The aim of this study was to investigate the anxiety levels of athletes in revenue sports context Parana. Specifically, we compared anxiety levels between genders of athletes. The subjects were 238 athletes and 110 (46%) were male and 128 (54%) female. The tools that have been used were: identification form, questionnaire competitive state anxiety (SCAT). The data collection was individual in JAP'S 2008. The association was analyzed with chi-square for trends and prevalence ratio with Poisson regression, considering p <0.05. There is a significant difference between the values at the high level of anxiety (5.5% males and 28.1% female). The Chi-squared test shows that there is an association between gender and anxiety levels (P = 0.0001). The analysis of Poisson regression with robust adjustment identifies that women have prevalence 5.15 times greater than men to present high levels of anxiety. However, we found no significant difference in anxiety between team sports and individual (P = 0.72). Thus, we conclude that levels of anxiety are presented as an intervening factor in motor performance of these athletes of income.
