Abstract
There are a lot of studies about the athlete’s stress in a game. But, there are quite few studies that paid
attention to the stress of the coach on a bench during a game. And so, we conducted the present research as a
pilot study from the mental management perspective. And we analyzed the data focus on heart rate about stress situation during the game.
The subject was a coach of the Y university men’s volleyball team.
As a result, we observed elevation of heart rate when got a score through all 19 sets(ten sets of 2007 Kanto
Koshinnetsu meeting three games, two parts of 2007 Kanto university volleyball league fall league match three
games nine sets). Moreover, elevation of heart rate was found in a scene when Y university got a scores and
close the gap from the defeated situation. In this scene, elevation of heart rate was thought that positive stress
such as expectation or excitement. Also, elevation of heart rate was in the scene when Y university lost points.
In contrast, the scene when heart rate decreased was after a intake of water and after a time out.
