how anxiety affects heart-rate?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : APA Division 47 Exercise and Sport Psychology : One Thread

i was wondering how the heart-rate is affected, whilst performing in a sport, with increased anxiety and stress? i am a student doing research into the change in heart-rate of a hockey goalkeeper depending on where the ball is on the field, how close it is to the goal and how much threat the ball poses where it is, which can be shown in a change of heart-rate?

thankyou
