Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different distances of external focus attention and regulation of cognitive emotion on the performance of Tiz and Chamani whirlings in non-elite zoorkhaneh athletes. Based on the type of whirling (Tiz and Chamani) and types of cognitive emotion regulation strategies (adaptive and non-adaptive) the zoorkhaneh athletes were divided into four groups. The subjects in each group, according to counter balance method of homogeneity, performed zoorkhaneh whirling in three conditions of control, close and far external focus attention. Each subject in each condition of attention focus performed 2 trials with one day rest interval. Results of the study showed that zoorkhaneh athletes of Tiz and Chamani whirling groups had the best performance in far external attention focus and adoption of adaptive and non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies had no effect on their performance
