音乐表演焦虑症（MPA），或音乐表演中的怯场，对许多音乐家来说是一个严重的问题，因为伴随MPA的表演障碍会威胁他们的职业生涯。本研究旨在阐明社会评价的表现情况如何影响钢琴家的主观，自主和运动应激反应。当18名熟练的钢琴家在压力（比赛）和非压力下演奏他们选择的钢琴独奏作品时，获得了主观状态焦虑、心率（HR）、出汗率（SR）和上肢肌肉肌电（EMG）活动的测量结果。（排练）条件。参与者报告说，在竞争条件下，更大的焦虑，这证实了压力操纵的有效性。从排练状态到比赛状态，心率和反应速率显著增加，反映了自主神经系统交感神经的激活。此外，参与者表现出更高水平的肌电图幅度的近端肌肉（肱二头肌和上二头肌）和拮抗肌在前臂（指总伸肌和指浅屈肌）在竞争条件下的共同收缩。虽然这些反应可以被解释为适应性生物系统的组成部分，在不稳定或不可预测的环境中创造一种运动准备状态，但它们会破坏钢琴家在舞台上的精细运动控制，并增加与演奏相关的肌肉骨骼疾病的风险，从而对钢琴家产生不利影响。
Music performance anxiety (MPA), or stage fright in music performance, is a serious problem for many musicians, because performance impairment accompanied by MPA can threaten their career. The present study sought to clarify on how a social-evaluative performance situation affects subjective, autonomic, and motor stress responses in pianists. Measurements of subjective state anxiety, heart rate (HR), sweat rate (SR), and electromyographic (EMG) activity of upper extremity muscles were obtained while 18 skilled pianists performed a solo piano piece(s) of their choice under stressful (competition) and non-stressful (rehearsal) conditions. Participants reported greater anxiety in the competition condition, which confirmed the effectiveness of stress manipulation. The HR and SR considerably increased from the rehearsal to competition condition reflecting the activation of sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. Furthermore, participants showed higher levels of the EMG magnitude of proximal muscles (biceps brachii and upper trapezius) and the co-contraction of antagonistic muscles in the forearm (extensor digitorum communis and flexor digitorum superficialis) in the competition condition. Although these responses can be interpreted as integral components of an adaptive biological system that creates a state of motor readiness in an unstable or unpredictable environment, they can adversely influence pianists by disrupting their fine motor control on stage and by increasing the risk of playing-related musculoskeletal disorders.
