Abstract
The main objective of this chapter was to examine whether the sporting experience determines the emotional experience of the participants when playing competitive sports games. Seventy-three students (51 boys and 22 girls) of the 2nd year of the Degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences of the Catholic University San Antonio of Murcia (UCAM) participated in the study. To identify the emotional intensity experienced by the participants, the Games and Emotion Scale (GES) was used, and the generalized estimating equations test (GEE) and classification trees (CHAID method) were chosen to analyze the data obtained. The results showed that participants with previous physical-sports experience experienced emotions more intensely than participants with no previous experience. The conclusion drawn was that the physical-sports experience determines the optimal emotional experience of the students.
