This quantitative-correlational study investigated the relationship between training volume and competitive anxiety among 40 combative varsity athletes at Western Mindanao State University. The sample included balanced representation from Arnis, Judo, Karate-do, and Taekwondo. Descriptive results revealed that athletes maintain a highly consistent training regimen (M=2.95), with 65% training 4–7 days per week. Conversely, competitive anxiety levels were relatively low (M=2.25), though characterized by high individual variability. Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated a significant moderate positive relationship between the variables (r=.360, p = .023), indicating that increased training workloads are associated with higher psychological distress. Furthermore, simple linear regression revealed that training volume significantly predicts competitive anxiety, accounting for 13% of its variance (R2 = .130). The findings suggest that while physical preparation is standardized, psychological responses are highly individualized. The substantial unexplained variance (87%) highlights the influence of external factors. These results underscore the need for coaches to monitor training loads and for the university to implement holistic mental health support programs alongside physical conditioning.
