A review was performed using PRISMA method, in PubMed, ScienceDirect, PsycArticles and SPORTDiscus with the descriptors of Anxiety AND Exercise between 2015- 2021. An initial 289 papers were obtained. Criteria were applied finally selecting 22 studies to analyze. The STAI continues to be the most widely used instrument.
