Standard instrument was computer anxiety questionnaire from Heinz, Glass and Knight (1987) that a group of University experts confirmed it.For the analysis of data, confirmatory factor analysis, t independent, correlation coefficients of two series - the point (rPbis) and (rser), one-way analysis of variance was used the.Results showed that there is no significant relationship between age (P≥0.821) and sex (P≥0.599) with computer anxiety but the relationship between level of education (P≤0.025), organizational post (P≤0.035), experience (P≤ 0.004) with computer anxiety was significantly.There is significant difference between computer anxiety in the physical education organization, sport federations and Physical Education in schools (F2,37 =3.339, P≤0.037). Finally, computer anxiety is a dynamic process and has different dimensions and complexity that should not simply look at it and studied.
