Watching top track and field athletes in action seems like a controlled release of aggression. The explosive events (sprints & some field events) do that quickly, while the endurance events have to release the valve more slowly.
Rare to see angry t&f athletes in actual competition...though I have seen some angry shot putters in my time because they hadn't been aggressive enough on the day! Better to buy them a drink and commiserate :-)
So; anger, no.
Aggression; yes.
Isn't giving birth one of nature's more aggressive activities for many species?
Maybe some female readers can comment better...
