TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the occurrence of burnout in volleyball female athletes participating on the Brazilian Regional Teams Championship 2013 and found significant correlations with practice time of seven years or more in addition to the General.
Abstract: Volleyball is one of the leading sports in Brazil and, in order to achieve good competitive levels, many training sessions are required which consequently generates physical and psychological wear. The result of this process can lead to chronic stress in practitioners, known as the Burnout Syndrome. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of this syndrome in volleyball female athletes participating on the Brazilian Regional Teams Championship 2013. The Athlete burnout Questionnaire was answered by 576 players (M = 16.4years, SD = 1.12). We used descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation to characterize the syndrome and the non-parametric correlation test of Kendall's tau-b to verify the correlation between the dimensions of burnout and the Practice Time (PT). The athletes presented mean scores (2.01±0:53) for complete burnout and significant correlations with TP of seven years or more in addition to the General.

TL;DR: In this article, a pesquisa teve como principal objetivo investigar as evidencias de validade e precisao do Inventario de Coping Para Atletas em Situacao de Competicao (ICASC-40), instrumento that avalia as estrategias de coping empregadas by atletas.
Abstract: Esta pesquisa teve como principal objetivo investigar as evidencias de validade e precisao do Inventario de Coping para Atletas em Situacao de Competicao (ICASC-40), instrumento que avalia as estrategias de coping empregadas por atletas frente as situacoes estressantes inerentes ao ambiente esportivo atraves de duas grandes dimensoes, evitacao e aproximacao. A amostra foi composta por 243 atletas de diferentes modalidades esportivas com idade entre 14 e 47 anos (M= 21,66±6,65, 55,6% homens), inscritos em instituicoes federativas. A Analise Fatorial Exploratoria indicou estrutura bidimensional do ICASC-40, confirmando a hipotese teorica das estrategias de evitacao e aproximacao, bem como a Analise Fatorial Confirmatoria demostrou a adequacao do ICASC-40 para avaliacao das estrategias especificas de coping com indices satisfatorios de consistencia interna. Tambem foram encontradas correlacoes de baixa e moderada magnitude com eficacia adaptativa, indicando adequacao do instrumento quanto a avaliacao do construto de coping em atletas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare coping strategies among high-performance athletes and amateur women's soccer players, finding that the high performance athletes performed better in all dimensions except for "trainability" and "freedom from worry" when compared to the amateur athletes.
Abstract: Introduction: High-performance athletes suffer a series of psychological disorders that can harm their overall performance. With the high levels of competitiveness and physical/tactical training that are required today, coping strategies to overcome these psychological disorders can make the difference between a winning team and a losing team. Objective: To compare coping strategies among high-performance athletes and amateur women’s soccer players. Methods: This is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional, non-probability study. The sample consisted of 56 athletes, divided into two groups: G1 – high-performance athletes and G2 – amateur women’s soccer players. The instrument used was the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 (ACSI – 28), validated for Brazil (ACSI – 25BR) and a demographic questionnaire containing 12 questions, developed by the authors themselves. For the data analysis, descriptive statistics, the Shapiro- Wilk test and the Student t test for independent data were used. A confidence level of 95% was adopted. Results: The high performance athletes had higher average scores, which were statistically significant, comparing to the amateur athletes, in the dimensions: “performance under pressure” (p=0.048), “concentration” (p=0.020) and “confidence/motivation” (p=0.009). Conclusion: The high performance athletes performed better in all dimensions except for “trainability” and “freedom from worry”, when compared to the amateur athletes.Keywords: athletes; soccer; adaptation, psychological.
