“…We expected an increase in burnout dimensions over time, as well as a decrease in coping strategies. Finally, based on previous research that supported the hypothesized associations between burnout and coping in sport (Madigan et al, 2020), we expected negative relationships between burnout and coping variables during the season.…”

“…Athletes competing at the national and international level face loneliness, pressure from parents and coaches, and a lack of leisure time and contact with family during practice and competition, which are in addition to excessive hours of training, travel and competitions ( Madigan et al, 2019 ). These situations bring high-intensity emotions and feelings, such as anxiety, worry, and stress which must be controlled by athletes in order to cope with and adapt to their feelings ( Madigan et al, 2020 ). Stressful situations require the development of strategies to deal with them in order not to let stress negatively affect performance.…”

Burnout is a psychological syndrome of reaction to chronic stress that occurs in athletes who feel exhausted by a sport activity that was previously pleasurable and enjoyable. One technique to prevent and control the syndrome is through coping, which is the ability to deal with stressful situations. In contrast to traditional cross-sectional approaches, this study aimed to investigate burnout and coping strategy characteristics over time and to analyze the relationship between burnout dimensions and coping strategies. Fifty-four high-level volleyball athletes (twenty-eight men and twenty-six women, age M = 25.57, SD = 4.72, range 18-35) completed paper-and-pencil measures of burnout and coping four times throughout a sport season. The Friedman test presented a significant increase in the reduced sense of athletic accomplishment (X2 = 20.58; p < 0.01) and sport devaluation (X2 = 19.83; p < 0.01) perceptions during the season. However, no coping differences were observed through the longitudinal analysis. Burnout dimensions showed a moderate inverse correlation to confidence/motivation at all measurement points during the season. Overall, the findings suggest that burnout perceptions increase as the season progresses, highlighting the relevance for the periodization of burnout prevention and control

“…It is important to highlight that 9.43% of the soccer athletes remained stable with no oscillations throughout the season with low levels of frequency of feelings of burnout, indicating remote possibilities of manifestation of the syndrome. Evidence shows that low levels of burnout are associated with effective coping strategies 11,31,33 , self-directed perfectionism 10,11 , passion for sport 10 , and also for the ability of these individuals to deal with the stress, pressures, demands, and uncertainties existing in this category throughout the season, in relation to the final stage of promoting the base category towards the professional team.…”

“…It also causes alterations in the personal, family, and professional lives of these athletes 30 , as in many cases they will have to try to continue their sports career by looking for a new club, moving to another city, and moving away from family members and their social cycle. All of these factors combined contribute to a higher probability of manifestation of burnout [31][32][33]35 , especially in the U-20 category, which is the last divider between amateurism and professionalization, which reinforces the need for individualized monitoring and the establishment of specific benchmarks for this category.…”

The aimed of the study were: (a) to construct a reference table for burnout in soccer athletes of the U-20 category and (b) to verify the individual oscillations in the perception of these athletes in relation to burnout over three periods of the sports season. The 53 sub-20 soccer athletes participated. The Atlhete Burnout Questionnaire, brazilian version, was applied to athletes during training, competition and vacation periods of the sports season. A reference table was built for under-20 soccer athletes for each assessed period. Fluctuations were found in the average values of the total burnout frequency of the athletes during the 3 periods: training (=1.35 ± 0.13 and =2.11 ± 0.19), competition (=1.26 ± 0.13 and =2.27 ± 0.24) and vacation (=1.27 ± 0.14 and = 2.18 ± 0.28) Based on this table and the individual classification of each athlete, it was observed that 32 athletes presented fluctuations in the perception of burnout during the sports season and 21 athletes did not show fluctuations in feelings of burnout during the three evaluation periods. The period with the highest number of athletes (n = 17) with a high level of burnout was the training period. It is concluded that it is not possible to establish a single and collective behavior regarding the fluctuations of burnout levels in athletes of the U-20 category during a sports season, and that the category reference table contributes to a greater accuracy of the burnout evaluation in every season.

“…As burnout is a reaction to chronic stress (Smith, 1986), the management of stressful situations (i.e., coping) should be relevant to preventing and controlling burnout (John and Henrik, 2013;Madigan et al, 2020). The burnout control can be done through coping, a set of behavioural and cognitive efforts aimed to control, reduce or tolerate internal or external demands that arise in specific stressful situations and are evaluated as overloads (Folkman and Lazarus, 1985).…”

This study aimed to investigate burnout and coping throughout a year of competition as well as to analyse the relationship between dimensions of burnout and coping strategies. Brazilian high-level judo athletes (N = 20) completed questionnaires of burnout and coping. Data collection occurred four times throughout a sport season. Although the results showed no increase in burnout dimensions, the confidence/motivation coping strategy increased during the season. Moreover, burnout dimensions showed a moderate and inverse correlation to confidence/motivation throughout the season.
