A Mediation Model between Self-Esteem, Anxiety, and Depression in Sport: The Role of Gender Differences in Speleologists

“…This would mean that the practice of speleology as a sport could be seen to have a protective effect on emotional problems such as anxiety, a theory that is also supported by authors such as Muñoz Gómez et al [25] in their research study with BMX sportsmen and women. Physical activity, in general, decreases the states of anxiety of people who practice them, due to the production of chemical substances that create wellbeing in the sportsmen or -women's bodies.…”

“…Future studies should also continue to investigate the differences between such groups, and further analyze the differences between specific sports and/or considering age groups, years of practice or intensity of practice, as some authors have already proposed [75]. By way of conclusion, we consider emotions such as anxiety, self-esteem, depression and their collateral effects to be interesting topics of international relevance, with significant repercussions in terms of the various sports [25]; therefore, these emotions demand further research.…”

“…The science has proven that when depression affects an individual, there is a significant alteration in the production of certain neurotransmitters that control their state of mind. According to scientific studies, in sports people specifically, the act of exercising their bodies helps to balance the production of neurotransmitters [25,43]. With regards to the gender of sportspeople, various studies have highlighted the protective effect of sport; that is, the more a sport is practiced, the fewer the symptoms of depression.…”

“…In general, these studies all show that, for both men and women, it is not necessary to perform a high-volume physical activity, nor one that is vigorous in intensity. However, frequency is an important factor in reducing symptoms related to depression (the more frequent the physical activity, the lower the chances of depressive symptoms) [25,44]. Olmedillo et al [45] found particular benefits in women who regularly practice some type of physical exercise.…”

“…An active lifestyle grants a protective effect against the incidence of disorders such as anxiety or depression. Previous studies have analyzed various popular sports, such as those by Aguinaga et al [23], Hevilla-Merino and Castillo Rodríguez [24], and Muñoz Gómez et al [25]; however, the literature has not covered other minority sports such as speleology, which can also play an important role in reducing the levels of depression and anxiety. This is why this research study focused on the practice of speleology as a sport.…”
