“…In agreement with these results, it is in line with Goodger et al (2007) and Gould et al (1996) which states that males experience more burnout. Conversely, Gustafsson et al (2007) showed consistency with the finding that male students had more depersonalization than female students despite the fact that female students had more burnout than male students. Consistent with our study some studies reported no difference between the burnout scores of employees according to gender variable (Cresswell and Eklund, 2005;Cresswell and Eklund, 2006).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate burnout levels of handball players in terms of age, gender and experience. In this study, 116 female and 128 male, totally 244 handball players with the mean age 22.39±1.98 year participated voluntarily. Maslach Burnout Inventory that originally developed by Maslach and Jackson (1981) and adapted to Turkish population by Ergin (1992) was used for measuring the burnout levels of handball players. The data of this research analyzed with SPSS package program and to test the internal consistency of the scale, Cronbach Alpha coefficient was calculated. According to the binary group comparisons, it was determined that the data were not normally distributed and therefore Mann Whitney U test was used. And also, The Kruskall Wallis H test was used for the multiple group comparisons. According to Mann Whitney U test results, there were no significant differences in emotional burnout (p=.088, p>.05), depersonalization (p =.411, p>.05) and personal accomplishment (p=.503, p>.05) between male and female handball players. According to Kruskall Wallis H test results, there were no significant differences in emotional burnout (p=.152; p>.05), depersonalization (p=.310; p>.05) and personal accomplishment (p=.301, p>.05) sub dimensions according to age and no significant difference was found in the subscale of personal accomplishment (p=.641; p> .05) according to the experience variable. But, there were statistically significant difference in emotional burnout (p=.003; p<.05) and depersonalization (p=.008; p<.05) sub -dimensions according to experience variable. As a result, burnout level and depersonalization are thought to be important in terms of the experience of handball players.

“…Revising Maslach and Jackson's (1981) occupational definition, Raedeke (1997) specified that athlete burnout is most commonly characterized as a syndrome consisting of three distinct components: (a) emotional exhaustion, (b) sport devaluation, and (c) reduced personal accomplishment. Current research incorporating various sporting contexts reveals that the strains and antecedents for burnout are numerous, and the symptoms associated with each athlete can vary (e.g., Gustafsson, Kenttä, Hassmén, & Lundqvist, 2007a;Lemyre, Treasure, & Roberts, 2006). Despite the specific nature of sport, in many ways, the athletic burnout experience supports findings originating from the occupational literature and specifically, the 12 phases of burnout proposed by Freudenberger and North (1985).…”

Within the current study, the process of adolescent burnout is considered in relation to perceived contributors, symptoms, consequences, and subsequently, effective and ineffective coping strategies. Through case studies, the researchers sought the burnout experiences of three competitive female gymnasts. Participants were selected based on scores obtained from Raedeke and Smith’s (2001) Athlete Burnout Questionnaire. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the process, athlete data were considered in tandem with interviews from at least one parent and one coach. Transcribed data were segmented into meaning units, coded into a hierarchy of themes and verified by each respondent. Despite common trends among the participants, differences were also found in relation to symptoms, contributors, and the progression of the condition. Implications are provided for the athlete/parent/coach triad and also for sport psychologists.

“…Já a competição é o momento que os treinadores utilizam seus conhecimentos, a fim de obterem o máximo resultado. A partir da organização e dos treinamentos, os treinadores estabelecem rotinas para que seus atletas não sintam pressão e/ou estresse que possa provocar o abandono da modalidade (GUSTAFSSON et al, 2007).…”

IntroduçãoIndivíduos com desempenhos excepcionais são reconhecidos por suas vitórias. No entanto, ao avaliar apenas o resultado final de um atleta, e não a sua trajetória desde o primeiro dia de prática esportiva, pode-se cometer uma interpretação erronia deste desempenho. Dessa forma, compreender os fatores que norteiam atletas experts é de fundamental importância para a compreensão da excelência no esporte. JANELLE, 1999;BAKER et al., 2003). A perspectiva genética afirma que o indivíduo possui uma carga genética que define e destaca as diferenças de uma pessoa da outra, que são fundamentais para se atingir níveis excepcionais de desempenho. Já a perspectiva ambiental argumenta que o ambiente é o principal fornecedor das forças intervenientes para o Motriz, Rio Claro, v.18 n.1, p.130-142, jan./mar. 2012 Artigo Original Nadadores medalhistas olímpicos: contexto do desenvolvimento brasileiro Olympic Medal-winning swimmers: The Brazilian context of developmentAbstract: Expertise as a field is one that studies the authenticity of the expert, meaning the skill or knowledge level he or she has in a certain field, such as athletics. Different models, from the ambient perspective, judge factors that influence the development of the expert. The aim of this study was to verify the context in which Brazilian swimmers develop, specifically those who have won an olympic medal. Eight swimmers who have won at least one medal in any category of the Olympic games were interviewed. The transcripts of the interviews were recorded, after which a qualitative analysis using Meaning -Units (MUs). 218 MUs were classified as follows: when the athlete's career began, the presence of coaches, the influence of family and friends, and deliberated practice. From the results, it can be concluded that the context of development contributed fundamentally to the evolution of the athletes. The diverse realities show that there is not a necessary pattern needed to restrict excellency.
