Variabilidade do estado de humor durante uma competição: estudo com atletas juvenis de basquetebol

Abstract

Objetivou-se avaliar a variabilidade do estado de humor de atletas de Basquetebol durante uma competição. Participaram 27 atletas de Basquetebol, do mesmo clube, do sexo masculino, com idade entre 13 e 15 anos. Todos responderam a Escala de Humor de Brunel em seis jogos durante o campeonato. Os resultados demonstraram que os atletas investigados apresentaram, durante toda a competição, elevados escores de vigor, e baixaram os escores de confusão mental e tensão. Enquanto variabilidade, os atletas não apresentaram variabilidade durante a competição, ou seja, mantiveram-se com níveis elevados de humor positivo. Pode-se concluir que essa amostra apresentou o perfil de humor denominado de iceberg, durante toda competição.

Correlação entre a frequência de treinamento e o estado humor de corredores de rua: estudo transversal

“…The analysis presented emphasizes that the mood profile described in the literature, such as the concept of the "iceberg profile," referring to a mood state characterized by high vigor and low levels of other variables, is considered ideal for an athlete to achieve optimal sports performance [18]. For runners, maintaining a positive mood marked by high vigor and low levels of fatigue and tension can be beneficial during training [9]. On the other hand, a profile opposite to the iceberg, characterized by low vigor and high levels of fatigue, tension, anger, confusion, and depression, is considered a "depressed mood state" [19,20].…”

“…Each subscale includes 4 items with a Likert scale (Nothing = 0; A little = 1; Moderately = 2; Quite a bit = 3; Extremely = 4). After filling all the blanks, these variables become a set of items in six assessment subscales, covering anger (7,11,19,22), fatigue (4,8,10,21), depression (5,6,12,16), tension (1,13,14,18) and mental confusion (3,9,17,24) are categorized as a negative mood, while vigor is considered a positive factor (2,15,20,23), with the sum of each factor's response yielding a score that can range from 0 to 16 [15].…”

“…Street running has been associated with a variety of mood-related benefits, improving self-esteem, weight control and stress reduction, reinforces the relevance of physical activity while improving quality of life, along with improvements in mental health [8]. One of the main reasons in which the road race can have a positive impact on the state of humor is due to the release of endorphins, chemical substances produced by the brain which help reduce the pain and increase well-being [9]. Additionally, physical exercise can also help reduce the stress hormones produced, such as cortisol, and increase neurotransmitters, including serotonin, which are associated with happiness [10].…”
