UFABET เข้าสู่ระบบ ง่ายดายเพียงไม่กี่ขั้นตอน is a dangerous condition in which athletes lose their motivation to train or compete. As a result, they are at risk of injury and losing their career. This article, by NATA member Darren Burgess, reviews research on athlete burnout and suggests ways to prevent it.
The studies included in the review ranged in publication dates from 2015 to 2021. They utilised cross-sectional and longitudinal designs, case-control and prospective cohort studies. Despite the wide-ranging study design, the majority of the reviewed studies used self-report questionnaires to measure psychological distress. This made it difficult to determine causality in the observed associations. Furthermore, the unique ethnography of some study populations further impacted the generalisability of findings.
Avoiding the Red Zone: The Challenge of Preventing Burnout in Professional Footballers
During their playing careers, footballers experience many stressors. The exogenous pressure to perform well in every game combined with the internal demands of training, academic work, and travel can lead to burnout. Furthermore, off-the-field pressures such as parental expectations, the demands of other sports, and conflicts with coaches and trainers may contribute to a player’s mental health distress.
Taking time away from sports is one way that a player can prevent burnout. A brief period several times a year away from the demands of their sport allows them to focus on schoolwork and relationships, which can lead to enhanced motivation once they return to the pitch. Alternatively, some studies suggest that reducing the number of matches played at club and international levels may reduce the risk of burnout.
