Abstract(s)
A incidência de burnout em atletas tem vindo a ser um fenómeno cada vez mais presente no
mundo do desporto. O desenvolvimento de burnout tem sido associado à qualidade da relação
da relação treinador-atleta. Para além disso, as estratégias de coping utilizadas pelos atletas
estão relacionadas, tanto com a qualidade da relação treinador-atleta, como com o
desenvolvimento de burnout. Este estudo tem como objetivo testar a influência da relação
treinador-atleta nos níveis de burnout experienciados pelos atletas, mediada pelas estratégias de
coping utilizadas. Participaram 141 participantes, atletas entre os 16 e os 41 anos (M = 20.8,
DP = 3.44). As variáveis em estudo foram avaliadas pelas versões portuguesas do ABQ (Athlete
Burnout Questionnaire), CART-Q (Coach Athlete Relationship Questionnaire), e Brief COPE.
Foi encontrada uma relação negativa e estatisticamente significativa entre a qualidade da
relação treinador-atleta e o burnout. Verificou-se também uma associação positiva entre a
qualidade da relação treinador-atleta e a utilização de estratégias de coping focadas no
problema. Por sua vez, as estratégias de coping focadas no problema correlacionaram-se
negativamente com os níveis de burnout, ao contrário das estratégias focadas no evitamento
que se associaram positivamente com pelo menos uma das dimensões do burnout. Não se
verificou o efeito mediador das estratégias de coping na relação entre a qualidade da relação
treinador-atleta e o burnout. Os resultados alertam para a importância de se investir na
construção e manutenção de relações positivas no mundo desportivo.
ABSTRACT: The incidence of burnout in athletes has become an increasingly prevalent phenomenon in the world of sports. The development of burnout has been associated with the quality of the coachathlete relationship. Furthermore, the coping strategies used by athletes are related both to the quality of the coach-athlete relationship and the development of burnout. This study aims to test the influence of the coach-athlete relationship on the levels of burnout experienced by athletes, mediated by the coping strategies employed. A total of 141 participants took part, consisting of athletes between the ages of 16 and 41 (M = 21, SD = 3.44). The variables in the study were assessed using the portuguese versions of the ABQ, Athlete Burnout Questionnaire, CART-Q, Coach Athlete Relationship Questionnaire, and Brief COPE. A negative and statistically significant relationship was found between the quality of the coach-athlete relationship and burnout. There was also a positive association between the quality of the coachathlete relationship and the use of problem-focused coping strategies. In turn, problem-focused coping strategies negatively correlated with burnout levels, in contrast to avoidance-focused strategies, which were positively associated with at least one of the burnout dimensions. No mediating effect of coping strategies was found in the relationship between the quality of the coach-athlete relationship and burnout. The results highlight the importance of investing in the construction and maintenance of positive relationships in the sporting world.
