“…In the study by Aston et al [ 30 ], for retired and active hockey players, greater alexithymia was associated with greater depressive symptoms. Medina-Porqueres et al [ 31 ] showed that seniors who are physically active have lower results in alexithymia and depression scores than those who are not physically active.…”

Alexithymia and Athletic Performance: Beneficial or Deleterious, Both Sides of the Medal? A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

Background: Numerous studies have been published on alexithymia among athletes in the last decades. The objective, here, is to provide a critical review on alexithymia in sport and identify elements demonstrating that alexithymic athletes can attain a competitive advantage. Methods: The Center for Reviews and Dissemination guidelines were used. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines served as the template for reporting the present systematic review. We searched PubMed, Embase, Science Direct, and PsycINFO, without language or date restrictions. Results: Within 72 eligible studies, 23 articles fulfilling the selection criteria were included in the review. Alexithymia is associated with various pathologies and considered to be counter-performing. However, despite considerable suspicion of an advantageous performance effect of alexithymia, there is a lack of data to quantify this effect. Studies identified are heterogeneous (different scales of measurement of alexithymia used or outcomes, different sports), that do not allow us to conclude on an observed causal relationship, because the studies are mostly observational. Conclusion: This systematic review opens a new search field on alexithymia, as possibly promoting performance.

“…De otro lado, los resultados de estudios de Medina et al (2016) indican que la práctica física, recreativa y de moderada intensidad, preferiblemente dirigida por un profesional, inciden de manera favorable no sólo en la reducción de la depresión sino de alexitimia, comprendida ésta, como un desorden neurológico que se presenta como estado de olvido o capacidad para controlar y expresar ideas e incluso emociones. Son variados los cambios que se presentan con el paso de los años sobre todo en personas con bajo nivel de actividad física (Guillen, Bueno, Gutiérrez & Guerra, 2018), de igual manera se presentan cambios cardiovasculares, metabólicos, motrices, musculares-esqueléticos etc., que refuerzan positivamente el estado de saludo de las personas.…”

Actividad física: un aporte para el tratamiento de la depresión busca contribuir al conocimiento existente sobre la actividad física y su aporte al tratamiento de la depresión. Inicialmente, se presentan las bases conceptuales sobre la actividad física, considerada por expertos como una alternativa favorable para el cuidado de la salud humana. A continuación, se hace una aproximación a la naturaleza de la depresión, un estado que reduce la salud de las personas en todo el mundo. Posteriormente, se analizan conceptos preliminares sobre la relación entre actividad física y depresión. Luego se presentan algunos resultados de investigaciones sobre actividad física y depresión con el fin de que la comunidad académica disponga de bases teóricas relacionadas con la manera en que la actividad física puede contrarrestar los efectos producidos por la depresión. Finalmente, se presentan algunos ejercicios basados en técnicas de relajación con los que se busca que el lector encuentre diferentes alternativas favorables para hacer frente a estados depresivos.

“…It is important to notice that alexithymia is particularly associated with anxiety and depression in the general population [ 16 ]; each influences the development of the others. To our knowledge, the alexithymia/anxiety link in sport has been only poorly studied as it has in depression.…”

An Association between Alexithymia and the Characteristics of Sport Practice: A Multicenter, Cross-Sectional Study

et al. 2022

Background: This was a multicenter, cross-sectional study which aimed to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of sport practice (weekly training duration, level of practice) and alexithymia in adults who were officially licensed at a sports club. Methods: From a sample of sports club licensed adults, 188 participants were included. The participants completed computerized questionnaires on anthropometric data and characteristics of sport practice (level and weekly time spent on sport practice) as well as alexithymia (TAS 20), depression (BDI-13) and anxiety traits (STAI-Y form B). Results: In this sample, 91 (48.4%) and 97 (51.6%) athletes engaged in recreational and competitive sport practice, respectively. We observed a prevalence of 31.9% for alexithymia. Moreover, alexithymics were more involved in competitive than recreational practice (40.2% versus 23.1%, respectively; p = 0.019) and they were less anxious (63.9% versus 80.2%, respectively; p = 0.010). Finally, alexithymia was significantly more pronounced than non-alexithymia among sports competition practitioners (OR: 3.57 (95 CI [1.26–10.08]; p = 0.016) and we observed less alexithymia in team sports practice than confrontation sports (OR: 0.20 (95 CI [0.05–0.78]; p = 0.020). Conclusions: Alexithymic athletes were more involved in competition than recreational sports compared to non-alexithymic subjects, whilst there were more alexithymic athletes in confrontation sports than in team sports.
