Burnout em tenistas brasileiros infanto-juvenis

Abstract

RESUMOO presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar a síndrome de burnout em tenistas infanto-juvenis brasileiros. A amostra foi composta por 88 tenistas, sendo 69 meninos (M= 15.3 anos, DP= 1.2) e 19 meninas (M= 15.1 anos, DP= 1.3) que responderam ao Questionário de Burnout para Atletas e a um questionário de caracterização. Utilizou-se de estatística descritiva (frequências, percentuais, máximo e mínimo) e inferencial não-paramétrica (Kruskall-Wallis e Mann Whitney), estabelecendo-se significância de p< 0.05. Tenistas com menor tempo de prática (1 a 3 anos) apresentaram menores índices de exaustão física e emocional (p= 0.005, ∆= −0.57) quando comparados com os que treinavam há mais tempo (4 a 7 anos). Tenistas com menor volume de treino (até 10 horas por semana) apresentaram maiores índices de burnout (p= 0.009, ∆= 0.33), desvalorização desportiva (p= 0.011, ∆= 0.56) e baixo senso de realização desportiva (p= 0.002, ∆= 0.44) do que os com maior volume (11 a 20 horas por semana). As associações encontradas vão ao encontro de pressupostos teóricos da síndrome de burnout em atletas e pesquisas que investigaram essa população.

“…In addition, numerically different results were found between the age groups and the divisions, and it ranked the athletes in different syndrome classification scales, according to the herein used QBA instrument. Recent studies conducted with dancers, tennis players, rugby sevens and young swimmers in Brazil also found low total burnout values 14,18,21,23 , thus corroborating the present study. Despite the shortage of studies about indoor Volleyball in the country, Vieira et al 24 found similar results in Beach Volleyball.…”

“…Other studies have found similar results and indicated positive PT effect on the reduction of stressful situations, since less experienced athletes are prone to higher stress situations 24,28,29 . Contrary to these results, Casagrande et al 18 found that tennis players with longer PT showed increased perceived PEE in comparison to those with shorter PT, although such perception was not related to total burnout. It may be explained by the fact that the demands to less experienced athletes are low, as well as their commitment to the sport 18 .…”

“…These results corroborate the study by Cresswell and Eklund 26 , who found that feelings such as reduced sense of sport accomplishment have increased in the precompetitive and competitive phases, whereas the PEE dimension in the current study showed higher overall values. In addition, Casagrande et al 18 conducted studies with Brazilian tennis players in the formative categories, Costa et al 23 conducted studies with male and female dancers, Verardi et al 27 conducted studies with soccer players, and Costa et al 21 conducted studies with male and female swimmers. All these authors found that the RSSA was the most prevalent feeling.…”

“…This syndrome has become increasingly common among athletes and it is featured as individual, complex and multifaceted [14][15][16] . Studies about burnout in sports are recent; the first ones were conducted in the last decade and were mainly focused on athletes, coaches and referees 1,2,11,14,15,17,18 . According to Pires et al 19 , burnout may be caused by the mismatch between the athletes' expectations and goals towards the sport and the psychological, physical and social demands of the sport in question.…”
