“…There is a broad base of evidence-based knowledge concerning stress and its negative impact on health as well as on the competitiveness of humans (Dougall and Baum, 2001; Elfering et al, 2017; Gerber and Schilling, 2017; Siegrist, 2017; Von Dawans and Heinrichs, 2017). Previous research has shown that chronic stress in particular, as opposed to acute stress, is associated with sustained adverse health effects (Schulz and Schlotz, 1999; Dougall and Baum, 2001; Becker et al, 2004; Serido et al, 2004; Fries and Kirschbaum, 2009).…”

The demands of a career in competitive sports can lead to chronic stress perception among athletes if there is a non-conformity of requirements and available coping resources. The Trier Inventory for Chronic Stress (TICS) (Schulz et al., 2004) is said to be thoroughly validated. Nevertheless, it has not yet been subjected to a confirmatory factor analysis. The present study aims (1) to evaluate the factorial validity of the TICS within the context of competitive sports and (2) to adapt a short version (TICS-36). The total sample consisted of 564 athletes (age in years: M = 19.1, SD = 3.70). The factor structure of the original TICS did not adequately fit the present data, whereas the short version presented a satisfactory fit. The results indicate that the TICS-36 is an economical instrument for gathering interpretable information about chronic stress. For assessment in competitive sports with TICS-36, we generated overall and gender-specific norm values.

Workplace wellbeing initiatives supporting mental health often utilise wearable activity trackers to promote physical activity. However, evidence regarding their efficacy is limited. The current study explored the potential for a Fitbit™ to increase engagement in exercise and to moderate the effect of exercise on work-related wellbeing in full-time workers. Participants recorded their work-related wellbeing and physical activity for two consecutive weeks, one wearing a Fitbit™. Results indicated that participants engaged in fewer minutes of exercise when wearing a Fitbit™, and that exercise alone was not associated with better work-related wellbeing. Participants were more frustrated when they exercised but were not wearing a Fitbit™. Participants also reported greater temporal demand when wearing a Fitbit™, which was exacerbated when not engaging in exercise. However, Fitbit™ wear was also associated with greater work-related satisfaction, regardless of whether they had engaged in exercise that day. Our findings imply that wearing a Fitbit™ can moderate the impact of exercise on work-related wellbeing, suggesting that it is not the activity tracker or exercise alone, but the interaction between the two which is key. The potential for wearable trackers to be effective in improving health and wellbeing is more complex than previously anticipated and warrants further investigation.
