“…Past research indicates that sportspeople tend to have a higher level of resiliency than people who are not engaged in sport (Cevada et al, 2012;Deuster & Silverman, 2013;Machida, Irwin, & Feltz, 2013). Similarly higher results with regards to resiliency were obtained by police officers and diabetics, i.e.…”

The aim of this paper is to describe the results of a study concerning the relationship between resiliency and appraisal of a stressful situation, anxiety reactions and undertaken methods of coping among sportsmen. participants and procedureThe research concerned 192 competitors who actively train in one of the Olympic disciplines -individual or team. We used the following instruments: Resiliency Assessment Scale (SPP-25); Stress Appraisal Questionnaire A/B; Reactions to Competition Questionnaire; Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS); Sport Stress Coping Strategies Questionnaire (SR3S, self-constructed). resultsAthletes most frequently apply positive types of stress appraisal, and they cope with stress through a task-oriented style during competitions. There is a relationship between the level of resiliency and the analysed aspects of the process of stress. The higher the resiliency, the more positive is the appraisal of a stressful situation and the more task-oriented are the strategies applied. Similarly, in everyday situations resilient sportspeople positively appraise difficult situations and undertake mostly task-oriented strategies. Resiliency is connected with less frequently experiencing reactions in the form of anxiety. conclusionsThe obtained results, similarly to previous research, suggest that resiliency is connected with experiencing positive emotions. It causes more frequent appraisal of stressful situations as a challenge. More resilient people also choose more effective and situation-appropriate coping strategies. Therefore they are more resistant to stress.

“…Gran parte de los estudios realizados en este ámbito, han planteado como principal objetivo la comprensión del comportamiento, pensamientos, creencias y emociones de aquellos atletas que previamente mostraron su capacidad para responder de forma eficiente en presencia de los diversos factores o elementos estresantes propios de la actividad deportiva (Galli & Gonzalez, 2014), tarea para la cual se han empleado de forma predominante técnicas de tipo cualitativo como la entrevista (Brown, Lafferty, & Triggs, 2015;Fletcher & Sarkar, 2012;Galli & Vealey, 2008;Machida, Irwin, & Feltz, 2013;Sarkar, Fletcher, & Brown, 2014). Recientemente y también mediante la aplicación de este tipo de técnicas, se ha estudiado este fenómeno desde una perspectiva colectiva en el ámbito de los deportes de equipo (Morgan, Fletcher, & Sarkar, 2013.…”

RESUMEN:Los deportistas a lo largo de su vida deportiva se pueden ver expuestos a situaciones que les son estresantes en mayor o menor medida, es precisamente esa capacidad para superarlos lo que se denomina resiliencia. En este estudio se pretende validar y adaptar la The Resilience Scale de Wagnild y Young (1993) a partir de la versión portuguesa desarrollada por Vigário et al., compuesto por 25 ítems. La muestra está conformada por 278 voleibolistas con una edad media de 20.9 años. El análisis factorial confirmatorio reveló unos índices de ajuste adecuados para el modelo de dos factores correlacionados y del modelo de orden superior de la ERCD, mostrándose la estructura invariante respecto al sexo. Los dos factores que integran la escala obtuvieron una alta consistencia interna. La ERCD se mostró como un instrumento psicométrico robusto y adecuado para medir en España la resiliencia en el contexto deportivo y de la actividad física. Palabras Clave: Resiliencia, actividad física, deporte, análisis factorial. Spanish validation and adaptation of the resilience scale in the sport context (ERCD)ABSTRACT: Athletes throughout their sports life can be exposed to situations that are stressful to a greater or lesser extent, it is precisely that ability to overcome what is called resilience. This study aims to validate and adapt Wagnild and Young's The Resilience Scale (1993) based on the Portuguese version developed by Vigário et al., composed of 25 items. The sample is made up of 278 volleyball players with a mean age of 20.9 years. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed adequate adjustment indices for the correlated two-factor model and the higher-order model of the ERCD, showing the invariant structure with respect to sex. The two factors that make up the scale obtained a high internal consistency. The ERCD was shown as a robust and adequate psychometric instrument to measure resilience in Spain in the context of sport and physical activity.

“…A partir da estratégia de enfrentamento treinabilidade, o atleta se disponibiliza a aprender por meio do treinamento e tem foco no esforço e no trabalho 33 . Nesse sentido, a percepção de resultados positivos, que ocorre após a experiência de adversidades pelos atletas, é considerada um fator chave no desenvolvimento da resiliência 34 , uma vez que a passagem por uma situação desfavorável auxilia-os a adicionar novas habilidades e perspectivas como uma visão mais positiva de vida, melhor relacionamento social, autorregulação, independência e maior confiança 35 . A concentração também foi um dos fatores mais importantes para os atletas resilientes (Tabelas 3 e 5).…”
