Personality factors as predictors of overtraining syndrome in Czech performance athletes: The influence of neuroticism, conscientiousness, perfectionism and athletic identity.

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Overtraining syndrome (OTS) poses a considerable risk to athletes, especially those in competitive sports, owing to its detrimental effects on physical health, psychological well-being and athletic performance. Understanding how personality traits affect susceptibility to OTS is essential for developing effective prevention and intervention strategies, yet this area remains underexplored. This cross-sectional study investigates the relationship between personality traits – neuroticism, conscientiousness, perfectionism and athletic identity – and training stress among 178 Czech performance athletes aged 18-30. The goal is to determine how these traits influence training stress, a key precursor to OTS. The data were collected using validated psychological questionnaires, including the Big Five Inventory, the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale and the Performance Perfectionism Scale. Training stress was assessed via the Training Distress Scale, a validated tool for identifying early signs of overtraining. The study sample included athletes from both individual and team sports, and covered a range of disciplines from endurance-based to skill-based sports. Multiple regression analysis reveals that personality traits explain 32% of the variance in training stress (p < .001). Specifically, socially prescribed perfectionism (β = 0.34) and self-oriented perfectionism (β = 0.30) emerge as the strongest predictors of training stress, while conscientiousness appears to act as a mild protective factor (β = -0.23), potentially mitigating the negative effects of training stress. While personality traits, particularly perfectionism, significantly contribute to understanding susceptibility to OTS, they are not the sole determinants. This underscores the importance of adopting a holistic approach to athlete management, integrating psychological and social factors that influence OTS development. Future research should delve deeper into these additional factors to build a more comprehensive foundation for effective prevention and intervention strategies, ultimately supporting the overall well-being of athletes.
