Abstract

The article deals with the issues of mental burnout in sports activities. The relationship between perceived stress and mental burnout among athletes involved in individual and team sports was studied. The study made it possible to establish mental burnout as a consequence of the process of chronic stress. Empirically, it has also been possible to establish a positive relationship between stress and burnout. The study showed a significant expression of perceived stress among athletes involved in individual sports, as opposed to team sports, which is associated with the presence of a social factor in team sports. Likewise, mental burnout, according to its indicators, has received wider development among athletes in individual sports, as opposed to team sports. It has been empirically proven that mental burnout is expressed in a feeling of physical tiredness, a decrease in the level of claims, followed in the future by deep disappointment, a drop in interest in sports activities and the termination of a sports career. The work provides some recommendations that could allow an athlete to maintain an interest in training and competitive activities, improve himself and strive to maintain his sports career.
