핸드볼선수의 스트레스 및 심리사회적 변인과 탈진간의 관계분석

Abstract

It is known that stress has psychological, physical and negative effects on humans. Athletes can expect the best perfrormance when they are in their best condition without any physical disease or injury. If an athlete is experiencing mental anxiety and conflict due to an excessive amount of stress, he cannot perform his capability sufficiently and if he cannot overcome such problem, it will ruin his career. The purpose of the study is to analyze the exhaustion level due to anxiety elements of high school handball players in order to control psychological elements of the players so that they can maximize their athletic abilities. Furthermore, the study will provide basic data which the instructors can apply at the court. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, 200 handball players of men and women's high schools that are registered in the Korea Handball Federation were analyzed using the scales of athletic stress, social support, management and exhaustion. The followings are the main results. First, the analysis on the difference in frequency and intensicy of athletic stress, psychological/social variables and exhaustion by gender showed that the female players showed a high result in frequency and intensity of tension and social support level. Second, the study showed as the players' tension level and stress level increase, their exhaustion frequency increases. Also, when the players' tension level is high, their exhaustion intensity increased. On the other hand, it was found that the exhaustion level got lower as the management level got higher.
