| Omschrijving: | The aim of this study was to compare selected psychological constructs of Mexican male and female athletes of individual and team sports who participated in the National Inter-Polytechnic Games in Durango, México, 2016. One hundred and ninety eight athletes completed a questionnaire about burnout syndrome, sports climate, depression, somatic anxiety, cognitive anxiety, and self-esteem. Results indicated a higher number of men in individual sports and women in team sports with less burnout risk (χ2 = 16.71, p < 0.001), but with low self-esteem (χ2 = 20.76, p < 0.001). No significant interactions were found between sports and gender variables for age, general burnout, sports climate, overall self-esteem, confidence, and body satisfaction (p > 0.05). Women had lower mean depression scores than men (45.34 ± 9.42 vs. 47.66 ± 7.64, p = 0.025). Athletes in team sports had lower scores in somatic anxiety than individual sports athletes (13.83 ± 4.51 vs. 14.70 ± 4.94, p = 0.018), and men had lower somatic anxiety scores than women (13.22 ± 4.29 vs. 14.76 ± 4.83, p = 0.002). In conclusion, women showed higher cognitive anxiety scores than men and both showed similarities and differences in psychological constructs related to sports performance during the university sport competition. |
