Abstract

Objectives: A paucity of studies assesses the intersection of physical health (injury and illness), mental health and experiences of interpersonal violence (IV, also known as harassment and abuse) in sport. The objectives of this study were to examine the (a) frequency of self-reported physical and mental health problems of elite athletes in the 12 months prior to the survey, (b) differences in physical and mental health between male and female athletes and (c) relationship of athlete health with experiences of IV.

Methods: Elite adult athletes from four sports were approached at eight international events to answer an online questionnaire on their physical and mental health, as well as experiences of IV in sport within the past 12 months.

Results: A total of 562 athletes completed the questionnaire. Overall, 75% reported at least one physical symptom, most commonly headache and fatigue (n=188; 33.5% each), followed by musculoskeletal symptoms (n=169; 29.4%). 65.1% reported at least one mental health symptom, mostly of anxiety or depression. More female than male athletes reported physical (F:81.9%; M:68.3%; p<0.001) and mental (F:71.9%; M:58.4%; p<0.001) health problems, while addiction problems were more frequent in male athletes (F:1.8%; M:6.4%; p=0.006. 53.0% of the female and 42.3% of the male participants reported having experienced at least one form of IV. Linear regression analysis demonstrated that all forms of IV, except physical IV (all p's<0.001), were associated with an increasing number of physical and mental health symptoms. In addition, the analysis showed that female athletes had a higher increase in symptoms in response to IV than male athletes.

Conclusions: This study demonstrates the relationship of elite athlete physical and mental health with IV. Injury and illness prevention programmes in international sport should include strategies to reduce IV.

研究目的很少有研究对体育运动中的身体健康(伤病)、心理健康和人际暴力(IV,也称骚扰和虐待)经历之间的相互关系进行评估。本研究的目的是考察:(a) 精英运动员在调查前 12 个月内自我报告的身体和心理健康问题的频率;(b) 男女运动员在身体和心理健康方面的差异;(c) 运动员的健康与遭受人际暴力的经历之间的关系:方法:在八项国际赛事中接触了来自四个运动项目的成年精英运动员,让他们回答在线问卷,了解他们的身体和精神健康状况,以及过去 12 个月内在体育运动中的静脉注射经历:共有 562 名运动员完成了问卷调查。总体而言,75%的运动员报告了至少一种身体症状,最常见的是头痛和疲劳(188 人;各占 33.5%),其次是肌肉骨骼症状(169 人;占 29.4%)。65.1%的人报告了至少一种心理健康症状,其中大部分是焦虑或抑郁。报告身体症状的女运动员多于男运动员(女:81.9%;男:68.3%;p结论:这项研究表明,精英运动员的身心健康与 IV.国际体育运动中的伤病预防计划应包括减少 IV 的策略。

期刊介绍: The British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) is a dynamic platform that presents groundbreaking research, thought-provoking reviews, and meaningful discussions on sport and exercise medicine. Our focus encompasses various clinically-relevant aspects such as physiotherapy, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. With an aim to foster innovation, education, and knowledge translation, we strive to bridge the gap between research and practical implementation in the field. Our multi-media approach, including web, print, video, and audio resources, along with our active presence on social media, connects a global community of healthcare professionals dedicated to treating active individuals.
