Abstract

Objectives: Researchers have recommended that youth athletes limit their practice volume to the number of hours/week that they are old in years. We examined sport perceptions, burnout, anxiety, and depressive symptoms among youth athletes who did and did not report playing more hours/week of organized sports than their age.

Methods: Uninjured athletes aged 13-18 years old completed questionnaires documenting demographics, sport participation volume, health and injury history, depressive symptoms, anxiety, burnout, and sport perceptions during a pre-participation physical examination. We grouped participants as those who reported more hours/week in organized sports than their age (exceeds age/volume recommendation) vs. those who reported equal/less hours/week in organized sports than their age (meets age/volume recommendation).

Results: Of 161 participants, 21% (n = 33) were in the 'exceeds age/volume recommendation' group (age = 15.2 ± 1.3 years; 55% female; 18.7 ± 4.0 hours/week) and 79% (n = 128) were in the 'meets age/volume recommendation' group (age = 15.6 ± 1.2 years; 50% female; 10.2 ± 3.4 hours/week). A higher proportion of the 'exceeds age/volume recommendation' group agreed with the statement 'youth in my sport play too many games before college' than the 'meets age/volume recommendation' group (33% vs. 16%; p = 0.03). After adjusting for the effect of age, sport specialization level, and weight, exceeding age/volume recommendations was associated with the perception that youth in sports play too many games before college (aOR = 3.24; 95% CI = 1.26, 8.29; p = 0.01), while burnout (aOR = 0.99; 95% CI = 0.94, 1.06; p = 0.93), anxiety (aOR = 0.97; 95% CI = 0.84, 1.11; p = 0.65), and depressive symptoms (aOR = 0.90; 95% CI = 0.74, 1.10; p = 0.30) were not significantly related.

Conclusion: Athletes who spend more hours in sport than their age appear to perceive their competition load during youth sports to be excessive. Coaches and providers should monitor athlete's training hours and perceptions of competition load to offer support and potentially prevent burnout development.

青少年运动员的训练量建议和心理社会结果。

目标：研究人员建议青少年运动员将练习量限制在他们几岁时每周的小时数。我们调查了年轻运动员的运动认知、倦怠、焦虑和抑郁症状，这些运动员每周参加有组织运动的时间比他们的年龄多，也没有。方法：13-18岁的未接种疫苗的运动员在参加前体检时完成问卷调查，记录人口统计、运动参与量、健康和受伤史、抑郁症状、焦虑、倦怠和运动认知。我们将参与者分组为那些报告每周参加有组织运动的小时数超过其年龄（超过年龄/数量建议）的人，与那些报告每周参与有组织运动小时数等于/少于其年龄（符合年龄/数量推荐）的人。结果：161名参与者中，21%（n=33）属于“超过年龄/推荐量”组（年龄=15.2±1.3岁；55%为女性；18.7±4.0小时/周），79%（n=128）属于“符合年龄/推荐数量”组（年纪=15.6±1.2岁；50%为女性；10.2±3.4小时/周在调整了年龄、运动专业化水平和体重的影响后，超过年龄/运动量推荐与年轻人在大学前玩太多游戏的看法有关（aOR=3.24；95%CI=1.26，8.29；p=0.01），而倦怠（aOR=0.99；95%CI=0.941.06；p=0.93）、焦虑（aOR0.97；95%CI=0.841.11；p=0.65）和抑郁症状（aOR0.90；95%CI=0.741.10；p=0.30）没有显著相关性。结论：那些在体育运动中花费的时间比他们的年龄多的运动员似乎认为他们在青少年运动中的比赛负荷过大。教练和提供者应监测运动员的训练时间和对比赛负荷的看法，以提供支持，并可能防止倦怠的发展。

期刊介绍： The Physician and Sportsmedicine is a peer-reviewed, clinically oriented publication for primary care physicians. We examine the latest drug discoveries to advance treatment and recovery, and take into account the medical aspects of exercise therapy for a given condition. We cover the latest primary care-focused treatments serving the needs of our active patient population, and assess the limits these treatments govern in stabilization and recovery. The Physician and Sportsmedicine is a peer-to-peer method of communicating the latest research to aid primary care physicians’ advancement in methods of care and treatment. We routinely cover such topics as: managing chronic disease, surgical techniques in preventing and managing injuries, the latest advancements in treatments for helping patients lose weight, and related exercise and nutrition topics that can impact the patient during recovery and modification.
