In Study 1, using linear mixed model and regression analyses on N = 239 observations from 222 elite U.S. college swimmers, we found empirical support only for the social indispensability hypothesis. Study 2, a survey among N = 46 German national team swimmers, substantiated the results, because the athletes most often mentioned processes related to social indispensability as motivating them.

This study aimed to address these limitations by tracking burnout in adult athletes at 6 timepoints over a 21-month period for the first time. Data from 207 Gaelic games athletes were included in latent growth analysis to compare burnout trajectories of increasing complexity. A linear model best described all burnout symptoms.

Although a significant number of fixations were observed on the offside line, the highest viewing time corresponded to the ball carrier. The gaze behavior indicated a high distribution of fixations, as evidenced by high stationary gaze entropy (>90%). The assistant referees also distinguished offside from onside positions above chance. However, they displayed nonprolonged eQE on the offside line.
