Stress-recovery factor in Division of Honour Wheelchair Basketball League
Abstract
The study investigates stress and recovery levels in wheelchair basketball (BSR) players who participated in the 2023 Copa del Rey, analyzing how these factors affect their performance. The sample included 38 mixed-gender players from the Spanish Division of Honor League. The RESTQ-Sport questionnaire was used to evaluate stress and recovery across various dimensions related to both sports and personal life.The results indicated that stress levels among the players were generally low, while recovery levels were high. No significant differences were found between men and women, nor between players with more or less experience in the competition, although more experienced players tended to recover better. The study highlights the importance of maintaining a balance between stress and recovery to avoid overtraining and maximize performance. The research suggests that most BSR players are mentally prepared for competition and employ effective recovery strategies. However, it emphasizes the need for more specific psychological training to further improve stress management and recovery, optimizing sports performance within this group.
