Adolescent soccer players experience many stressors and negative stress-related outcomes. Short-term stress-prevention programs are frequently implemented in youth sports, although there is limited evidence of their usefulness and effectiveness. Thus, the present study evaluated the usefulness and effectiveness of a stress-prevention workshop for adolescent soccer players. Ninety-two soccer players (age: M = 15.5 years, SD = 1.43; 31.5% female) were randomly allocated to either an intervention group or an intervention control group. To evaluate effectiveness, stress, coping, and depression were assessed at baseline (t1) and 4 weeks postworkshop (t2). To investigate usefulness, the perceived quality of results was assessed at t2. No intervention effects on stress, coping, and depression emerged, but both groups exhibited high values regarding perceived quality of results. Although one workshop might not be enough to modify stress-related parameters, it may be useful for adolescent soccer players and pave the way for long-term interventions.

青少年足球运动员会遇到许多压力源和与压力相关的负面结果。短期预防压力计划经常在青年体育活动中实施，尽管其有效性和有效性的证据有限。因此，本研究评估了预防压力工作坊对青少年足球运动员的有用性和有效性。九十二名足球运动员（年龄：M  = 15.5岁，SD = 1.43; 31.5％的女性）随机分配到干预组或干预对照组。为了评估有效性，在基线（t1）和工作后4周（t2）评估了压力，应对和抑郁。为了调查有用性，在t2评估了感知的结果质量。没有出现对压力，应对和抑郁的干预效果，但是两组在感知结果质量方面均显示出很高的价值。尽管一个工作坊可能不足以修改与压力相关的参数，但对于青少年足球运动员可能有用，并为长期干预铺平了道路。
