ABSTRACT It has been well documented that stress can negatively impact the mind and body of long-term sufferers. As well, there is a great deal of literature highlighting the prevalence of stress in athletics. Given the connection between stress and well-being, as well as stress and performance, the focus of the current study was to more completely and directly assess prevalence of stress and specific stressors experienced by collegiate student-athletes in the United States. Participants included students-athletes from a variety of sports, academic years and athletic divisions. Male and female athletes (N= 525) completed a stress appraisal and demographic questionnaire. Qualitative analysis of student-athlete responses yielded the following four most consistently cited stressors: (a) injury, (b) big moments/big games, and (c) fitness/conditioning, and (d) playing time/starting. Recommendations for future research and suggestions for student-athlete programing aimed at minimizing stress will be discussed.

学生运动员的压力：美国大学田径运动的一项检查

摘要大量文献证明，压力会对长期患者的身心产生负面影响。同样，有大量文献强调了体育运动中压力的普遍性。考虑到压力与幸福感，压力与表现之间的联系，本研究的重点是更完整，更直接地评估美国大学生运动员所经历的压力和特定压力源的患病率。参加者包括来自各种运动，学年和运动部门的学生运动员。男性和女性运动员（N = 525）完成了压力评估和人口统计学调查表。对学生运动员反应的定性分析得出以下四个最常被引用的压力源：（a）伤害，（b）重大时刻/大型比赛，以及（c）体能/条件，（d）上场时间/开始时间。将讨论未来研究的建议和旨在减少压力的学生运动员编程的建议。
