| Abstract: |
Objective – This study examines the relationship between perceived stress,
athletic burnout and leisure amongst badminton players. Methodology/Technique
– The research subjects were all first national ranking tournament badminton
players in 2012. The study uses convenience sampling to conduct a
questionnaire survey. 350 questionnaires were distributed, with 288 valid
questionnaires being returned (male 195, female 93). The rate of effectiveness
was 82%. All of the data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistic
and hierarchical regression analysis. Findings – The results show those
badminton players between the ages of 19 and 21 experience higher cognitive
stress. Further, badminton players who are involved in competitions at a
higher level and whom have been training for a longer period of time,
experience a higher athletic burnout. This means that badminton players who
have higher perceived pressure will experience higher levels of burnout.
Novelty – The study highlights that badminton players who participate in
leisure-based activities are able to effectively adjust their perception of
pressure to a "reduced sense of accomplishment" which has an effect on
athletic burnout. Additionally, the study results give rise to variety of
proposed solutions or suggestions for dealing with burnout or stress. |
