Validez concurrente de la versión española del cuestionario de recuperación-estrés para deportistas (REST-SPORT) / Concurrent validity of the spanish version of the recovery-stress questionnaire for athletes (RESTQ-SPORT)

El objeto del presente estudio hasido investigar la validez concurrente de la versión española del Cuestionario de Recuperación-Estrés para Deportistas(RESTQ-Sport), mediante la comparación con el Perfil de los Estados de Ánimo (POMS) y la escala de Ansiedad-Estadodel Inventario de Ansiedad Estado/Rasgo (STAI). Participaron 194 deportistas (53% varones, y 47% mujeres). Las escalasTensión, Depresión, Cólera, Fatiga y Confusión del POMS mostraron correlaciones positivas con las escalas y factores deestrés y correlaciones negativas con las escalas y factores de recuperación del RESTQ-Sport. La escala de Vigor del POMScorrelacionó positivamente con las escalas y factores de recuperación y negativamente con las escalas y factores de estrés delRESTQ-Sport. La ansiedad-estado correlacionó de forma positiva con las escalas de estrés y de forma negativa con lasescalas de recuperación. Los datos obtenidos confirman la validez concurrente de la adaptación española del RESTQ-Sport (AU)

Development of a Spanish version of the Participation Motivation Inventory for young competitive swimmers.

The present study examined the validity of a Spanish version of the Participation Motivation Inventory, modified for swimming by Gould, Feltz, and Weiss in 1985, and investigated whether young swimmers differing in sex and age vary in their objectives for participation. Swimmers (204 boys and 224 girls, ranging in age from 8 to 22 years) were administered the inventory. Factor analysis with varimax rotation identified seven factors fairly consistent with previous research. Differences were found across age and sex. Females placed greater emphasis than males on Friendship and Fun and indicated lower importance rating to Status. Younger children (8-10 years) rated Fun/Friendship, Competition/Skills, Significant Others, and Status significantly higher in importance than did the other age groups.
