This study aims to investigate the prevalence of burnout syndrome in athletes and their relation with different social and sporting variables. They have implemented the two instruments available in Spain for measuring burnout in athletes: IBD-R and the Spanish version of ABQ in a sample of 646 athletes with an average age of 19.73 years. The results show a prevalence of 4.2% for IBD-R and 3.3% for the ABQ and statistically significant differences for sex, presenting the smaller male self-fulfillment than women; and competitive, presenting higher prevalence levels overall and subscale physical/emotional exhaustion at the national level as home. These data are similar to those found in previous investigations, both prevalence and differences according social and sporting variables.

Keywords : burnout prevalence; athletes; sport and social variables; ABQ; IBD-R.
