Diagnosis personality factors and psychological skills relevant for peek performance in sports
- achievment moive
- self regulation/volition
- action/state orientation
Consequences of underrecovery in sports
- depression
- overtraining
(performance stagnates or declines)
Overtraining prevention
- elimination of all factors which increase the likelihood of overtraining

- early detection of overtraining through diagnostic tools
What does the RESTQ-SPORTstand for?
RE - recovery
ST - stress
Q - Questionnaire
SPORT - for athletes
The are three components of the basic training
- Relaxation skills
