RESUMO

The study aimed to investigate stress and recovery in high performance soccer athletes in different circumstances during the beginning of the season. The current field work is characterized as an evaluative, descriptive single-subject design, ex-post-facto. Twelve high performance male soccer athletes from a professional team from Santa Catarina State accredited to the Brazilian Soccer Confederation participated in the investigation. The athletes were intentionally selected by convenience and classified according to Brandt (2008) adapted General Characterization Questionnaire. Data were collected with the following instruments: Recovery-Stress Questionnaire RESTQ-Sports (KELLMANN &KALLUS, 2001); Mood Scale, validated by Rohlfs (2008); Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI, BUYSSE et al. 1989), validated in Brazil (KONRAD, 2005). These methods took place in three different circumstances during the training: A1: Initial evaluation Beginning of competitive season in 2009; A2: Evaluation after three weeks of training and A3: Evaluation after six weeks of training. Data were analyzed using the software SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 13.0, and both descriptive and inferential statistics were obtained for the analysis. Results showed that the athletes are young (17,83 years of age, 0,57), their average height is 179,67 cm (5,56), average weight is 71,83 kg (6,7), and they showed a good self-evaluation of health. In all different circumstances of training, low stress and high recovery levels were seen, with significant differences in the varying fatigue (p=0,004). Mood was found appropriate for athletes considering the training schedule, emphasizing significant differences in tension (p=0,013), fatigue (p=0,016) and mental confusion (p=0,041). The scores for the sleep quality evaluation did not change and remained in a level considered good. Stress and recovery did not correlate with the variables mood and sleep quality in all three circumstances of training, what may suggest that the evaluations might be done separately. The results support the hypothesis that single-subject evaluations are more reliable than group ones when concerning athletes, mostly when considering psychological, performance and health parameters of high performance soccer players during hard training.
