Validez concurrente de la versión española del cuestionario de recuperación-estrés para deportistas (RESTQ-Sport)

Abstract

This study investigated the concurrent validity of the Spanish version of the Recovery-Stress Questionnaire for Athletes (RESTQ-Sport) by comparing it with the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and State-Anxiety scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). A total of 194 athletes (53% males and 47% females) participated in the study. The POMS scales Tension, Depression, Anger, Fatigue and Confusion correlated positively with the stress scales and factors and negatively with the RESTQ-Sport's recovery scales and factors, while the POMS Vigour scale correlated positively with the RESTQ-Sport's recovery scales and factors and negatively with the stress scales and factors. Stateanxiety correlated positively with stress and negatively with the recovery scales and factors. The data obtained confirm the Spanish version of the RESTQ-Sport's concurrent validity.
