Book excerpt: Provides athletic specialists, trainers, and coaches with resources for monitoring athletes to avoid over-training, burnout, and decreased performance. The questionnaire is based on the hypothesis that an accumulation of stress in different areas of life, with insufficient opportunity for recovery, leads to a compromised psychophysical state. Stress states are based on 12 nonspecific and seven sports-specific scales. The questionnaire package offers tools to measure and track an athlete's recovery, including two complete questionnaires (72- and 56-item forms), manual scoring keys, profile sheets, and a user manual that describes questionnaire development and data and profile interpretation.c.
