Resumo.
ABSTRACT This study aimed at investigating the association among resilience, stress and coping strategies of MMA athletes. 50 male MMA athletes with a mean age of 25,0±4,80 years participated in the study. A socio-demographic inquiry, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory, and the Recovery-Stress Questionnaire for Athletes (RESTQ-76) were used as instruments. The descriptive statistics, the Chi-Square test in one factor and 2x2, Fisher’s exact test, and the binary logistic regression (p<0,05) were used for data analysis. The stress levels were low, and the athletes showed high recovery levels considering the subscales referred to as ‘self-efficacy’ (p=0.048) and ‘self-regulation’ (p=0.048). Resilient athletes are more likely to use strategies of ‘adversity confrontation’ (OR=6.47), ‘concentration’ (OR=11.67), and ‘coachability’ (OR=5.49). In conclusion, the resilient athletes have lower stress levels because they concentratedly face the conflicts that arise from the sport environment, in addition to learn with their training.
