The present study explored the types of stressors faced by rhythmic gymnastics athletes, their parents, and coaches. Semi-structured interviews with 12 participants-four gymnasts, five coaches, and three parents-were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis in a theory-driven framework. The categorizations of sport-related stressors for the parents, coaches, and gymnasts were based on existing theories. The results showed that both the gymnasts and the coaches predominantly noted mastery-avoidance goals in terms of performance, while the interviews with parents mostly indicated performance-avoidance goals. All three groups of participants consistently reported a detrimental atmosphere in rhythmic gymnastics. For instance, they emphasized the stress related to inadequate communication between the concerned parties. Moreover, all parties believed that having a lean body was linked to success in the competitive world of rhythmic gymnastics. The present study provides insight into some of the potential major stressors and the related subjective experiences affecting athletes socializing in the same sporting environment.
本研究探讨了艺术体操运动员、他们的父母和教练所面临的压力源类型。在理论驱动的框架下，采用反思性主题分析法对与12名参与者（4名体操运动员、5名教练和3名家长）进行的半结构化访谈进行了分析。针对家长、教练和体操运动员的与运动相关压力源的分类是基于现有理论的。结果表明，体操运动员和教练在表现方面主要关注掌握-回避目标，而对家长的访谈大多表明是表现-回避目标。所有三组参与者都一致报告称艺术体操氛围不利。例如，他们强调了相关方之间沟通不足所带来的压力。此外，所有各方都认为拥有苗条身材与艺术体操竞争世界中的成功有关。本研究深入了解了一些潜在的主要压力源以及影响在同一运动环境中社交的运动员的相关主观体验。
