Those responsible for elite and youth athletes are increasingly aware of the need to balance the quest for superior performance with the need to protect the physical and psychological wellbeing of athletes. As a result, regular assessment of risks to mental health is a common feature in sports organisations. In the present study, the Brazil Mood Scale (BRAMS) was administered to 898 athletes (387 female, 511 male, age range: 12-44 years) at a leading sports club in Rio de Janeiro using either "past week" or "right now" response timeframes. Using seeded k-means cluster analysis, six distinct mood profile clusters were identified, referred to as the iceberg, surface, submerged, shark fin, inverse iceberg, and inverse Everest profiles. The latter three profiles, which are associated with varying degrees of increased risk to mental health, were reported by 238 athletes (26.5%). The prevalence of these three mood clusters varied according to the response timeframe (past week > right now) and the sex of the athletes (female > male). The prevalence of the iceberg profile varied by athlete sex (male > female), and age (12-17 years > 18+ years). Findings supported use of the BRAMS as a screening tool for the risk of psychological issues among athletes in Brazilian sports organisations.
负责精英运动员和青少年运动员事务的人员越来越意识到，需要在追求卓越成绩与保护运动员身心健康之间取得平衡。因此，定期评估心理健康风险已成为体育组织的一项常见工作。在本研究中，研究人员在里约热内卢一家顶尖体育俱乐部，采用“过去一周”或“此刻”的时间框架，对898名运动员（387名女性，511名男性，年龄范围：12至44岁）进行了巴西情绪量表（BRAMS）测试。通过种子k均值聚类分析，确定了六个不同的情绪特征聚类，分别称为冰山型、表面型、潜伏型、鲨鱼鳍型、逆冰山型和逆珠穆朗玛峰型。后三种类型与不同程度的心理健康风险增加相关，共有238名运动员（26.5%）呈现这些类型。这三种情绪聚类的患病率因回答时间框架（过去一周>此刻）和运动员性别（女性>男性）而异。冰山型的患病率因运动员性别（男性>女性）和年龄（12至17岁>18岁及以上）而有所不同。研究结果支持将BRAMS用作巴西体育组织中运动员心理问题风险的筛查工具。
