Burnout is a significant concern for student-athletes, affecting both their academic and athletic performance. This study examined the developmental dynamics of school and sport burnout among Finnish student-athletes across upper secondary school and into early adulthood. Using a structural equation modeling framework with the Cholesky decomposition method, we found that higher levels of school burnout at the beginning of upper secondary school predicted higher levels of sport burnout at later time points. School burnout in the final year of upper secondary school was found to predict higher sport burnout in early adulthood. Although no differences were observed in the development of burnout between sexes or sport types, females experienced consistently higher levels of sport burnout than males, and individual sports athletes reported more burnout than those in team sports during their final year. Early interventions targeting school burnout are essential to reducing sport burnout in transitioning student-athletes.
职业倦怠是学生运动员面临的一个重大问题，会影响他们的学业和运动成绩。本研究调查了芬兰学生运动员从高中到成年早期学校倦怠和运动倦怠的发展动态。使用带有Cholesky分解法的结构方程建模框架，我们发现高中开始时较高水平的学校倦怠预示着后期较高水平的运动倦怠。研究发现，高中最后一年的学校倦怠预示着成年早期较高的运动倦怠。尽管在倦怠发展方面未观察到性别或运动类型之间的差异，但女性的运动倦怠水平始终高于男性，并且在最后一年，个人项目运动员比团队项目运动员报告的倦怠更多。针对学校倦怠的早期干预对于减少转型期学生运动员的运动倦怠至关重要。
