Abstract

The objective of this article is to present the results of a study on the impact of age and sex on the repertory of coping used by Tunisian athletes in collective sport. In this context, we used the Arabic version of the inventory of sports adaptation strategies (Hajji et al., 2016) for 419 athletes, including 278 men and 141 women with an average age of 19.00 years (SD = 5.52).

Highlights

  • Understanding how the athlete adopts coping strategies in the context of collective sport is a major issue, in terms of preventing risks to well-being, and in terms of optimizing performance

  • This allows us to perform the MANOVA multiple variance analysis to examine the effect of age and sex on the coping repertoire of our participants see (Tables 2 & 3) shows the correlations between the 10 coping strategies used by our participants

  • This study, which examines the repertory of contextual coping used by Tunisian athletes to collective sport, confirms that age and gender have an influence on adaptation strategies
