The impact of athlete burnout on academic burnout among college athletes: a multiple mediation model based on emotion regulation and sleep.

ABSTRACT:

Background

College athletes often face dual demands from training and academics, increasing their risk of both athletic and academic burnout. However, the transfer mechanism between these two forms of burnout remains underexplored, especially regarding the roles of emotional regulation and sleep.

Results

College athlete burnout significantly predicted academic burnout (β = 0.412, p < 0.001). Both cognitive reappraisal (β = 0.071, p < 0.001) and sleep qual
