Stress Management: from Sports Science to People Management
Thiago Teixeira Guimarães
Abstract
The deterioration of physical and mental performance in physical, work, or personal activities is the main outcome and is a consensual factor for finding accumulated stress, chronic fatigue, overtraining, or burnout syndrome, for example. However, energy depletion and partial impairment of performance can be managed and lead to overcompensation of physiological adaptations. In this context, it is essential to monitor the effect of chronic stress, but there is no consensus on which tools to use due to inaccuracies, difficult interpretations, and inconclusions. Therefore, the objective of this review is to share conceptual information about stress, its role in the development of chronic fatigue, pointing out limitations, gaps and future perspectives regarding monitoring possibilities. For the construction of arguments and presentation of possible solutions, examples from exercise and sport sciences were used. It is expected that the understood knowledge can guide actions in different areas of professional activity, favoring the management of human resources. .
