Abstract

Mental health and the pathologies that encompass it are widely studied, being considered “the disease of the century”. In high-performance sports it becomes a reality, highlighting stress and anxiety. The objective of this study was to see the level of psychological impact taking into account these two aforementioned disorders and how they interfere with the bodybuilding of athletes from Manaus/AM. For the research, two self-administered questionnaires were carried out, covering psychosocial, behavioral and health aspects. It was observed that all athletes interviewed recognize the direct impact of mental health on their sporting performance, even though the majority value achieving results more than physical, spiritual and mental balance.
