Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to assess burnout-related experiences in sport settings. The Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) is a brief self-report instrument intended to support screening and monitoring of athlete burnout symptoms.
It consists of 15 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Items reflect three commonly assessed domains: emotional and physical exhaustion, reduced sense of accomplishment, and sport devaluation.
Responses can be used to characterize the pattern and relative severity of burnout-related concerns and to inform follow-up assessment or clinical consultation as needed. The Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) is attributed to Smith, A. L.
