WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Athlete Burnout Measure (ABM) Test

sport burnout

This self-report instrument is used to assess burnout symptoms in sport settings. The Athlete Burnout Measure (ABM) focuses on common dimensions of athlete burnout, including emotional/physical exhaustion, reduced sense of accomplishment, and sport devaluation.

The measure contains 15 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. It is intended to support clinical and performance-related case conceptualization, screening, and progress monitoring when interpreted within the broader context of the athlete’s training demands, stressors, and functioning.

The Athlete Burnout Measure (ABM) was developed by Smith, A. L. Results should be considered adjunctive and are not diagnostic on their own; findings are best integrated with clinical interview data and other relevant information.
