Previous issue date: 2010-02-05 / The objective of the present study was to assess if competitive activity represents a source of stress for sportsmen in the armed forces, based on a survey of stress symptoms. The study included the participation of 162 male military personnel in the 17-20 age range, divided into two groups: Athletes in the military (GMA) and non-athletes in the military (GM), each consisting of 81 participants. In order to ascertain the level of stress, the Stress Symptoms Inventory (ISSL) was used along with a questionnaire that was different for each group, consisting of open-ended questions. It was noted that 58.02% of the GM participants and 80.25% of GMA athletes did not present symptoms of stress. The main factors which could have contributed to this outcome were a balanced diet of food which they receive in the Army Cadet Preparatory School (EsPCEx), the making of the career decision, the stability that this career affords and the practice of physical activity. However, the level of military personnel with symptoms of stress in the GM group is 41.98%, and 38.28% of these are in the resistance phase. Although the percentage of participants with stress is high, when compared with samples from other studies, it is found that the index recorded is below that observed in young adults. In comparison with the GMA group, the index of stress was even lower. It may be concluded that sporting activity is a factor that lessens stress in young military personnel. / A presente pesquisa analisou se a atividade competitiva representa uma fonte de stress para desportistas militares, tendo como base o levantamento de sintomas de stress. Participaram dessa pesquisa 162 militares do sexo masculino, na faixa et?ria de 17 a 20 anos, divididos em grupos de militares atletas (GMA) e militares n?o atletas (GM), com 81 participantes cada um. Para a verifica??o do stress, foi utilizado o Invent?rio de Sintomas de Stress (ISSL) e um question?rio diferenciado para cada grupo com perguntas abertas. Observou-se que 58,02% dos participantes do GM e 80,25% dos atletas do GMA n?o apresentavam sintomas de stress. Os principais fatores que poderiam contribuir para esse resultado ? a alimenta??o equilibrada que recebem na EsPCEx, a tomada de decis?o sobre a carreira, a estabilidade que ela proporciona e a pr?tica de atividade f?sica. Por?m, o n?vel de militares com sintomas de stress no GM foi de 41,98%, sendo 38,28% desses estavam na fase de resist?ncia. Embora este percentual de participantes com stress seja elevado, quando comparado com amostras de outros estudos, verifica-se que o ?ndice registrado est? abaixo do observado em jovens adultos. Com rela??o ao GMA, o ?ndice de stress foi ainda mais baixo. Conclui-se que a atividade desportista ? um fator atenuante de stress em jovens militares.
