    (Murcia: Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Murcia, 2018) Bicalho, C. C. F.; Costa, V. T.
    Abstract: This systematic review analyzes studies on burnout in elite athle- tes and assesses the association between burnout and other psychological constructs for this group. The analysis of the studies is a descriptive se- miquantitative review. The following databases were searched for studies published up to March 2016: DialNet, Lilacs, Portal CAPES, PsycNet, PubMed/Medline, Redalyc, SciELO, Scopus, SportDiscus, and Web of Science. The following descriptors were used: burnout, athletes, and elite (languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish). Seventy-two articles were in- cluded in this review. The results indicate a negative correlation between burnout and the self-determined motivation index, intrinsic motivation, identified regulation, autonomy, competence, relatedness, self-oriented perfectionism, parental expectations, personal standards, and harmonious passion. In addition, positive correlations were indicated between burnout and amotivation, socially prescribed perfectionism, and concern over mis- takes. In conclusion, burnout in elite athletes is a variable different associa- ted with various psychological constructs that are protective or catalyzing of burnout in this population.
