Researchers want to understand how common mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and eating disorders are among endurance athletes. By completing several short screening questionnaires, you'll help them learn whether endurance athletes experience these issues at different rates than other people, and what factors might be connected to mental health struggles in this community.
Endurance athletes often push their bodies to extreme limits, but we don't have good information about how their mental health is affected. This study aims to fill that gap by gathering information directly from athletes about their experiences with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, substance use, eating concerns, and other mental health issues.

You will complete a series of questionnaires — either online or on paper — that ask about your mental health, mood, anxiety, sleep quality, substance use, eating habits, exercise routines, and personal background (age, gender, training history). The questionnaires use well-established screening tools that typically take 20–45 minutes to complete. Your responses will be kept confidential and used only to help researchers understand mental health trends in endurance athletes.
