Per me è stato un grande piacere partecipare alla ricerca di Psicologia dello sport con Pietro Trabucchi (che molti conosceranno per i suoi libri divulgativi sulla resilienza) e altri colleghi come Carlo Galimberti e Sara Garofalo.

To date, no studies have proposed specific taxonomies of stressors and coping strategies used to manage them by ultra trail runners in races longer than 200 miles, with existing research focusing on significantly shorter distances an then on challenges that could be of a different nature. The aim of this study was to fill this gap by developing specific taxonomies that would group both the stressors encountered and the coping strategies into distinct conceptual categories. Furthermore, to observe in a real competition if these taxonomies allows the evaluation of the coping strategies used by athletes.
The taxonomies were found to effectively described athletes’ race experiences, revealing context-specific coping strategies likely developed through years of practice.
