A COMPARISON OF DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, AND STRESS AMONG RUGBY PLAYERS AT THE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LEVEL
The study aimed to compare depression, anxiety, and stress levels among national and international rugby players. India undertook this study, with a focus on national and international rugby players. At LPU, there are sixty (60) subjects. Thirty national-level players, thirty international-level players, and rugby players (18–25 years old) were selected. Stress, anxiety, and depression were the selected factors. An independent t-test analysis was performed on the gathered data in order to assess the variations in stress, anxiety, and depression between national and international rugby players. A significance threshold of 0.05 was used. The scores of the participants were calculated using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (dass). The 42-question that test is intended to gauge the negative emotional moods of despair, anxiety, and stress. Three self-report ratings are included. Since the calculated values of -.143, -0.193, and -2.132 were less than the table value of 2.048 at the 0.05 level of significance, there was no noticeable difference in depression, anxiety, or stress between rugby players competing at the national and international levels. The same level of expertise, physical state, mental aptitude, emotional stability, and length of training might all be relevant.
