Mental health in performance sport

On a broad research project supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), the SFISM is to investigate what influences the mental health of Switzerland’s competitive athletes and how it can be improved. Originally entitled “Understanding and promoting mental health of competitive athletes”, the project in the field of applied psychology will begin in 2022, run for three years and comprise six studies. It will help the SFISM to build expertise around mental health in performance sport.
