Existing empirical studies suggest that participation in sports is a possible protective factor against excessive consumption of alcohol and other substances, while other studies suggest that participation in sports, and especially participation in team sports, is associated with increased rates of risky alcohol consumption. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of unhealthy and hazardous alcohol use among young athletes and the presence of depressive symptoms. We included 267 young athletes in the study, 147 men, 120 women, aged 18 to 21 years. We used two measurement instruments. We found that younger athletes reported significantly more risky drinking patterns and depressive symptoms than older athletes. A statistically significant difference was found between genders. Young female athletes reported more depressive symptoms. A relationship was found between risky drinking and age, and between levels of depressive symptoms and postponement of important events. It is extremely important to recognize unhealthy and hazardous alcohol use in young athletes. It is important to have an appropriate professional team trained in recognizing and helping athletes with mental health problemsUživanje alkohola med mladimi je pomemben javnozdravstveni problem, čeprav primanjkuje študij, ki bi preučevale to vprašanje med mladimi športniki. Opravljene empirične študije poudarjajo udejstvovanje v športu kot možni zaščitni dejavnik proti prekomerni uporabi alkohola in drugih snovi, druge raziskave pa kažejo, da je udejstvovanje v športu in zlasti sodelovanje v ekipnih športih povezano s povečanimi stopnjami nevarnega pitja alkohola. Namen študije je bil raziskati pojavnost nezdravega in nevarnega uživanja alkohola med mladimi športniki in prisotnost depresivne simptomatike. V raziskavo smo vključili 267 mladih športnikov, 147 moških in 120 žensk, starih od 18 do 21 let. Uporabili smo dva merska instrumenta. Ugotovili smo, da mlajši športniki poročajo o pomembno bolj tveganih vzorcih pitja in depresivnih simptomih kot starejši. Med spoloma se je pokazala statistično pomembna razlika. Mlade športnice poročajo o višji depresivni simptomatiki. Med tveganimi vzorci pitja alkohola in starostjo se je pokazala povezava ter tudi med višino depresivne simptomatike in zamujanjem pomembnih dogodkov. Izjemnega pomena je prepoznavanje nezdravega in nevarnega uživanja alkohola pri mladih športnikih. Pomembno je imeti ustrezen strokovni tim, ki bo usposobljen za prepoznavanje težav v duševnem zdravju športnikov in pomoč pri njihTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za šport
