Nutrition label

75% Informative

Researchers based their study on Sweden ’s two highest hockey divisions for men and women.

A total of 648 players, 180 of them women, completed an online questionnaire.

The focus of the questions was on alcohol consumption, mental health and concussion history.

For female hockey players, the prevalence of depression/anxiety symptoms was comparable to that of the average Swedish woman.

Burnout was far more common: over 19 per cent of the women reported living with clinical symptoms of burnout almost double the rate among Swedish women on average.
