Abstract
To satisfy the need for a reliable, valid, and time-efficient instrument to measure recovery and stress, the Acute Recovery and Stress Scale (ARSS) and the Short Recovery and Stress Scale (SRSS) were developed. The aim of the present study is to measure the reliability and validity of both instruments in Dutch. A total of 82 Dutch and Flemish athletes filled out the questionnaires from a variety of individual and team sports. The Dutch versions showed good internal consistency for both the ARSS (α = .78 - .83) and SRSS (α = .78), and a satisfactory model fit was found for six out of eight subscales of the ARSS. A poor fit was found for the subscales Muscular Stress and Lack of Activation. For the ARSS, the item-total correlations ranged between .54 and .89, which reflects an acceptable construct validity, and which means the subscales of the questionnaire can be used independently. Finally, for both recovery and stress, a positive relationship was found with the total rate of recovery, reflecting satisfactory criterion validity. In addition, a low correlation was found between RPE and the stress dimension of the ARSS and SRSS. Taken together, these first insights suggest that the ARSS and SRSS are reliable and valid tools to use in a sport setting. However, further research is needed with the use of repeated measures for further validation and usage in practical settings.
