Hypothesis-generating for athlete burnout prevention; leaves open empirical testing of the proposed cognitive-affective model.

To establish a comprehensive conceptual framework for athletic burnout by integrating cognitive-affective stress theory and social exchange theory.
Synthesized theoretical constructs from cognitive-affective stress models and Thibaut and Kelley's social exchange theory.
Integrated empirical literature on burnout causes and outcomes from nonathletic domains to formulate hypotheses for sport environments.
Characterized athletic burnout across four interacting components: situational demands, cognitive appraisal, physiological responses, and coping behaviors.
Identified critical methodological priorities, including the operational definition of burnout, assessment of moderator variables, and the need for epidemiological tracking in sports.
