%X PAUL, M.; KHANNA, N.; SANDHU, J. S. Psychomotor performance as an indicator of training distress among athletes. Brazilian Journal of Biomotricity, v. 5, n. 3, p. 175-185, 2011. The purpose of this study is to compare and investigate the relationship between the training logs, Mental and Physical State Scales (MAPSS), Athletic Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ), CSAI-2 and the eye hand coordination as assessed by the Double Labyrinthine Test on Vienna Test System (VTS). Total of 100 athletes (65 males, 35 females) were grouped in three risk groups (high risk group, moderate risk group and low risk group) according to MAPSS scores. One way ANOVA analysis indicated a significant intergroup difference among the three groups forall the parameters at a significance level of p < 0.001. Pearson product moment analysed correlations between various parameters. The study concludes that as the training distress and training load amongathletes¡¯ increases, the burnout risk and anxiety level increases, however the self confidence level reduces which proves to be detrimental to the psychomotor performance as measured by eye hand coordination test.
