Stress resistance of student-athletes in crisis conditions of wartime

War is a complex and unpredictable situation that significantly affects the psychological state of young students. Increasing stress resistance can help them cope more effectively with war-related stress. The issue of human behavior in life situations has become increasingly relevant due to the rapid pace of modern life and information overload. To adapt and successfully navigate these challenges, individuals must develop problem-solving skills and acquire traits that enable them to counteract stress. This highlights the need to study stress resistance as a psychological phenomenon. This article analyzes key methodological approaches of foreign and domestic scholars to the stress resistance of athletes and its role in shaping behavioral strategies in difficult situations. It examines the psychological aspects of stress in student youth during wartime, identifying socio-psychological factors that influence coping strategies. Additionally, the study presents results from the psychodiagnostic phase, highlighting the manifestation of stress and ways to enhance resilience. The study aims to determine the stress resistance of student athletes in wartime and assess their adaptation to stress factors. Research methods included theoretical analysis of literature and best practices. The study of stress resistance under martial law focused on analyzing athletes' ability to withstand external stressors and maintain psychological stability. Findings indicate that athletes employ a diverse range of coping strategies to manage stress. Furthermore, assessments of extraversion, introversion, and neuroticism levels allow for predicting stress tolerance and identifying individuals who require additional support. The study also provides insights into athletes' subjective evaluations of their ability to remain balanced and resilient under extreme conditions. These findings contribute to the development of effective strategies for enhancing stress resistance among young students, particularly those facing the psychological burdens of war.
