Abstract des Autors

82 (74 male and 8 female) enduranced trained leisure time athletes and their partners assessed by a questionnaire changes in their well-being since active engagement in running, cycle racing or triathlon. In the athlete's opinion positive changes in their well-being prevailed, whereas the majority of their partners felt their well-being unchanged. The majority of the couples assessed their partnership unchanged, assessments of improvements prevail over assessments of deteriorations. Impairments of the partnership were more frequently assessed by partners than by athletes. The kind of endurance training, the standard of performance, the begin of the endurance training and the athlete's sex don't influence significanlty the assessed changes of the well-being in the partnership.
