So the purpose of this study was to compare the rate of burnout among trainers of karate and swimming.
Methods: The research method is a causal-comparative one. The populations of the study were all coaches of swimming and karate in the city of Tabriz. The swim coaches were 85 people and Karate coaches were 50 people and they were assigned randomly and participated in this study. Maslach Burnout Inventory was used to collect information; the mean age of the study subjects among Karate coaches were 32.56 years and among swimming Coaches were 30.71 years. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Analysis of variance was used to display and analysis of data.
Results: The data analysis revealed that the maximum score of Burnout among karate coaches were 95.86 and among Swimming Coaches were 88.21 which is indicating a greater degree of burnout among of karate trainers. Moreover, research findings indicate that the level of emotional exhaustion among karate trainers and the level of individual performance reduction among swimming coaches is significantly higher. But the depersonalization subscale has no significant differences between educators in karate and swimming fields.
