This situation is aggravated by the fierce competition in the sports arena, which requires the manifestation of motor abilities at the level of the limit of human capabilities, provoking a constant stressful atmosphere and placing increased demands on the personal and professional qualities of modern athletes. The scientific article discusses the dependence of personal characteristics and features of the manifestation of post-traumatic stress disorders in professional athletes; sports competitions have a strong impact on the emotional status of an athlete. The main stress factor in the sports activity of an athlete is considered to be traumatization, i.e. getting physical and psychological injuries, which affects not only the sports career, but also leads to serious post-traumatic disorders. We assume that in the body of a professional athlete who is in a stressful environment for a long time (training, competitions), psychosomatic reactions occur that cause post-traumatic stress disorder, and also that the features of the course of this disorder depend on the personal characteristics of athletes. Post-traumatic stress disorder is a severe mental condition that occurs as a result of single or repeated events that have a super — powerful negative impact on the individual's psyche.
