An exploration of the antecedents and mechanisms causing athletes' stress and twisties symptom.

Research Background: Twisties symptoms have attracted the world's attention in the sports field since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Aim: However, studies on the symptoms and causes, inducing mechanisms, and relationships between DP/DR (Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder) and anxiety and depression for athletes have been sparse for both the general population and athletes. The literature on the twisties issue of athletes is quite scarce in the past.
