Abstract
The aim of the study was to empirically investigate the level of work-life balance in sportsmen (both amateurs and professionals) by the psychological scale with the main criteria: absence of the load balance; work time and content planning; professional tasks complexity; social intercourse. The results have shown, that the work-life balance of sportsmen has been considered to be average. The load balance has gained the lowest scores, the social intercourse indicator is most balanced and gets increased with the persons’ age. Gender differences can be observed only regarding the issues of training camp and away games or competitions participation, where male sportsmen are more actively engaged. There are a lot of possible individual strategies: focused, “resource – refusal”, adaptive. Adaptive strategies include compensatory and segmentation elements and effectively contributes to the work-life balance achievement in sportsmen.
