The study was designed to analyze benefits of the health self-rating process correction model to prevent reactive asthenia in 13-15 year-old athletes, with 19 athletes of this age group (including 9 track and field athletes and 10 biathletes) sampled for the study. The sample has been tested for 3 months by the reactive asthenia prevention model including 3 stages. The sample progress was rated by the Wilcoxon non-parametric T-criterion for matched pairs. The study data was indicative of the model benefits as verified by the sample progress in determination, stamina and failure internality test rates; in the must-win mindsets and individual responsibility for competitive failures. The mental progress secured by the model was also found beneficial for the professional athletic mental balance and tolerance to the mental and somatic stressors. The study data and analyses showed benefits of the reactive asthenia prevention model in many aspects including the junior athletes’ competitive performance stability and health self-rating process. The model made it possible to secure progress in wellbeing, stamina, competitive success internality and fatigue tolerance rates.

Keywords: health self-rating, reactive asthenia, fatigue, stamina, locus of control.
