The aim of this study was to identify and classify stress in rhythmic gymnastics judges. Ten Brazilian judges of rhythmic gymnastics, of international level, were interviewed, with the average age of 37,6 ± 6,6 years old. An interview transcription was made and later, some qualitative analysis was taken place, through the use of Meaning Units (MUs). These MUs were classifi ed in three categories: social, biological and psychological stress. Besides the diffi culty in conciliating social life and professional life, the relationship with other judges, technical committee and audience are important sources of social stress to the interviewees. Relating to biological stress, judges complained about the long duration of competitions. They often present some sort of physical discomfort during their labor action. The psychological stress, to which they are under influence, has relation to the emotional distress of giving scores to the performance of athletes, in addition to the high level of the competitions they work in and the need to interpret the code of points. It is possible to conclude that the stress of Brazilian judges of rhythmic, from specifi c factors, they interact and relate between themselves to create stress in these professionals.
