Abstract :This study examines the relationship between athlete mental health continuity and psychological adjustment. The Psychological Adjustment and Athlete Mental Health Continuity scales were employed, and a total of 400 participants, comprising 147 females and 253 males, volunteered. The factor structures of the scales were tested using IBM AMOS 24, and the study\'s hypothesis was examined using IBM SPSS 24. The effect sizes of independent variables on dependent variables were assessed using \"Cohen\'s d\". The results of Pearson correlation analysis indicate a positive and statistically significant relationship between psychological adjustment and athlete mental health continuity (r = .209, p < .01). This finding suggests that an increase in psychological adjustment is associated with an increase in athlete mental health continuity. Consequently, it can be stated that psychological adjustment positively contributes to individuals\' mental health continuity. This finding underscores the significance of regular exercise in psychological resilience and is consistent with the results of similar studies in the literature.
