Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ, Raedeke and Smith, 2001) is an instrument that measures burnout in sport, widely spread and used worldwide. In Mexico there is still no study to validate its psychometric properties. Therefore, the objective of this study is to validate Cuestionario de Burnout Deportivo, evaluating reliability, factorial validity and factorial invariance by gender. We evaluated 2612 athletes with spanish version (Balaguer, Castillo, Duda, Quested and Morales, 2011) of Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ). The results show satisfactory levels of reliability, a second-order factor structure is confirmed and factor charges and intercepts are considered invariant between men and women. It is concluded that ABQ is an appropriate instrument for research and interventions in sport of Mexican context.
