Identification of Sports Athletes Psychological Stress Based on K-Means Optimized Hierarchical Clustering

In order to solve the problem, the psychological identification of athletes in professional competition pressure is difficult. This paper first analyzes the sources of athletes' psychological pressure based on the hierarchical clustering method, and then divides the weights of the sources of psychological pressure, quantificationally scores them and constructs an identification model of athletes' psychological pressure. Then, the clustering process is optimized based on the K-Means algorithm, and its effectiveness is verified. Finally, the psychological stress of 10 players in a football club was analyzed. The results show that the model effectively and reasonably reflects the influence of pressure sources on the athletes' competitive state during the competition, which provides a basis for the decision-making of relief about athletes' stress.
