During training and competitions, athletes face physical factors, including pain, fatigue and exhaustion, added to psychological factors, including negative vibes and mental pressure. Recovery is a key function; it is a step aimed at restoring athletes’ physical condition to its normal pre-competition state. Essential oils have shown their positive effect in improving sports performance by modulating psychological states, improving alertness and reducing pain, physical and mental fatigue. This study aims to determine the effect of using a mixture of 4 essential oils on training quality, self-confidence, fatigue and pain in athletes of the Moroccan national poomsae team. Other factors were studied: self-esteem, depression, insomnia and back pain. The results showed a significant effect of using Essential oils on all factors studied
