Psychological Responses Prior To A Strenuous Task Involving An Injured Joint, Ashley K. Balles, Stacey A. Gaines, Ryan Fiddler, Christopher M. Hearon
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Injuries are an inherent risk of sport participation. Roughly 68% of athletes experience an athletic injury during their college career, with over half being injuries to the lower extremity (Hootman, Dick & Agel, 2007). While much attention has been given to the physical effects of an injury, the psychological ramifications can also affect an athlete’s recovery from injury. According to Quinn & Fallon (2008), an athlete can physically recover from an injury however they may not attain a complete psychological recovery. An athlete’s performance can be affected negatively if they return to sport participation without recovering psychologically from their injury, …
