An athlete does not only require to be fit physically but also requires to be fit psychologically for their successful performance in
sports activities. Hence, it is essential to understand the psychological risk factors which contribute to sport injuries in athletes. For
this review, literature search in the international databases of PubMed, MEDLINE and Google Scholar was done by using following
keywords: ‘sports injury’, ‘stress’, ‘anxiety’, ‘athletic injury’, ‘psychology’, ‘predictors’ and ‘athletes’. The studies published from
1992 to March 2020 and in the English language were included in this review. Of 120 articles obtained by the end of this search
process, 18 full text articles were finally selected. Most of the study designs were cross-sectional studies or surveys, cohort studies
and descriptive studies. The results indicated that stress and anxiety are two notable psychological variables which are associated
with predicting injury in different sports and found to be significant with the incidence of sports injuries among athletes of different
sports. It was found that stress and anxiety can influence the risk of injuries, injury frequency, and injury severity in athletes. |
