Sport injuries are defined as injuries that occur during a
sports event. In recent years, the researchers have become
increasingly concerned with the effect of sports injury to the
mental health of an athlete. In the book Essential of Athletic
Training by Daniel D. Arnheim, sports injury has become a major
stressor for athletes. According to Pearsall (Essential of
Athletic Training p. 75), athletefight-or-flight body and either
permanent or temporary physical restrictions. Beyond the
physical effects, getting injured can affect mental health,
whether you're an athlete, a casual exerciser, or just an active
person. "An injury is a realization of the fact that youre
physically recovered. When the injury is more serious and
requires surgery it can quickly become a distressing setback, an
event often appraised as impeding progress toward desired goals
and for some ending their athletic career. Sport injury can
affect athletes both physically and psychologically. Pain,
cognition, emotion, and behavior are primary areas of
psychological functioning affected by injury. Psychological
responses to sport injury tend to be strongest in close temporal
proximity to injury occurrence and fluctuate over the course of
rehabilitation. Psychological readiness to return to sport after
injury is an emerging concept that incorporates aspects of
cognition, emotion and behavior, including the anxiety, Commented [PS1]: Abenza, L., Olmedilla, A., & Ortega, E.

may also be related to performance failure. When athletes
sustain bodily injury associated with time loss from their
sport, they can suffer both physically as well as emotionally
with a decrease in their quality of life. Concussion is another
injury that can be very challenging for athletes to handle given
the associated emotional and cognitive symptoms (e.g. post- Commented [PS4]: Freshwater, S. (July 20,2017)

impact of injury varies with involvement in sport would
experience greater negative affect and retarded recovery. The Commented [PS5]:

and behavioral responses (Masten, Strazar, Zilavec, Tusak &

well as athletes requiring surgery and a greater absence from
participation in sport or physical activity are at greater risk
for experiencing lingering mental health concerns following
their physical recovery and should be encouraged to seek
services from sport psychologists.
