Resumen
RIOS GARIT, Jesús y PEREZ SURITA, Yanet. Psychological factors related to injuries in high-performance basketball sportsmen from Villa Clara. Rev haban cienc méd [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.5 Epub 10-Oct-2021. ISSN 1729-519X.
Introduction:
The epidemiological behavior of injuries in basketball, the negative effects on the health of sportsmen, their multicausal etiology and the theoretical dispersion in determining their psychological background justify the present study.
Objective:
To associate psychological factors with the injuries suffered by the sportsmen analyzed.
Material and Methods:
Cross-sectional descriptive correlational study carried out on the 21 sportsmen that make up the high-performance basketball population of Villa Clara province. A specific questionnaire was used to obtain information on the injuries; the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Competency State Anxiety Inventory were used to assess trait and state anxiety, respectively. The Sports Performance Psychological Inventory was used to evaluate the psychological skills associated with sports performance. Data were analyzed using empirical frequency distribution, minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for a sample as well as Pearson's linear correlation coefficient with a significance level of p≤0.05.
Results:
The high presence of injuries, which has a behavior similar to the theoretical background of the study, is evident. The negative coping control and the attention control were the psychological factors that achieved lower scores. The low negative coping control and the low control of the attitude establish higher levels of relationship with injuries.
Conclusions:
Low levels of self-confidence, emotional control, attention and attitude are associated with a greater number of injuries, so less negative coping control and attitude is associated with more serious injuries.
