We now better understand the importance of psychological variables in the origin of injuries, a number of previous studies have identified certain factors that could predict sports injuries. The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of psychological characteristics associated with athletic performance, competitive trait anxiety and mood in injury occurrence. Participants were 115 athletes, members of specialization programs, who were administered the Psychological Inventory on Athletic Execution (IPED), Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT) and Profile of Mood States (POMS). Subsequent lesions were recorded over a period of 10 months. The results indicate that self-confidence and competitive trait anxiety were significant predictors of the number of injuries. Moreover, this relationship between injuries, anxiety and self-confidence is maintained when the effect of other variables is controlled. These results are discussed and a series of considerations at the applied level are proposed.</p><p> </p>

En esta investigación se realiza un estudio sobre el control del estrés en deportistas, utilizando como muestra 100 jugadores de fútbol semiprofesionales. Se parte de la consideración de que controlar el estrés para no llegar a estados de ansiedad es imprescindible, ya que alcanzar estos estados provoca efectos negativos en otras variables psicológicas del deportista, disminuyendo su autoconfianza y perjudicando el control atencional. El objetivo de esta investigación es describir los niveles de ansiedad, autoconfianza y atención-concentración en futbolistas semiprofesionales, mediante el análisis de la variable psicológica control del estrés. El instrumento utilizado para el estudio es la escala control del estrés del cuestionario de Características Psicológicas relacionadas con el Rendimiento Deportivo (CPRD). Como conclusiones del estudio, cabe destacar que desarrollar la habilidad psicológica de control del estrés, previene alcanzar estados de ansiedad y como consecuencia, posibilita mantener elevada la autoconfianza y una buena capacidad de atención-concentración durante la competición.Abstract. In this research, a study on stress management in athletes is carried out with a sample of 100 semi-professional football players. Stress control is essential for avoiding a state of anxiety, as this state may have negative effects on other psychological variables of athletes, decreasing their self-confidence and harming their attentional control. The objective of this research is to describe anxiety, self-confidence, and attention-concentration levels in semi-professional footballers by means of analysing stress control. The instrument used for the study is the stress control scale from the Psychological Characteristics related to Sports Performance (CPRD) questionnaire. As a conclusion, it is noteworthy that developing the psychological ability of controlling stress prevents the appearance of anxiety states, allowing athletes to maintain high self-confidence and good attention-concentration capacity during competitions.

This study aims to investigate whether simple and convenient progressive relaxation training (PRT) is effective in enhancing collegiate student athletes’ mental health and sports performance. An experimental group of 14 (6 female) and a control group of 10 (5 female) collegiate student athletes were recruited from among track and field athletes who were preparing for provincial competition. The experimental group was exposed to a PRT intervention in 30-min sessions conducted twice per week for a duration of one month. At baseline, the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised Short Scale for Chinese (EPQ-RSC) were completed, while only the CSAI-2 was reassessed at one, two, and three weeks after initiation of the intervention. Additionally, within half a day after completing all one’s individual competition events, the CSAI-2 was again assessed in the two groups recalling their memory of their precompetition state anxiety. Then, the differences in the three dimensions of the CSAI-2 between the two groups at the five time points introduced above were compared. This study also explored whether PRT affected sports performance, defined by the athletes reaching their best records or not, by logistic regressive analysis. This study found significant between-group differences in the self-confidence dimension score at the second and third time points. Through logistic regression analysis, a positive effect of PRT was found for the enhancement of sports performance. In sum, PRT showed positive effects on precompetition state self-confidence and enhanced sports performance among collegiate student athletes.

This study compared the differences in the putter trajectory and psychophysiological variables of winners and losers in a competitive putting game that targeted professional and amateur golfers under stress. Eight professional golfers (handicap: [Formula: see text]) and eight amateur golfers (handicap: [Formula: see text]) participated. To maximize the tension of the competition, the putting game was held in a single-elimination one-on-one knockout tournament with a single 2.1[Formula: see text]m putting competition for each group. In the case of a hole-in or a failure by both golfers, the game resumed until the winner was determined. To compare the golfers during the game, the maximum speed, moving length, and amplitude of the putter head during the back-swing and the follow-through were set as the motion variables; and psychological variables (heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), and Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2)) were analyzed. The results showed significant differences between the putter trajectory variables (maximum velocity and amplitude of the putter head during follow-through) of the groups, but no differences in the psychophysiological variables. In comparing winners and losers within each group, however, the professional group showed a difference in only the psychophysiological variables (HRV and self-confidence of CSAI-2), whereas the amateur group showed a difference in only one putter trajectory variable (follow-through length). It was quantitatively confirmed that factors that determine the outcome of the game differed at a technical level.

Las lesiones constituyen uno de los principales problemas en el deporte debido a las repercusiones negativas sobre la salud y el rendimiento del deportista. Su etiología multifactorial requiere que sean abordadas también desde lo psicológico para comprender su comportamiento de manera integral y lograr mayores impactos en su prevención. La presente investigación se realizó con los lanzadores de béisbol de primera categoría de la provincia de Villa Clara, Cuba, con el propósito de determinar la relación entre las variables psicológicas asociadas al rendimiento del deportista y las lesiones. Se estudiaron un total de 48 lanzadores constituyendo una población heterogénea, integrada por deportistas noveles y de mayor experiencia competitiva. Se aplicó el Cuestionario de Aspectos Deportivos y Lesiones, el Inventario de Ansiedad Rasgo-Estado, el Inventario de Ansiedad Estado en Competición y el Inventario Psicológico de Ejecución Deportiva. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que los lanzadores estudiados presentan una baja percepción de la relación entre variables psicológicas y lesiones, constatando además que en la competición aparecen más lesiones que en los entrenamientos y que los deportistas con antecedentes de lesiones presentan diferencias significativas en el estado de determinadas variables psicológicas en comparación con los lanzadores que no se han lesionado. Estas diferencias se observan en la ansiedad estado en competición, la autoconfianza, el control del afrontamiento negativo, el control de la atención y el control visual e imaginativo. Injuries are one of the main problems in sport due to the negative impact on the health and performance of the athlete. Their multi-causal etiology requires that they also be approached from the psychological to understand their behavior in an integral way and achieve greater impacts in its prevention. The present investigation was carried out with the first category Baseball pitchers of the province of Villa Clara, Cuba, with the purpose of determining the relationship between the psychological variables associated with the athlete's performance and the injuries. A total of 48 pitchers were studied, constituting a heterogeneous population, made up of new athletes with greater competitive experience. The Sports Aspects and Injuries Questionnaire, the Trait-State Anxiety Inventory, the Competing State Anxiety Inventory and the Psychological Inventory of Sports Execution were applied. The results obtained show that the pitchers studied have a low perception of the relationship between psychological variables and injuries, also confirming that in the competition there are more injuries than in training. In addition, the results are displaying that athletes with a history of injuries and within these, the ones that most injuries have suffered, present significant differences in the status of certain psychological variables compared to pitchers who have not been injured. This difference can be observed in competition state anxiety, self-confidence, negative coping control, attention control, and visual and imaginative control. Le lesioni sono uno dei principali problemi negli sport a causa dell'impatto negativo sulla salute e sulle prestazioni dell'atleta. La loro eziologia multifattoriale richiede che vengano affrontati anche dal punto di vista psicologico per comprendere il loro comportamento in modo integrale e ottenere maggiori impatti nella sua prevenzione. La presente indagine è stata condotta con i lanciatori di baseball di prima categoria della provincia di Villa Clara con lo scopo di determinare la relazione tra le variabili psicologiche associate alla prestazione dell'atleta e le lesioni. Sono stati studiati un totale di 48 lanciatori, costituendo una popolazione eterogenea, composta da nuovi atleti con una maggiore esperienza competitiva. Sono stati applicati il ​​questionario sugli aspetti sportivi e sugli infortuni, l'inventario dell'ansia trait-state, l'inventario dell'ansia di stato in competizione e l'inventario psicologico dell'esecuzione sportiva. I risultati ottenuti mostrano che i lanciatori studiati hanno una bassa percezione del rapporto tra variabili psicologiche e infortuni, confermando anche che nella competizione ci sono più infortuni che in allenamento e che gli atleti con una storia di infortuni e al loro interno, quelli che più le lesioni hanno sofferto, presentano differenze significative nello stato di alcune variabili psicologiche rispetto ai lanciatori che non sono stati feriti. Questa differenza può essere osservata in variabili come; l'ansia era in competizione, la fiducia in se stessi, il controllo del coping negativo, il controllo dell'attenzione e il controllo visivo e immaginativo. As lesões são um dos principais problemas do esporte devido ao impacto negativo na saúde e no desempenho do atleta. Sua etiologia multifatorial exige que eles também sejam abordados do ponto de vista psicológico para entender seu comportamento de maneira integral e obter maiores impactos em sua prevenção. A presente investigação foi realizada com a primeira categoria de lançadores de basebol da província de Villa Clara, Cuba, com o objetivo de determinar a relação entre as variáveis ​​psicológicas associadas ao desempenho do atleta e as lesões. Foram estudados 48 lançadores, constituindo uma população heterogênea, composta por novos atletas com maior experiência competitiva. Foram aplicados o Questionário de Aspectos e Lesões Esportivas, o Inventário de Ansiedade Traço-Estado, o Inventário de Ansiedade Estado Competente e o Inventário Psicológico de Execução Esportiva. Os resultados obtidos mostram que os lançadores estudados têm uma baixa percepção da relação entre variáveis ​​psicológicas e lesões, confirmando também que na competição há mais lesões do que nos treinos e que atletas com histórico de lesões e dentro delas, as que mais lesões sofridas apresentam diferenças significativas no status de certas variáveis ​​psicológicas em comparação com lançadores que não foram feridos. Essa diferença pode ser observada na ansiedade do estado de competição, autoconfiança, controle negativo de enfrentamento, controle da atenção e controle visual e imaginativo.

El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer cómo se ha llevado a cabo el trabajo psicológico en el proceso de formación deportiva de los luchadores olímpicos españoles con metodología cualitativa, se aplicó una entrevista semi-estructurada a 21 luchadores. Los resultados muestran que los luchadores olímpicos estiman que no han trabajado adecuadamente los aspectos psicológicos, valorando la mayoría que es fundamental en la etapa de alta competición si quieres alcanzar la excelencia. Entre las principales capacidades destacan autoconfianza, capacidad de sacrificio, constancia, disciplina, perseverancia y motivación personal. Presión-estrés se produce antes de la competición, aumenta la ansiedad motivada por dar el peso; reclaman más encuentros internacionales con el propósito de mejora en su control emocional. De este modo, se consideran la motivación y la autoconfianza, como variables psicológicas condicionales e importantes en el rendimiento deportivo y por lo tanto predictores del éxito en Lucha Olímpica. The aim of this study was to know how psychological work has been carried out in the process of sports training of Spanish Olympic fighters with qualitative methodology, a semi-structured interview was applied to 21 fighters. The results show that the wrestlers believe that they have not adequately worked on the psychological aspects, but most believe this is fundamental in the stage of high competition if you want to achieve excellence. Among the main capacities we can highlight: Self-confidence, capacity for sacrifice, constancy, discipline, perseverance and personal motivation. Pressure-stress occurs before the competition due to the anxiety motivated by any potential weight increase.  Therefore, the Olympic fighters demand more international meetings with the purpose of improving their emotional state. Accordingly, motivation and self-confidence are considered to be the main conditioning and important psychological variables in sports performance, and therefore they are predictors of success in the Olympic fight.
