This book was released on 2016 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is estimated that over 50,000 sport injuries are sustained by NCAA athletes every year (Dick, Agel, & Marshall, 2007). Many of these injuries require rehabilitation, and proper adherence to a prescribed rehabilitation program has long been known to lead to better rehabilitation outcomes (Brewer, Van Raalte, Cornelius, Petitpas, Sklar, Pohlman, et al., 2000; Derscheid & Feiring, 1987; Heredia, Munoz, & Artaza, 2004). However, the mechanisms by which adherence to a rehabilitation program can be achieved are not yet well-understood, perhaps due to a lack of rich qualitative studies designed to explore the complexities of the rehabilitation process (Ohman, 2005). To begin to alleviate this shortcoming, the purpose of this study is to qualitatively investigate athletes' motivation in the context of sport injury rehabilitation. More specifically, certified athletic trainers (ATCs) and NCAA athletes were observed during rehabilitation sessions and interviewed in a semistructured manner to determine how self-determination theory (SDT) constructs may affect adherence to sport injury rehabilitation programs. Data analysis revealed three influential categories: ATC-athlete relationship, athlete autonomy, and ATC competence. Two themes (trust, autonomy by necessity) were also uncovered and a negative case was identified. Findings coincide with prior research highlighting the importance of trust and the ATC-athlete relationship. Autonomy by necessity represents a novel finding within sport psychology literature. Implications for future research include examining the role of trust with the sport injury rehabilitation context relative to SDT and identifying specific behaviors ATCs can engage in to regulate their athletes' motivation to adhere."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

This book was released on 2008-06-17 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the scientific information on psychology of injury has increased considerably. Despite dramatic advances in physical education of coaches, field of medicine, athletic training, and physical therapy, the sport-related traumatic injuries is our major concern. Athletic injuries, both single and multiple, have a tendency to grow dramatically. Accordingly, prevention of sport-related injuries is a major challenge facing the sport medicine world today. The purpose of this book is to accumulate the latest development in psychological analyses, evaluation, and management of sport-related injuries, including traumatic brain injuries. No two traumatic injuries are alike in mechanism, symptoms, or symptoms resolution. There is still no agreement upon psychological diagnosis and there is no known comprehensive treatment for sport-related injuries for regaining pre-injury status. Physical symptoms resolution is not an indication of "psychological trauma" resolution.

Download or read book Motivational Processes Involved in the Recovery of Female Athletes from Injury written by Kerry Black and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this study is injured female netball players' motivation when they return to their sport from serious injuries. The purpose of the study is to provide a rich description of the motivation which allows these players to return to their sport and continue in their chosen field. Motivation is a vital component in injury rehabilitation, as it provides the drive that allows rehabilitation to occur. Two theories of motivation are examined in this study, namely the achievement goal theory of motivation and the theory of intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and amotivation. These theories highlight the argument that motivation occupies a continuum between being internally or externally determined. A qualitative phenomenological perspective was used to investigate the motivation of injured netball players. This made it possible to explore individual players' experiences of their injury. A semi-structured interview was conducted with each player to allow each player's experiences to be heard. The interviews were then transcribed. Thematic content analysis of the transcribed interviews revealed two main themes: the inevitable return and identity. The analysis showed that, for these netball players, their motivation to return to playing netball was based on an internal drive to regain an inherent part of their identity. Copyright.

Download or read book Exploring Rehabilitation Adherence and the Motivational Climate Created by Athletic Trainers written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between the athletic trainer created motivational climate and rehabilitation adherence displayed by their athletes. Four certified athletic trainers from one National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I institution participated. The study implemented a convergent mixed methods design, using the Rehabilitation Adherence Measure for Athletic Training as a quantitative measure of adherence and a semi-structured interview to establish the strategies athletic trainers use to organize the rehabilitation process, provide feedback to athletes, and evaluate rehabilitation progress. The semi-structured interview also allowed for other emerging themes during analysis. Results indicated that high-adhering athletes received more task-involving, basic need satisfying (empowering) strategies than low-adhering athletes. Additional exploration of emerging themes (i.e., outside influences, injury specifics, idiosyncrasies of the athlete) also impacted how the motivational climate was created. While the relationship indicates high-adhering athletes may be experiencing empowering motivational climates more so than low-adhering athletes, additional research must be conducted to understand the interaction of the other emergent themes in the creation of motivational climates in the sport injury rehabilitation context.

Download or read book Rehabilitation of Sports Injuries written by Walter R. Frontera and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rehabilitation is, by definition, the restoration of optimal form and function for an athlete. In this edition in the Encyclopedia series, the editor and contributors advocate that rehabilitation should begin as soon as possible after the injurty occurs, alongside therapeutic measures such as anti-inflammatories and other pain killing agents. This might also begin before, or immediately after, surgery. The rehabilitative process is therefore managed by a multi-disciplinary team, including physicians, physiotherapists, psychologists, nutritionists, and athletic trainers, amongst others. This book considers the three phases of rehabilitation: pain relief, protection of the affected area and limitation of tissue damage; limitation of impairment and recovery of flexibility, strength, endurance, balance and co-ordination; and finally the start of conditioning to return to training and competition.

Download or read book College Athletes Experiences with a Lower Body Re Injury A Phenomenological Investigation written by Samantha Holder and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: Lower extremity injuries are the most common musculoskeletal sport injuries and are an inevitable risk to sport participation (Chalmers, 2002; Dane et al., 2004; Kay et al., 2017). When an athlete sustains an injury, fear of re-injury is a salient emotion many athletes experience (e.g., Disanti et al., 2018; Kvist et al., 2005; Lentz et al., 2015). Previous research has identified fear of re-injury as a risk factor to suffering a subsequent injury (e.g., An et al., 2019; Andersen & Williams, 1988; Paterno et al., 2018; Podlog et al., 2011; Tagesson & Kvist, 2016). Epidemiology studies have highlighted that re-injuries are of high prevalence (e.g., Gans et al., 2018; Paterno et al., 2012), and are associated with lower return-to-play rates compared to the first injury occurrence (e.g., Gans et al., 2018; Webster et al., 2019). However, there is a lack of research that has explored the psychological and emotional response to a re-injury. Therefore, this study used a phenomenological qualitative approach to understand eight college athletes’ perceptions and lived experiences in regard to the psychological response to a lower-body re-injury. Five major themes were identified: (a) prior experience and knowledge, (b) concerns, (c) motivation, (d) social support, and (e) coping strategies. It appears that the re-injury experience, while a difficult experience, has some advantages. The athlete is already familiar with the physical and mental hardships of the injury, allowing them to better cope and progress through the rehabilitation. However, the repetitiveness of repeating the same injury process and not being able to participate in their sport for an even longer time was difficult and frustrating. Despite these hardships, the athletes’ appeared to have a renewed motivation as they gained a new perspective of cherishing their sport more and were proud of themselves of overcoming the adversity of re-injury. The findings from this study can be applied by sport personnel (e.g., coaches, athletic trainers, sport psychology professionals) to improve the re-injury experience by providing quality social support. Practical implications and future research direction will also be discussed.

Download or read book There is a Hell of a Lot More Than Just College Football written by Jeremy D. Ross and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine, in a real life setting, how past life experiences influence the psychological outcomes of sport-related injury rehabilitation and return to play in one collegiate athlete. Research in the realm of predictive factors of psychological outcomes is lacking in the sports medicine world. Therefore, the ultimate goal of this study was to examine one athlete to find potential predictors of these outcomes. Methods: Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985) provided the theoretical framework for this study. All data was analyzed within the constraints laid out by SDT's ideas of competence, relatedness, and autonomy as well as the SDT continuum. This case report was also situated within a phenomenological epistemology in order to examine the phenomenon within its real life context. Four semi-structured interviews, unstructured interviews, observation/field note journal, and daily athletic training room notes provided all of the data used within this study. Results: After comparing, contrasting, and triangulating all of the data sources there were three major themes which emerged. They are: competence, social support, and life after football. The competence theme as well as its sub-themes demonstrated that competence is essential to Alvin not just in football but also in all aspects of his life. The second theme, social support, also had two sub-themes; these helped to demonstrate that social support acted as a secondary source of motivation but did not directly foster motivation. The last theme and its sub-themes showed us that Alvin views his experiences as a collegiate football player as a better way to get him to the next aspect of his life, which does not include football. Conclusion: It can be concluded from the results that competence is the most important motivating factor for Alvin; almost all of his motivation was fostered from his feelings of competence. Secondly, autonomy is not important to Alvin and even had detrimental effects on his motivation and mood during rehabilitation. Social support (relatedness) acted in a maintenance role for Alvin's motivation, lining up with previous research. Finally, it can be concluded that each athlete's rehabilitation should be approached in a individual manner and a tool to assess an athletes motivational sources prior to rehabilitation could aid the athletic trainer throughout the rehabilitation process.
