Book Psychology of Sport Injury

Download or read book Psychology of Sport Injury written by Britton W. Brewer and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2016-12-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a gymnast hiding ankle pain so she can compete to a basketball player who withdraws from friends after a season-ending injury, it can be argued that every sport injury affects or is affected in some way by psychological factors. Given the widespread importance of psychological issues in sport injury, it is important for those working with athletes—injured or not—to be aware of the latest developments on the subject. Written by a sport psychology consultant and an athletic trainer, Psychology of Sport Injury provides a thorough explanation of the elements and effects of sport injuries along with up-to-date research and insights for practical application. The authors offer a contemporary approach to preventing, treating, rehabilitating, and communicating professionally about sport injuries that takes into account physical, psychological, and social factors. Psychology of Sport Injury presents sport injury within a broader context of public health and offers insights into the many areas in which psychology may affect athletes, such as risk culture, the many facets of pain, athlete adherence to rehab regimens, the relationship between psychological factors and clinical outcomes, collaboration, and referrals for additional support. The book explores the relevant biological, psychological, and social factors that affect given circumstances. The text consists of four parts: Understanding and Preventing Sport Injuries, Consequences of Sport Injury, Rehabilitation of Sport Injury, and Communication in Sport Injury Management. Psychology of Sport Injury includes evidence-based examples and demonstrates real-world applications that sport health care professionals often face with athletes. Additional pedagogical features include the following: • Focus on Research boxes provide the what and why of the latest research to complement the applied approach of the text. • Focus on Application boxes highlight practical examples to illustrate the material and maintain student engagement. • Psychosocial content aligned with the latest educational competencies of the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) helps students prepare for athletic training examinations and supports professional development for practitioners. • A prevention-to-rehabilitation approach gives a framework for understanding sport injury, including precursors to injury, pain as a complex phenomenon, adherence to rehabilitation, and communication and management of injuries with other health care professionals as well as the athlete. • A set of chapter quizzes and a presentation package aid instructors in testing student comprehension and preparing lectures. Psychology of Sport Injury is an educational tool, reference text, and springboard to new ideas for research and practice in any line of work exposed to sport injury. Observing and committing to athletes, especially during times of physical trauma and emotional distress (which are often not separate times), are critical skills for athletic trainers, physical therapists, sport psychologists, coaches, and others who work with athletes on a regular basis.

Book Injuries in Athletics  Causes and Consequences

Download or read book Injuries in Athletics Causes and Consequences written by Semyon M. Slobounov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. 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.

Book The Mental Impact of Sports Injury

Download or read book The Mental Impact of Sports Injury written by Carly D. McKay and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much is known about the physical strain that athletes’ bodies are subjected to and the dangerous aspects of competition immediately spring to mind. But why do athletes train the way they do, and why do they push the limits? Why do some recover well from injury while others struggle? Despite decades of medical and sport science research, a piece has been missing from this picture. Until recently, the role of psychological factors in risk and rehabilitation has been poorly understood. Thankfully, there is increasing awareness of just how crucial these factors can be for predicting injury, improving recovery, developing prevention strategies, and supporting athletes’ long-term health. Yet, research in this area is still in its infancy and it can be difficult to synthesize an ever-growing body of knowledge into practical injury management approaches. Using analogies from everyday life, The Mental Impact of Sports Injury bridges the gap between academic research and practical settings in an informative, yet easy to follow guide to the psychology of sports injury. Addressing risk, rehabilitation, and prevention, it outlines key considerations for researchers and practitioners across all levels of sport. Alongside the fundamentals of injury psychology, emerging areas of importance are also discussed, including training load monitoring and the technological advances that are shaping modern sport medicine. Targeted examples highlight the challenges of preventing and managing injury in grassroots, elite, and professional contexts, with chapters dedicated to the under-served communities of youth and Para sport athletes. Stepping away from traditional texts, this unique book presents the landmark literature, major concepts, and athlete insights into sports injury psychology from a totally new perspective.

Book The Psychology of Sport Injury and Rehabilitation

Download or read book The Psychology of Sport Injury and Rehabilitation written by Monna Arvinen-Barrow and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-01-22 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by internationally known experts The Psychology of Sport Injury and Rehabilitation draws on the latest research in sport psychology and sports medicine. Using case studies to augment the reader’s experience, this new edition emphasizes the importance of a holistic, interprofessional approach to sport injury management and care. By doing so, the book provides injured individuals, their families, and healthcare professionals a thorough overview of how psychology plays a role in sport injury prevention, rehabilitation, and return to participation process. Athletes routinely use psychological skills and interventions for performance enhancement but, perhaps surprisingly, not always to assist in recovery from injury. This book demonstrates the ways in which athletes and practitioners can transfer psychological skills to an injury and rehabilitation setting to enhance recovery and the well-being of the athlete. Psychology of injury is an integral part of sport injury prevention, rehabilitation, and return to participation process. The second edition of The Psychology of Sport Injury and Rehabilitation is a comprehensive text grounded in biopsychosocial theory and scientific evidence. The fully revised second edition is an important resource for students, academic scholars, and applied practitioners working in sport psychology, sports medicine, sports coaching, and other related healthcare professions.

Download or read book Bouncing Back written by Samantha M. Rizzo and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of sports-related injuries that occurs annually in both youth and collegiate athletics is staggering, and the psychological consequences of a sports-related injury can be very crippling. Personality traits have been shown to play a role in recovery from athletic injuries, though the literature on this topic is quite limited. The present study sought to explore the impact of the Big Five personality traits, optimism, and resilience, on sports-related injury, rehabilitation, and recovery. A total of 228 NCAA Division III student athletes (ages 17-23) were recruited, and completed measures of personality, depression, stress, and anxiety during injury, rehabilitation adherence, and questions about their injury recovery. Participants completed a retrospective survey during their pre-season, concerning injuries sustained last season, and a prospective survey after their season ended, inquiring about injuries sustained in the current season. Personality traits, especially optimism, extraversion, and negative emotionality, were found to predict the onset of athletic injury, subjective response to injury, number of missed practices and games, and overall perceived recovery. A relationship between rehabilitation adherence and conscientiousness may also exist. The findings from this study indicate that individual differences in personality may influence how an individual responds physically and psychologically to a sports-related injury. Future research should incorporate the Big Five in the realm of personality and health-related outcomes.

Book Psychological Aspects of Sport Related Concussions

Download or read book Psychological Aspects of Sport Related Concussions written by Gordon A. Bloom and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognition of concussion as a serious injury, informed by neurological and physiological research, is now commonplace in sport. However, research on the psychology of concussive injury—its psychological implications and outcomes, and psychological interventions for prevention and recovery—has largely been overlooked. This is the first book to explicitly and authoritatively set out the psychological aspects of sport-related concussion from a multidisciplinary and global perspective The book attempts to offer a global understanding of the injury by presenting an historical overview; exploring the psychological implications of sport-related concussion and the influence of gender and sociocultural context on concussive injury and recovery; setting out practical guidance on working with special populations suffering from concussive injuries; and discussing the theoretical and methodological considerations for research on concussion and future directions for this research. Written by a group of leading international experts and offering a hitherto underdeveloped perspective on this crucial area of sports injury research, this book is crucial reading for any upper-level student, researcher, sport scientist, coach, or allied health professional working on sport-related concussion. It is also valuable reading for students and researchers interested in the psychosocial processes that impact injury and recovery or general professional practice in sport psychology.

Book An Assessment of the Prevalence of Injury of Collegiate Athletes at Maryville College Along with the Psychological Effects and Resilience of Those that Have Obtained Long term Absence Injuries

Download or read book An Assessment of the Prevalence of Injury of Collegiate Athletes at Maryville College Along with the Psychological Effects and Resilience of Those that Have Obtained Long term Absence Injuries written by Davis Clothier and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the span of five academic years, 23,710 injuries were reported to the National Collegiate Athlete Association (NCAA)-participating schools, and these injuries can be attained with practices, strength training workouts, and/or games. When injuries occur, negative psychological effects can occur, such as anxiety and decreased quality of life (QOL). The primary purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine the overall mental wellness of athletes who have had long-time absence injuries in collegiate sports and to evaluate the resiliency response of these athletes. An electronic survey assessing rate of injury among sports, psychological responses to injury and QOL was distributed to athletes at one NCAA Division III school for three weeks in spring 2021. Most participants were white (89.7%), female (55.9%), and 82.3% of all participants experienced injuries during their collegiate career. However, 41.1% reported longterm injuries (more than 4 weeks) that had significant impacts on symptoms of anxiety and depression with 90% indicating moderate to high risk for poor mental wellness and decreased QOL with 31.7% indicating neutral to highly dissatisfied QOL. Many participants reported that the best way to support them during injuries was through the support of athletic trainers. Further research is needed to better understand the psychological impact of long-term injuries on college athletes as well as optimal forms of support for these athletes.

Download or read book Psyche of the Injured Athlete written by Laura Miele and published by Skillbites. This book was released on 2021-02-28 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psyche of the Injured Athlete: the Unspoken Truths presents an intimate look at what happens to athletes who suffer a debilitating, sport career-ending injury. The athlete's identity, the sports family, the daily discipline and work to become an elite athlete are all gone. The psyche of the athlete is damaged, and there is little in place to help them find healing and wholeness. The author, Dr. Laura Miele, PhD, describes her own journey as an elite basketball player who suffered a back injury that ended her promising career and left her on the sidelines. She shares the utter devastation, the consultations with numerous medical professionals searching for a way to rehabilitate and continue to play, and the realization that she needed to move on from her dream. She is an expert in fitness, sports and recreation with a PhD in Sports Psychology, and she brings her understanding of athletic identity, sports injury rehabilitation, and career-ending injury to bear on the lack of mental health resources available to injured athletes and to those who care for them. This book is intended to help coaches, parents, medical practitioners, and the injured athletes themselves acknowledge the need for the body, mind and spirit all to be considered when evaluating the health and wellbeing of the injured athlete. The seven comprehensive chapters cover Miele's story, the role of sport in the identity of elite athletes, the loneliness and despair of an injured, depressed athlete, and finally her detailed solutions to help the injured athlete cope with and move beyond their injury, to transition out of sports and into a successful career and life. The insights from coaches and athletes sprinkled throughout the book corroborate and expand on the topics of athletics, injury, loss and recovery. Dr. Miele notes that athletes have everything they need to heal and move on if they are given the appropriate support. They are disciplined, they know how to work hard, and they are team players. With the right mental health resources and guidance, they can integrate their love of their sport into their life and come back strong. Whether you are a parent, coach, doctor or athlete, this book is a must read. Better analysis and treatment are critical to the mental health of elite athletes, and you owe it to yourself or the athlete you care for to better understand the psyche of the injured athlete.
