Abstract

Research on the relationship between life stress and injuries recently emerged as a topic of interest among athletic trainers, coaches, and sport psychology researchers. The present study examined the relationship between life stress factors, competitive anxiety and coping resources of 105 Division I football players and the injuries they incurred throughout a season of play. The findings indicated that injured players scored high on all the life stress factors and competitive anxiety and lower on coping resources than uninjured players. This finding, while not statistically significant for all the scales employed, supported previous research which has shown a relationship between life stress and injuries. Verf.-Referat
