Sport Management - Injuries, Pain and Fear: a Causal Relationship
Paulo José Santos Ventura
Abstract
High-competition athletes are more likely to sustain a variety of injuries than most sports practitioners, which causes them worry and agony when they return to sports activity. According to current studies, despite the rates of return to sport after injury, 19% of athletes with a shoulder dislocation injury and receiving surgical treatment were unable to return to sport owing to fear of a future injury (kinesiophobia). The study, "Sports Management - Injuries, pain and fear a causal relationship," aims to gather a variety of perspectives on issues related to the topic of pain and fear of injuries in high-competition sports from athletes and other agents involved in the sport. It focuses on the following lines of thinking: athlete injuries in high-competition sport; the external influence and balance of the athlete; injuries and the sporting environment and future challenges. A quantitative, descriptive methodology was applied. On the other hand, the goal was to find out from the respondents what they thought about more objective questions on the subject matter to gauge their perception of the fear of harm in sports. To put it succinctly, the findings indicate that a few variables are largely important in reducing sports-related injuries and the resulting imbalance in the athlete's body and mind.
