It is important to understand the psychosocial mechanisms underlying susceptibility to injury in sport settings because of the potential to enhance well-being at the individual level and reduce economic costs for society. Likewise, it is vital to understand psychosocial factors influencing injury rehabilitation among adolescent and senior athletes. Altogether five studies will be presented in this symposium. In a longitudinal and prospective study, Ivarsson et al recorded injury occurrence among elite soccer players. Findings suggest a model in which daily hassles mediate a relationship between anxiety, negative life event stress, social worry and injury accounting for 24% of the variance in injury frequency. Tranaeus & Johnson reported several findings in regards to experience of psychosocial risk factors preceding overuse injury among elite floorball players. For instance, a number of players stated concerns in the private life just prior to the occurrence of injury. While Klienert report significant interactions between psychosomatic complaints and the occurrence of severe injury during tournament among female soccer players, Shipherd et al analysis of the relationship between conformity to the sport ethic and injury in adolescent athletes revealed athletes scoring higher in sport ethic conformity reported incurring a significant great number of injuries than their peers. In the final study Podlog et al reports about self presentation concerns and risky rehabilitation among adolescent athletes. Findings suggest that athletes with greater self-presentational concerns may be more likely to engage in risky rehabilitation behavior. Practical implications for athletes, coaches and sport psychology practitioner will be discussed.
