Analysis of resilience, anxiety and sports injuries in soccer by competition level

Abstract

The objective of this study was to establish and analyze the relationship between resilience, anxiety states and sports injuries, taking in account the level of competition. 185 soccer players of various clubs and categories participated, using diversity questionnaires such as: CD-RISC and STAI-RASGO, as well as an injuries register. Analysis with structural equations was carried out. Results showed that competitive level directly affects the capacity of confronting future injuries independently of the anxiety states players have.
