RIOS-GARIT, J; PEREZ SURITA, Y; OLMEDILLA ZAFRA, A y GOMEZ-ESPEJO, V. Psychology and sports injuries: a study in baseball pitchers. CPD [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.1, pp.102-118. Epub 12-Abr-2021. ISSN 1989-5879.
The multifactorial etiology of injuries, as well as the high incidence and prevalence in baseball pitchers, requires that they also should be deal with from Psychology. This research studies 48 baseball pitchers in Villa Clara, Cuba, to determine the relationship between psychological variables associated with the athlete's performance and the injuries they´ve suffered. The Sports Aspects and Injuries Questionnaire, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the State Anxiety Inventory in Competition and the Psychological Inventory of Sports Execution were applied. The results show a high prevalence of injuries, which occur most frequently in competition. Most of the psychological variables are related to the experience and the number of injuries suffered, also estimating the negative effect that they produce on anxiety, self-confidence, control of negative coping, control of attention and visual and imaginative control.
