TRAVERSI, M; BUSICO, N  e  CAICEDO-CAVAGNIS, E. Risk perception and risk propensity related to last sport injury occurred and rehabilitation phase in Córdoba athletes. CPD [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.2, pp.152-168.  Epub 25-Set-2023. ISSN 1989-5879.

Risk propensity (RP) and perceived risk of injury (PRI) are factors associated to the genesis and rehabilitation of sport injuries (SI). The link between RP and PRI was evaluated in athletes with regard to the last SI occurred and rehabilitation phase. The sample was made up of 193 athletes of both sexes (98 female y 95 men) between the ages of 18 and 35 (M= 22.56 DT= 4.04). Female athletes who were currently injured or were injured more than a year ago were found to have higher levels of PRI than male athletes, while males present higher levels of PRI than women when the SI occurred during the last competition season. Also age differences were found, young adults athletes showed higher RP and lowest PRI than young or adult athletes. Differences in the PRI's levels of recreational activities depending on the rehabilitation phase of the SI were also observed, as well as that currently injured athletes have higher levels of RP than those who were injured more than a year ago and those who were injured the last competition season. Factorial ANOVA indicates that sex and last injury occurrence interact with perceived risk of injury. Last, athletes who are in the readaptation stage of SI have higher levels of RP than those who are in the recovery and retraining stages. Finally, a negative association between RP and PRI was found. It is suggested that future research consider variables such as expertise and athlete's self-efficacy, given that these variables may affect SI.
