Coping with sport injuries is one of the realities of engagement in physical activity, and a significant body of evidence on the psychological aspects of sport injuries documents the stressful and challenging nature of injury experiences ( Wiese-Bjornstal, Smith, Shaffer, & Morrey, 1998 ). Many

An Investigation Into Former High School Athletes’ Experiences of a Multidisciplinary Approach to Sport Injury Rehabilitation
Damien Clement and Monna Arvinen-Barrow
The existing literature suggests that the most effective sport injury rehabilitation occurs when a range of individuals work closely together with the injured athlete to aid their return to preinjury levels of physical and psychosocial health, fitness, well-being, and performance. 1 As such, sport
A Review of the Sport-Injury and -Rehabilitation Literature: From Abstraction to Application
Courtney W. Hess, Stacy L. Gnacinski, and Barbara B. Meyer
As the rate of sport participation steadily increases around the globe, so too does the frequency of sport injuries ( Caine, Caine, & Maffulli, 2006 ). Researchers have consistently reported high injury rates across sports ( Caine et al., 2006 ; Maffulli, Longo, Spiezia, & Denaro, 2010 ; Swenson

Examples of the types of adversity examined include deselection ( Neely, Dunn, McHugh, & Holt, 2018 ); sport injury ( Roy-Davis, Wadey, & Evans, 2017 ); performance slumps, coach conflicts, bullying, eating disorders, and sexual abuse ( Tamminen, Holt, & Neely, 2013 ); and repeated

and persistence through an extensive rehabilitation process may become the responsibility for athletic trainers. Applying key concepts from the sport commitment model (SCM), 2 – 4 to sport injury rehabilitation may give the athletic trainer important tools to facilitate motivation and persistence in
Exploring the Relationship Between Mental Toughness and Self-Compassion in the Context of Sport Injury
Karissa L. Johnson, Danielle L. Cormier, Kent C. Kowalski, and Amber D. Mosewich
Sport injury is a pervasive issue for competitive athletes—as many as 91% of athletes will experience a sport-related injury in their athletic career. 1 Athletes experiencing injury often experience stress, frustration, isolation, and disorientation, and may struggle to find effective methods to
A Preliminary Exploration of the Application of Self-Compassion Within the Context of Sport Injury

study aimed to provide an initial exploration of the application of self-compassion within the context of sport injury. It was theorized that within the framework of Williams and Andersen’s ( 1998 ) stress-injury model, self-compassion would predict healthier responses to stress and may therefore reduce

focus, Wadey et al. (2011, p. 155 ) have called for a shift “from the dominant focus on the negative consequences of sport injury, to a more inclusive approach that (. . .) accounts for positive concepts.” Although in the past years more and more research has examined the positive aspects of injuries
The Socioeconomic Distribution of Sport Injuries: Multivariate Analyses Using Canadian National Data
Timothy I. McCutcheon, James E. Curtis, and Philip G. White
This paper reports on the distribution by socioeconomic status (SES) of injuries from sport and physical activities for each gender using data from a national sample of adult Canadians. The results show weak positive relationships between SES (various measures) and sport injury before controls for both genders, and that men are more likely to experience sports injuries than women. Workplace physical activity is negatively related to SES and negatively related to sport injury. Also, duration and intensity of sport and physical activities are positively related to SES and positively related to sport injuries. The effects of these intervening variables help account for the positive relationships of SES and sport injuries.
Transcontextual Development of Motivation in Sport Injury Prevention Among Elite Athletes
Derwin King-Chung Chan and Martin S. Hagger
The present study investigated the transcontextual process of motivation in sport injury prevention. We examined whether general causality orientation, perceived autonomy support from coaches (PAS), self-determined motivation (SD-Mtv), and basic need satisfaction in a sport context predicted SD-Mtv, beliefs, and adherence with respect to sport injury prevention. Elite athletes (N = 533) completed self-report measures of the predictors (Week 1) and the dependent variables (Week 2). Variance-based structural equation modeling supported hypotheses: SD-Mtv in a sport context was significantly predicted by PAS and basic need satisfaction and was positively associated with SD-Mtv for sport injury prevention when controlling for general causality orientation. SD-Mtv for sport injury prevention was a significant predictor of adherence to injury-preventive behaviors and beliefs regarding safety in sport. In conclusion, the transcontextual mechanism of motivation may explain the process by which distal motivational factors in sport direct the formation of proximal motivation, beliefs, and behaviors of sport injury prevention.
