This study seeks to establish relationships between injuries in tennis players and psychological variables such as stress control, assessment of performance, motivation, mental ability and team cohesion. It specifically aims at finding out whether the seriousness and type of the injuries suffered by tennis players are related to the psychologcical variables studied. Sixty-three tennis players aged 16-49 participated in the study (M = 31.62; SD = 8.93). The findings indicate that those tennis players with fewer moderate injuries showed higher levels of motivation. In addition to this, the tennis players with a lower number of muscular injuries manifested greater self-control which is needed in sports performance. When the incidence of a tendinitis was lower, the tennis players were able to assess their performance better, and when the number of fractures was smaller, they showed greater team cohesion. |
