Abstract
Soccer as well as many other sports requires high levels of psychological skills. However, previous studies only examined the association between psychological factors as a whole (general) deal with sports injuries and in particular to examine the relationship between the competitive-trait anxiety and the rate of sports injuries in soccer is not using a specific questionnaire. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between these variables in professional soccer players. Thus, 50 male soccer players with an average age of 23/33 ± 3/60 years, height 179/91 ± 5/33 cm, weight 75/24 ± 8/35 kg, and a mean sports history 7/53 ± 2/62 years who were playing in the Premier League and Division Gilan province participated in the study. Research data were collected through the sport competition anxiety test (SCAT) and an injury report form. The Spearman's correlation coefficient test showed a weak relationship between the competitive-trait anxiety and the rate of sports injuries in the professional soccer players (r = 0/436, p = 0/03). Thus given the weak correlation observed in the present study, do not appear to be the competitive-trait anxiety as a predictor for the risk of sports injuries in professional soccer players. As a result, recommended that the general questionnaires to assess the psychological factors associated with sports injuries are not used, if possible.
