2. Content-
|
In recent years there has been increased emphasis on conditioning
the mind and the body. Research suggests that there is a connection
between an athlete's psychological state and recovery time from an
injury. An athlete that does not respond well psychologically to an
injury can have a longer rehabilitation process. Setting goals and
understanding the psychological impact of injury can assist the athlete
in the rehabilitation process.
The effect of psychological stress and its relationship to injury
prevention and causation is a growing area of study. Sports participation
serves as both a physical and emotional stressor. These stresses can
be negative and positive. Individuals working with athletes need to
understand how stress affects the body in order to help their athletes
when necessary.
