Examination of the Sports Injury Anxiety Levels Between Professional and Amateur Wrestlers

Abstract

Pressure on wrestlers to be exposed to injuries cause them to have reinjury anxiety in the next term. Aim was to investigate anxiety levels toward sport-injuries. The sample consisted of 408 (263 male, ≥ 18 years) Turkish professional and amateur wrestlers. Demographics were obtained through online-platform with Google Forms due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic including personal information Form and Sports Injury Anxiety Scale (SIAS). Independent-sample t-test was used for gender, professional/amateur, rehabilitation after injury, and competitions during which wrestlers were injured. Pearson correlation analysis was used for the relationship between variables, the Sports Injury Anxiety Scale, and its sub-dimensions. There was a significant difference between groups in terms of disappointment, weak perception-anxiety according to gender variable (p<.05). There were significant differences in terms of professional, and amateur wrestler variables’ losing skills, and reinjury-subdimensions (p<.05). There were significant differences in SIAS grand-average, reinjury-anxiety, disappointment-anxiety, suffering, weak perception-anxiety, losing-skills according to treatment according to reinjury-variable (p<.05). In conclusion, the cause of sports injury anxiety may be due to professionalization levels of athletes. It can be recommended that psychological and sociological support from parents, trainers, and experts may help wrestlers to have a readiness for any sportive injury.
