Abstract
The aim of this research is to examine the post-injury anxiety levels of active athletes. For this purpose, Sports Injury Anxiety Scale was applied to a total of 154 athletes between the ages of 17-26, of whom were 61 female and 93 were male, who had suffered sports injuries in the last six months within the scope of the volunteering principle. In the study, the normal distribution of the data according to each variable skewness ve kurtosis was examined by the Shapiro Wilk Test. The analysis showed that the data was distributed between ±1 and parametric tests were used in the analysis of the data. While there was no statistically significant difference in gender and sports branch variables, there was a positive correlation between the age variable and the sub-dimension of re-injury anxiety (YYK)of the participants. In addition, 1-7 days away from sports in the lower dimensions of anxiety to disappoint and lose social support score averages were found to be higher than other groups. When we look at the score averages of the scale sub-dimensions, it is observed that the participants were most concerned with poor perception and loss of social support.
