Comparison of Sports Injury Anxiety in Athletes Doing Sports on Different Surfaces

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to compare sports injury anxiety levels of athletes doing sports on different surface regardless from sports type. The study was carried out with 150 male athletes between the ages of 15-35 who had at least one sports injury. The participants were divided into three groups depending on the surface including turf (n=50), artificial turf (n=50), and parquet floor (n=50). The "Sport Injury Anxiety Scale" was used in order to determine the sports injury anxiety levels of the participants. The scale was implemented online through Google Forms. The differences between groups were evaluated with the Kruskal-Wallis test. Also differences between paired groups were evaluated with the Mann Whitney U test. It was observed that athletes doing sports on parquet floor had higher levels of sports injury anxiety compared to those doing sports on turf and artificial turf surface (p <0.01). Considering that athletes who do sports on parquet floor have high levels of sports injury anxiety, we think that these athletes should be supported in terms of coping with anxiety.
