Introduction. Faced with the risk of injury relapse, and as athletes train and compete, they generate anxiety that limits their ability to push themselves to the maximum, influencing their performance.
Objectives. i) To identify the state and trait anxiety of non-professional athletes with previous hamstring injuries; ii) To evaluate the main prognostic factors of anxiety in these athletes; and iii) To analyze the best predictive model of anxiety in soccer players with previous hamstring injuries.
Material and method. Ambispective cross-sectional cohort study. 88 players will be recruited. The primary variable of the study will be anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), with the number of recurrences of the study injury being the dependent variable. The secondary variables, estimated as modifying or confounding, will be the main sociodemographic variables (age, type of school/work activity), clinical (number of hamstring injuries, number of relapses of injury in the same location, duration of injury in weeks, date of last injury), sports (weekly training load, seasons competing, regular starting line-up) and anthropometric (weight).
Male athletes aged 18 to 19
Registered in the Division of Honor category of the Region of Murcia
Who are university students
With previous hamstring injuries in the last 12 months.
Athletes with an injury, muscular or not, at the time of the study
Athletes in their first year as registered soccer players.
Footballers who will be recruited to the teams Real Murcia, Real Murcia Promesas, Alcantarilla, UCAM, Churra, Guadalupe, all of them belonging to the under-19 category.
Cohort
Cross-sectional
Surveys
Other interventionIn the present study, no intervention will be carried out, with the recruited subjects only completing the questionnaires set out in the study variables.
Assessment of anxiety
Anxiety will be evaluated using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. This scale will be used to measure the perception of anxiety of the patients included in the study. The state and trait of anxiety of each subject is evaluated with a score of 0 to 30 points for each scale, where a higher score indicates a higher anxiety index in the trait or state.
Assessment of the main sociodemographic variables
In the evaluation of the main sociodemographic variables, the following will be evaluated: age (in completed months) and type of school/work activity (sedentary/active)
Measuring the number of hamstring injuries
For the data analysis, each subject will be asked to indicate, among the clinical variables, the number of hamstring injuries they have had over the last 3 seasons
Measurement of weekly training load
For the data analysis, each subject will be asked to indicate, among the sports variables, the weekly training load (in hours) that they usually have during the competition stage of the season.
Assessment of the main anthropometric variables
In the assessment of the main anthropometric variables, weight (in kg) will be measured.
