“…Competition anxiety was measured by the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT). 31 The SCAT is a 15 item measure of competitive trait anxiety. Scores range from 10 to 30, with a higher score indicating a higher level of anxiety.…”

Objectives-Although the nature of rugby injury has been well documented, little is known about key risk factors. A prospective cohort study was undertaken to examine the association between potential risk factors and injury risk, measured both as an injury incidence rate and as a proportion of the playing season missed. The latter measure incorporates a measure of injury severity. Methods-A cohort of 258 male players (mean (SD) age 20.6 (3.7) years) were followed through a full competitive season. At a preseason assessment, basic characteristics, health and lifestyle patterns, playing experience, injury experience, training patterns, and anthropometric characteristics were recorded, and then a battery of fitness tests were carried out. Results-A multiple regression model identified grade and previous injury experience as risk factors for in season injury, measured as an injury incidence rate. A second model identified previous injury experience, hours of strenuous physical activity a week, playing position, cigarette smoking status, body mass index, years of rugby participation, stress, aerobic and anaerobic performance, and number of push ups as risk factors for in season injury, measured as proportion of season missed. Conclusions-The findings emphasise the importance of previous injury as a predictor of injury incidence and of missing play. They also show the importance of considering both the incidence rate and severity of injury when identifying risk factors for injury in sport. (Br J Sports Med 2001;35:157-166)

“…A 50-item SES was rated on the same positive-negative and major-minor dimensions as those used on the APES. Convergent validity was supported in that high school athletes' responses to the SAS correlated with their responses to the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (Martens, 1977) (particularly for the somatic scale), and to a lesser extent with their responses to Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene, 1970). Smith et al's (1992) article did not report reliability and validity.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether psychosocial factors, such as stress, anxiety, social support, and coping skills, could predict injuries (frequency and duration) among 105 ballet dancers (101 females; 4 males). The dancers were professional ballet dancers (n = 27), university ballet students (n = 19), and ballet institute students (n = 59), with a mean age of 20.46 years (SD = 5.50). They completed a modified version of the Adolescent Perceived Event Scale (APES) and Sport Experiences Survey (SES), which address life and dance stress respectively, the Sport Anxiety Scale (SAS), the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 (ACSI-28), and a social support for dance measure. Injuries were recorded (frequency and duration of injuries) for the 10-month period following completion of the surveys. From the correlation matrix of psychosocial scales and injury, we selected for regression analysis, variables that showed at least moderate correlations with the frequency and duration of injury (i.e., peaking under pressure, goal setting/mental preparation, freedom from worry, confidence, negative dance stress, negative life stress). One regression analysis identified freedom from worry and confidence as significant predictors for frequency of injury. A second regression analysis identified freedom from worry and negative dance stress as significant predictors for duration of injury.Ballet dancers frequently overuse various body parts when they learn and perform dance techniques. Most dancers invest a great deal of effort in their preparation and they often incur injuries, both in practice and during performance. Dance is not seasonal, so dancers practice and perform year round, with most dancers experiencing injuries during their career. Garrick and Requa (1993) reported on 104 dancers who incurred 309 injuries, for which insurance disbursed nearly $400,000 for medical costs, during a three-year period. Dancers had 2.97 injuries on average, but the data were skewed. In particular, Garrick and Requa stated that it was remarkable that 23% of these dancers accounted for 52% of all injuries. Smith, Ptacek, and Patterson (2000) found that 61% of the ballet dancers in their study experienced at least one injury over the eight months of
