Abstract:
To date, there has been little empirical research to support the role that
psychological intervention strategies con play in the rehabilitation of
injured athletes. While the concept behind psychological intervention in
rehabilitation is on intuitive one, the case for such strategies could be
strengthened by scientific research which determines that injured
athletes do in fact respond negatively to their injuries. Consequently, it
it is the purpose of this study, based on the literature reviewed, to obtain
descriptive data about the use or lack of use of negative coping strategies
among injured athletes.
