Psychological variables related to sport injury vulnerability and recovery.

Key words: sport injury; sport psychology; stress; risk-taking behavior.

Description:Traditional perspective on sport injury has been focused on the wounded organ or tissue. From such perspective, the athlete is a mere container of the "broken piece". Conversely, empirical research as well as clinical experience emphasize the active role the athlete plays in the process of both sustaining and injury and recovering from it. The research group is centered, on the one hand, in analyzing athlete´s psychological variables that mediate in the process of becoming injured, such as stress responses to competitive and life demands, and risk propensity and risk-taking behaviors the athlete might show when practicing sport. On the other hand, the research group is keen on studying how positive and negative emotions affect rehabilitation process and return to play.
