abstract="Rehabilitation from sport injury involves not only physical, but also psychological  considerations. Re-injury worry, confidence and attention are characteristics that  may affect athletes' returning to competition after a sport injury. The study aimed  to describe the predictive ability of the re-injury worry, confidence, and attention  to the total of re-injuries at the new competitive season. The sample was 80 male  athletes with at least three years of competitive experience who had a sport  musculoskeletal injury in the last 8 months and had followed properly their  physiotherapy program. They were ready for re-entry into competitive sport. They  completed on returning to competition: (a) the Causes of the Re-Injury Worry  Questionnaire, (b) the Sport Confidence Questionnaire of Rehabilitated Athletes  Returning to Competition and (c) the Attention Questionnaire of Rehabilitated  Athletes Returning to Competition. The three valid and reliable instruments predict  the total of re-injuries at the beginning and at the middle of the competitive  season. Future research should be conducted to examine the relationship between the  physical and psychological characteristics in re-injury's prediction from different  contact sports.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
