Psychological predictors of sports injuries in elite ski athletes: a multidimensional analysis of personality, anxiety, depression and inflexibility
Certain psychological traits, especially neuroticism, inflexibility, and depressive symptoms are associated with an increased risk and severity of injuries. By identifying these psychological risk profiles, we can develop targeted interventions to prevent injuries and support recovery. It's essential to incorporate psychological assessments into health and performance programs for athletes engaged in high-demand sports.
