Document Summary

4 criteria to define injury: other definitions/criteria have been applied but often excludes the potential ranges of injury that occur (e. g. requirement for medical attention) Full range of movement complete loss of movement & control. Minor (1 session lost) severe (never playing again) Psychological antecedents & injury outcome: female athlete triad syndrome. Presence of 1 aspect means other 2 are likely present. Interaction of factors to determine behaviors that create negative outcomes. Extreme athlete cognitions/perceptions & maybe turbulent social/family backgrounds lead to prioritizing/valuing of particular behaviors or other aspects of life/contexts. Excessive behavior & conforming (e. g. , weight & image) leads to maladaptive adjustment, & susceptibility to soft tissue & stress injuries. Common in contexts associated with youth/early adulthood; early specializing & individual endurance events (e. g. , cross-country, gymnastics, dance/ballet & figure skating). Compulsive exercise + trying to adhere + under- eating = increase likelihood of stress fractures. Feeling like you need to adhere to a specific body shape.
