  • During the season acute injury incidence was reported.
23
Q

What was the results of Arnason et al. 2005 study on “intervention to prevent injury - increase awareness of injury risk”?

A
  • No significant difference between groups – informative interventions are not enough to reduce injury incidence.
  • Formative not enough on its own… might want to do it in conjunction with psychological skills training for higher risk athletes.
24
Q

Outline the components of the GRIEF response to injury

A
  1. Denial – about extent and severity of injury
  2. Anger – realised the severity and coming to terms with the effect, the cause of injury could affect anger levels e.g. external or internal cause
