<p>Resumen:</p><p>En el deporte de competición, una serie de factores fisiológicos, biomecánicos, ambientales y psicológicos interaccionan para provocar la susceptibilidad o un aumento en la vulnerabilidad del deportista a la lesión. Actualmente, se asume la importancia de las variables psicológicas en el origen de la lesión, una serie de investigaciones previas han señalado determinados factores, que podrían predecir las lesiones deportivas. El objetivo del estudio es analizar la influencia de las características psicológicas asociadas al rendimiento deportivo, la ansiedad rasgo competitiva y los estados de ánimo en la ocurrencia de lesiones. Los participantes fueron 115 deportistas integrantes de programas de tecnificación, a los cuales fueron administrados el Inventario Psicológico de Ejecución Deportiva (IPED), Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT) y Perfil de Estados de Ánimo (POMS). Posteriormente, se registraron las lesiones durante un período de 10 meses. Los resultados indican que la autoconfianza y la ansiedad rasgo competitiva fueron predictores significativos del número de lesiones. Además, esta relación entre lesiones, ansiedad y autoconfianza se mantuvo cuando se controló el efecto de otras variables. Se discuten estos resultados y se propone una serie de consideraciones a nivel aplicado.</p><p> </p><p>Abstract:</p><p>In competitive sports a number of physiological, biomechanical, environmental and psychological factors interact to cause increased susceptibility or vulnerability to injury. We now better understand the importance of psychological variables in the origin of injuries, a number of previous studies have identified certain factors that could predict sports injuries. The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of psychological characteristics associated with athletic performance, competitive trait anxiety and mood in injury occurrence. Participants were 115 athletes, members of specialization programs, who were administered the Psychological Inventory on Athletic Execution (IPED), Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT) and Profile of Mood States (POMS). Subsequent lesions were recorded over a period of 10 months. The results indicate that self-confidence and competitive trait anxiety were significant predictors of the number of injuries. Moreover, this relationship between injuries, anxiety and self-confidence is maintained when the effect of other variables is controlled. These results are discussed and a series of considerations at the applied level are proposed.</p><p> </p>
