This study was designed to determine if life stress is predictive of athletic injury among male and female participants in intercollegiate noncontact sports. The Athletic Life Experiences Survey (ALES) was administered to 86 athletes from the sports of baseball, softball, tennis, and track before the start of the season. After the administration of the ALES, injury frequency and severity were recorded for all practices and contests. The results indicated that total life change (TLC) and negative life change (NLC) were significant (p less than .05) predictors of athletic injury frequency. When partitioned by sex and sport, females and track athletes showed significant (p less than .05) predictive relationships, with TLC the significant predictor for females and object loss (OL) for track athletes. No significant predictive models were found for severity of injury. These results suggest that life stress is predictive of the frequency of injury among noncontact sport participants, particularly for track and female athletes.
本研究旨在确定生活压力是否能预测大学校际非接触性运动中男女参与者的运动损伤情况。在赛季开始前，对来自棒球、垒球、网球和田径项目的86名运动员进行了运动生活经历调查（ALES）。在进行ALES调查后，记录了所有训练和比赛中的受伤频率和严重程度。结果表明，生活变化总量（TLC）和负面生活变化（NLC）是运动损伤频率的显著（p小于0.05）预测因素。按性别和运动项目划分时，女性和田径运动员显示出显著（p小于0.05）的预测关系，TLC是女性的显著预测因素，而田径运动员的显著预测因素是物品丢失（OL）。未发现与损伤严重程度相关的显著预测模型。这些结果表明，生活压力可预测非接触性运动参与者的受伤频率，尤其是田径运动员和女性运动员。
