Extreme sport participation and injury rates have increased in recent decades. This study aimed to investigate sub-dimensions of impulsivity and sensation seeking that contribute to participation and injury risk in extreme sports.
Data included cross-sectional survey responses from 7,109 college students ( = 19.68, = 2.31).
This study utilized path analysis to investigate sub-dimensions of sensation seeking and impulsivity as predictors of extreme sport participation and injury across 3 models.
Results of the final model identify risk seeking and lack of perseverance as the two strongest predictors of extreme sports injury, risk seeking, experience seeking, and lack of premeditation as the strongest positive predictors of extreme sports participation, and lack of perseverance as the strongest negative predictor of extreme sports participation.
These results will contribute to targeted prevention and intervention efforts for extreme sports injury among young adults based on identified individual personality factors.
近几十年来，极限运动的参与度和受伤率都有所上升。本研究旨在调查冲动性和感觉寻求的子维度，这些因素会影响极限运动的参与度和受伤风险。
数据包括来自7109名大学生的横断面调查回复（平均年龄=19.68岁，标准差=2.31）。
本研究采用路径分析，在3个模型中调查感觉寻求和冲动性的子维度，作为极限运动参与度和受伤情况的预测因素。
最终模型的结果表明，冒险寻求和缺乏毅力是极限运动受伤的两个最强预测因素，冒险寻求、体验寻求和缺乏预谋是极限运动参与度的最强正向预测因素，而缺乏毅力是极限运动参与度的最强负向预测因素。
这些结果将有助于基于已确定的个体人格因素，针对年轻人极限运动损伤进行有针对性的预防和干预。
