Pain is modulated by multiple factors. A relevant psychological process peculiar to athletes and which could be associated with pain is Psychological Readiness to Return to Sport (PRRS). The analysis of this association in competition context is particularly important.
To determine the correlation between the PRRS and pain intensity in elite volleyball players during their participation in a continental sporting event.
A cross-sectional study was conducted. Data from 107 male volleyball players (23.50 ± 4.08 years of age) participating in the South American Volleyball Championship were used. The athletes answered a self-report questionnaire on the day the championship began regarding their history of injuries in the previous six months. The athletes who declared injuries were asked about the current pain intensity using the Pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and Psychological Readiness to Return to Sport using the Injury-Psychological Readiness to Return to Sport scale (I-PRRS).
43.93% ( = 47) of the athletes (23.70 ± 3.54 years) reported an injury in the six months prior to the championship. They presented a median on the NRS of three (interquartile range (IQR), 2-5), and 54 (IQR, 46-58) on the I-PRRS. The Spearman's Rho correlation test showed an inversely and moderate correlation (r = -0.36; = 0.011; CI: -0.64--0.08) between pain intensity and PRRS.
In male elite volleyball players who participate in a Continental Championship in South America, higher levels of PRRS was correlated to lower pain intensity.
疼痛受多种因素调节。运动员特有的一个相关心理过程，可能与疼痛有关，即心理准备重返运动（PRRS）。在比赛环境中分析这种相关性尤为重要。
在南美排球锦标赛期间，确定精英排球运动员的 PRRS 与疼痛强度之间的相关性。
进行了一项横断面研究。使用了参加南美排球锦标赛的 107 名男性排球运动员（23.50 ± 4.08 岁）的数据。在锦标赛开始的当天，运动员通过自我报告问卷回答了他们在过去六个月内的受伤史。对于宣布受伤的运动员，使用疼痛数字评分量表（NRS）和损伤-心理准备重返运动量表（I-PRRS）询问他们当前的疼痛强度。
43.93%（=47）的运动员（23.70 ± 3.54 岁）在锦标赛前六个月报告受伤。他们的 NRS 中位数为 3（四分位距（IQR），2-5），I-PRRS 中位数为 54（IQR，46-58）。Spearman rho 相关检验显示疼痛强度与 PRRS 呈负相关和中度相关（r = -0.36；=0.011；CI：-0.64--0.08）。
在参加南美的洲际锦标赛的男性精英排球运动员中，PRRS 水平越高，疼痛强度越低。
