About this trial

Anxiety, or anxiety disorder, is a common occurrence today. Studies have proven that sports have a high potential for stress and anxiety. Among the reasons for its prevalence in athletes are performance pressure, public scrutiny, dissatisfaction with athletic careers, injuries, and harassment and abuse in sports. Anxiety can negatively impact performance and competition results. However, the relationship between anxiety and performance has not been fully established. Studies on the relationship between anxiety and injury in athletes are also increasing. However, studies examining injury history and sports anxiety levels in individuals who regularly perform conditioning exercises are lacking.

Based on our literature review, our study will ask individuals who regularly engage in conditioning training about their injury history. Participants will be divided into two groups: those with and those without injuries. The two groups will be compared in terms of their sports anxiety and fear of injury, and their knowledge of the factors that contribute to injuries in sports will be measured.
