Study Overview
Brief Summary
Introduction. Faced with the risk of injury relapse, and as athletes train and compete, they generate anxiety that limits their ability to push themselves to the maximum, influencing their performance.
Objectives. i) To identify the state and trait anxiety of non-professional athletes with previous hamstring injuries; ii) To evaluate the main prognostic factors of anxiety in these athletes; and iii) To analyze the best predictive model of anxiety in soccer players with previous hamstring injuries.
Material and method. Ambispective cross-sectional cohort study. 88 players will be recruited. The primary variable of the study will be anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), with the number of recurrences of the study injury being the dependent variable. The secondary variables, estimated as modifying or confounding, will be the main sociodemographic variables (age, type of school/work activity), clinical (number of hamstring injuries, number of relapses of injury in the same location, duration of injury in weeks, date of last injury), sports (weekly training load, seasons competing, regular starting line-up) and anthropometric (weight).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Assessment of anxiety
Time Frame: Screening visit
Anxiety will be evaluated using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. This scale will be used to measure the perception of anxiety of the patients included in the study. The state and trait of anxiety of each subject is evaluated with a score of 0 to 30 points for each scale, where a higher score indicates a higher anxiety index in the trait or state.
Secondary Outcomes
- Measurement of the date of the last hamstring injury(Screening visit)
- Measurement of the number of seasons that the soccer player has been competing(Screening visit)
- Assessment of the main sociodemographic variables(Screening visit)
- Measuring the number of hamstring injuries(Screening visit)
- Measurement of weekly training load(Screening visit)
- Assessment of the main anthropometric variables(Screening visit)
- Measuring the duration of hamstring injuries(Screening visit)
- Measurement of the footballer's regular starting position in the team(Screening visit)
