ABSTRACT:
This study addressed the relationship between psychological mood state patterns and the incidence of injury in what many perceive to be a high-risk athletic group, the collegiate rodeo performer. Following informed consent, precompetitive and noncompetitive psychological vigor (VIG) scores were determined from completed inventories of the Profile of Mood States (POMS; McNair, Lorr & Droppleman, 1971). Other variables identified by the POMS included tension (TEN), depression (DEP), fatigue (FAT), confusion (CON) and total mood disturbance (TMD). The test was administered to 99 male collegiate rodeo athletes in the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) Southern Region. Tests were completed immediately prior to competition and during nonparticipation time. Injury data concerning etiology, incidence and anatomical region were concomitantly compiled by medical diagnosis by attending physicians, hospital records, self-reporting by athletes and the investigator's field evaluation during each rodeo. Pearson product correlation revealed no significant association (p less than .05 between any mood state variable prior to competition and the incidence of upper body injuries, lower body injuries, or total injuries among the collegiate rodeo athlets observed and tested. Significant inverse relationships were found between both the number of lower body injuries (p less than .007) and total body injuries (p less than .02) and non-competitive baseline vigor, indicating that as the number of injuries increased there was a corresponding decrease in non-competitive vigor. A more pronounced relationship was found among non-competitive baseline variables and number of injuries than between precompetitive variables and injury occurrence. In conclusion, results indicate that a relationship may exist between incidence of athletic injury and vigor-arousal state of athletes involved in high collision, non-traditional sports.
