The relationship between self-determined motivation and injury risk in physical performance occupations and sports performance domains: a systematic review

Project: Other

Project Details

Description

Performance domains, whether in sports, the military, or various uniformed professional fields, are characterised by the constant risk of injuries that can have a significant impact on an individual's ability to excel and maintain overall well-being. Within this context, motivation, particularly the degree to which it is self-determined or intrinsic emerges as a critical factor that potentially influences individuals' behaviours, choices, and susceptibility to injuries. Despite the potential significance of motivation, a comprehensive systematic review exploring the relationship between motivation and injury risk in these domains has not been conducted to date.

Delving into the motivational continuum within performance domains and understanding how motivation has been measured previously will allow for better understanding of how motivation, at various levels and forms, interplays with injury risk. Additionally, through identifying potential cognitive and behavioral constructs that might explain this relationship, this has the capacity to inform future interventions that could help to mitigate injury risk.
