Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the sports injury anxiety questionnaire. 237 male athletes from individual and team sports including freestyle and Roman wrestling, taekwondo, badminton, football, basketball, athletics, wushu, karate, judo, fitness, skiing, volleyball and some sporadic athletes from other fields were selected by available sampling. Their average sport record was 32 ± 1 years, and age was 55± 10 years. After translation into Persian and confirmation by several specialists, the questionnaire, was presented to athletes, and then it was analyzed. Exploratory factor analysis showed that the eigenvalues were as: the first factors 5/876, the second factor 2/101, the third 2/028, the fourth 1/ 267, the fifth 1/155, and the sixth factor 1/ 114. The percentage of cumulative variance was 56/ 420 In total, so that the percentages of variance were 24 /482percent for Loss of athletic ability, 8/ 754percent for discouraging certain people from person, 8/ 450percent for re-injury, 5/ 280percent for poor perception of oneself, 4/812 percent for the loss of social support, and 4/642 percent for disorders of self-concept,,respectively. Model fitting indices by confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the chi-square value equal to 553 /40, at the significant level was p = 0/0, which was (276) away from the degree of freedom independent. The ratio of chi-square to degree of freedom was 3543/96. The comparative fit index was equal to (0/90) and normative fit index was equal to (0/84) and root mean square error of estimate was (0/078). In general, all the indicators of the model were favorable. Internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha was 0/853, which is acceptable and desirable.
