Relationship of life stress to injury in intercollegiate volleyball.
TLDR
No relationship was found between life stress and injury, indicating that previous findings for football players were not duplicated for intercollegiate volleyball players.Abstract:
The present study examined whether male and female National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I intercollegiate volleyball players with high life stress would be at greater risk for the occurrence of injury. Life stress was measured with the Social and Athletic Readjustment Rating Scale (SARRS) and the Athletic Life Experiences Survey (ALES). Regardless of how the data were analyzed (injured v noninjured, high stress v low stress, severity of injury), no relationship was found between life stress and injury, indicating that previous findings for football players were not duplicated for intercollegiate volleyball players. Also, different levels of coping resources among volleyball players did not mediate the life stress to injury rate but did differentiate injured from noninjured players.read more

Psychosocial antecedents of sport injury: Review and critique of the stress and injury model'
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-component theoretical model of stress and injury was developed to counter the narrow scope and atheoretical nature of early research, and Andersen and Williams (1988) developed a multiscale theoretical model for stress-injury.

Development and Validation of a Multidimensional Measure of Sport-Specific Psychological Skills: The Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28
TL;DR: In this article, confirmatory factor analysis was used as the basis for a new form of the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory (ACSI), which contains seven sport-specific subscales: Coping With Adversity, Peaking Under Pressure, Goal Setting/Mental Preparation, Concentration, Freedom From Worry, Confidence and Achievement Motivation, and Coachability.

Conjunctive moderator variables in vulnerability and resiliency research: life stress, social support and coping skills, and adolescent sport injuries.
TL;DR: The results indicate that social support and psychological coping skills are statistically independent psychosocial resources and that they operate in a conjunctive manner to influence the relation between life stress and subsequent athletic injury in adolescents.

Intrinsic risk factors and athletic injuries.
TL;DR: A complex network of risk factors for athletic injuries has been found and it has been shown that injury rates in athletes can be decreased by modifying coaching and efforts to prevent injuries can therefore be recommended.

TL;DR: This report defines a method which achieves etiologic significance as a necessary but not sufficient cause of illness and accounts in part for the time of onset of disease and provides a quantitative basis for new epidemiological studies of diseases.

The effect of social support in moderating the health consequences of unemployment.
TL;DR: It is argued that these study findings demonstrate the exacerbation of life stress by a low sense of social support, and health differences between supported and unsupported populations under stress are commonly interpreted as evidence that support buffers the effects ofLife stress.

A Historical View of the Stress Field
TL;DR: It is suggested that an experimental reevaluation of the concept of the non-specificity of pituitary-adrenal cortical response is a matter of particular strategic importance, if the authors are to move out of the present prolonged period of stalemate and confusion over stress theory and terminology.
