An Analytical Study of Fear Levels after Returning from Sports Injury in Gymnastics for Female Students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, Thi Qar University

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the levels of fear after returning from sports injury among female students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences at Dhi Qar University, who practice gymnastics, which is a sport characterized by complex movements and requires high balance and precise skills, which makes them more susceptible to injuries. The study focused on the psychological aspects associated with the injury, especially feelings of fear that may hinder a full return to normal functioning. The researcher used the descriptive method in his survey method, and the sample included (75) female students who had suffered previous injuries. A special scale for fear was built after returning from injury, and it went through several stages of scientific judging, honesty and consistency tests. The results showed that there were varying levels of fear in the affected female students, indicating the need for psychological support programs during the rehabilitation stages. The study recommends the importance of integrating psychological rehabilitation into training programs to reduce the effects of fear and improve the quality of sports return.
