Abstract

This paper reviews the literature on the current state of the art of sports psychology in the prevention and rehabilitation of sports injuries. After analysing a number of articles and reviews we found some methodological dispersion in addressing the issue. We observed that there are still few publications that include psychological interventions in the prevention and treatment of sports injuries. We suggest future lines for further progress in this field.
