Abstract
The aim of current study was to examine the components of the physical and psychological states for sport injury in Thai athletes by using the Exploratory Factor Analysis Participants were 248 Thai athletes who got sport injured (male = 162, female = 86). Most of them aged between 18 – 21 years old, from 23 sports. Purposive sampling was used to particularly select the sport injured athletes to participate in this study. Equipment used in this study were 1) the warmth imagery program (Bhasavanija & Kuan, 2017), and 2) the Measure of Physical and Psychological States for Sport Injury. The Intraclass Correlation Cronbach’s Alpha reliability value was .811 and the apart-7-day test-retest reliability value was .695 analysed by using the Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. This measure was developed by the Measure of Physical and Psychological States in Sports: MPPSS, Bhasavanija, Cherathammawat, Chobthamasakul, & Poompin, 2014), consisting of five components and 18 factors (F): Quality of Life, Confidence, Anxiety, Perception of Pain, and Perception of Muscle Tension.
Results were component 1 consisted of six factors (F14, F18, F17, F15, F16, F13). Component weight value ranged from 0.60 to 0.81, and Eigen value was 4.38. This component was named the Perception, as Pain experienced now, Tension experienced during treatment, Tension experienced now, Pain experienced during treatment, Tension experienced during sport, and Pain experienced during sport.
Component 2 consisted of four factors (F9, F11, F12, F10). Component weight value ranged from 0.64 to 0.77, and Eigen value was 3.43. This component was named the Confidence, as Confidence in domination, Belief in performance, Belief in physical and mental capacities, and Confidence in competition.
Component 3 consisted of four factors (F1, F2, F4, F3). Component weight value ranged from 0.51 to 0.77, and Eigen value was 1.81. This component was named the Quality of Life, as being able to practice as usual, still living normally, retained motivation to practice, and still being team empathy.
Component 4 consisted of two factors (F7, F6). Component weight value ranged from 0.69 to 0.89, and Eigen value was 1.37. This component was named the Anxiety (mental), as Fear to be mistaking in a game, and Fear to be unable to play a game.
Component 5 consisted of two factors (F8, F5). Component weight value ranged from 0.49 to 0.66, and Eigen value was 1.04. This component was named the Anxiety (physical), as Neck pain, and sleeping trouble.
