Goal setting,however,was not directly associated with the reduction of negative psychological consequences.Other psychological techniques such as microcounseling skills,acceptance and commitment therapy,and written disclosure have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing negative psychological consequences,improving psychological coping,and reducing re-injury anxiety.Our findings suggest a significant need to develop and implement well-designed intervention studies that target improvement of post-injury psychological outcomes in order to assist injured athletes successfully recovery from sport injury.展开更多
