N2  - CONTEXT: Few studies have examined psychological and emotional processes in injury rehabilitation from a longitudinal, theoretically framed perspective. <br><br>OBJECTIVE: This study explored the applicability of Reversal Theory to examine these processes. SETTING: University of Wales, Aberystwyth, UK. PARTICIPANTS: Three severely injured athletes; two were female (karate and judo) and one was male (hockey), aged 20 to 28. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Fortnightly interviews after participant's initial consultation with a sports therapist, until complete physical rehabilitation. <br><br>RESULTS: Supported the use of Reversal Theory in this context (eg, as a means of understanding the origins of athletes' emotional responses to injury and changes in these responses throughout rehabilitation). <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Suggestions for future research are made (eg, examining the consequences of emotional and metamotivational states for athlete behavior and recovery outcomes during rehabilitation).<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
