injury: injury onset, rehabilitation and return to sport. Participants consisted of
male (n = 7) and female (n = 2) participants comprising of: football players (n = 5),
climbers (n = 2), athletes (n = 1) and rugby players (n = 1). Semi-structured
interviews were used to explore the factors which impacted on confidence during
the three phases of injury. Analysis of the data identified a number of factors
affecting confidence from each phase. The most prevalent factors which emerged
from the study were: injury history (onset), time spent out injured (rehabilitation)
and progression of fitness (return).
