Abstract
Introduction: Psychological characteristics among sports coaches can play an effective role in their behaviour and the possible injuries that result from it. In this regard, the present study aimed to Investigating the relationship between cognitive consequences of sports injuries and control behaviour and impulsivity of swimming coaches in Iraq.
Methods: The current research strategy is descriptive, correlational with an applied purpose. The statistical population was swimming coaches in Iraq and the required sample size was determined as 129 people using GPower software and based on the information entered, including the error rate of 0.05, precision of 0.95, medium effect size (0.15) and number of variables (4). The data collection tools were three standard questionnaires: Cognitive Consequences of Sports Injuries by Rokan Hassan et al. (2022), Coach Control Behavior by Bartholomew et al. (2010) and Impulsivity Scale by Barratt (1994). In addition to descriptive analysis, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson correlation test and linear regression test were used to analyze the data in SPSS version 23 software at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The results showed that the cognitive consequences of sports injuries are positively and significantly related to the control behavior of swimming coaches in Iraq (p=0.001, R=0.548) and negatively and significantly related to the impulsivity of swimming coaches in Iraq (p=0.001, R=-0.503).
Conclusion: The more information and knowledge swimming coaches have about sports injuries, the better control and supervision they will have over everything that happens in sports sessions and the less likely they will take rash and emotional actions.
