description The aim of the study was to test whether different levels of motivation are related to the injuries suffered by elite athletes. The sample consists of 80 professional handball players of ASOBAL League, with a mean age of 24.83 years (+ 5.21). Motivation was assessed through the CPRD scale (Gimeno, Buceta & Pérez-Llantada; 1999) and a self-report questionnaire was used to register sports injuries. The results indicate that there is a relationship between motivational levels and the risk for injury. Specifically, players with high motivated players had a greater number of moderate injuries. Although it may seem paradoxical, it is possible that an excessively high motivation leads to overachievement and risk behaviors, which in turn facilitate the appearance of lesions.

El objetivo de este estudio fue comprobar si diferentes niveles de motivación se relacionan con las lesiones sufridas por deportistas de alto rendimiento. Participaron en el estudio 80 jugadores profesionales de balonmano de la liga ASOBAL, con una edad media de 24,83 años (+ 5,21). Para la evaluación de la motivación se utilizó la escala de Motivación del Cuestionario de Características Psicológicas relacionadas con el Rendimiento Deportivo (CPRD) de Gimeno, Buceta y PérezLlantada (1999) y para el registro de las lesiones deportivas se utilizó un cuestionario de autoinforme. Los resultados indican que existe relación entre los niveles motivacionales del jugador y el riesgo a sufrir lesiones. Concretamente, los jugadores con niveles altos de motivación presentan un mayor número de lesiones moderadas. Aunque puede parecer paradójico, es posible que una motivación excesivamente alta pueda producir conductas de sobreesfuerzo y de riesgo, que faciliten la aparición de lesiones. Quizá, las altas demandas de la situación competitiva en el deporte profesional hacen que los jugadores muestren niveles excesivamente altos de motivación, y que esto provoque la ejecución de conductas de riesgo que desemboquen en lesiones deportivas.
