Abstract
The decision‐making process about when an athlete may safely return to training and
competition after an injury is a difficult decision. Safe return to training and competition is
characterised by physical and psychological readiness to return to the sport. The objectives of this
study are (1) to assess the measurement properties of the Psychological Readiness of Injured
Athlete to Return to Sport questionnaire (PRIA‐RS), and (2) to analyse the effectiveness which the
PRIA‐RS questionnaire possesses when applied during four consecutive seasons on professional
soccer players. One hundred and nine male soccer players from the Albacete Soccer Club (Spain)
were involved during four consecutive seasons for the current study: 2012–2013, 2013–2014, 2014–
2015 and 2015–2016. Psychometric analysis (validity, reliability, internal consistency and
effectiveness) and external psychometric analysis (evaluating measures of patient‐reported
outcomes (EMPRO)) were confirmed and supported. The main results of the study reveal that the
psychometric properties of this questionnaire are optimum for their application in a professional
sports context.
