The aim of study was to investigate the effects of sports injuries on the age, sex, and total number of injuries sustained by athletes in a year due to sports injuries. A total of 333 volunteer athletes, including 148 women and 185 men, aged 18 to 34 years were included in the study. For statistical analysis, an independent T test was used when binary groups were compared, a ANOVA test when more than two groups were compared, and a Tukey test of post hoc tests to determine which groups differed from the others. When comparing the Sports injuries anxiety scale (SIAS) by age and gender, differences in the subdimensions of suffering anxiety were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). When comparing by total number of injuries in a year, differences in the subdimensions of fear of loss of ability, fear of poor perception, fear of pain, fear of loss of social support, and fear of re-injury were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). No statistically significant differences were found for the other sub-dimensions (p>0.05). Consequently, anxiety after sports injuries is a multifactorial phenomenon influenced by many reasons.
