Prior Injury, Health-Related Quality of Life, Disablement, and Physical Activity in Former Women's Soccer Players.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Former collegiate athletes may be at risk for negative health outcomes such as lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL), greater disablement, and lower lifetime physical activity (PA) participation. A history of severe sport injury may play a role in these outcomes.

Objective

To assess the role of prior sport injury in self-reported HRQoL, levels of disablement, and PA behaviors of former National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I women's soccer players.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Online survey.

Patients or other participants

Former Division I women's soccer players (n = 382, age = 36.41 ± 7.76 years) provided demographics and injury history and completed the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (HRQoL)
