Psychometric properties of the risk, pain, and injury questionnaire in Chinese collegiate athletes and its relationship with locus of control.

Purpose

This study aimed to adapt the Risk, Pain, and Injury Questionnaire (RPIQ) to Chinese collegiate athletes and examine its reliability and validity.

Methods

Results
