摘要：The present study investigated the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy using exposure technique on sports injury anxiety in a 21-year-old downhill cycling athlete. This quasi-experimental study was implemented with a single subject study and multi-baseline control with a 3-month follow-up. The data was measured using the Beck anxiety inventory, sport injury anxiety scale and a structured clinical interview. The data was analyzed in graph presentations and using the recovery percentage formula. The findings showed significant implications for the effect of exposure technique on athlete injury anxiety. The recovery percentage of the subject for reducing anxiety symptoms and injury anxiety was 71% and 49.5%, respectively. The statistical results and results of other studies suggest that the present study provides promising findings. As a result, psychologists should consider the exposure technique as a simple and inexpensive method of reducing injury anxiety in athletes.
