In order to analyze the data in this study, SPSS software version 23 was used.Results: The results show that competitive anxiety can explain sports injuries (musculoskeletal) in the first model. In the second model, when the somatic anxiety variable is added, competitive anxiety and somatic anxiety variables can explain sports injuries. In the final model, the factors of competitive anxiety, somatic anxiety, self-confidence, risk-taking, excitement, and aggression can explain sports injuries.Conclusion: It can be said that psychological factors play a role in the incidence of sports injuries (skeletal-muscular) of elite male volleyball players.
