Introduction: There are many benefits in engaging in sports activities for all age groups. However, a possible risk in sports are injuries. Sports injuries can have not only physical but also psychological consequences for injured athletes. Objective: The main aim of the research was to examine the relationship between psychological health and sports injuries among athletes in aquatic sports. Method: 25 athletes, i.e. water polo players and swimmers, from two Croatian swimming clubs average age 21.5 years (range 18 to 35) have participated in the cross-sectional study. The respondents completed a series of self-assessment questionnaires: a sociodemographic questionnaire consisting of personal data and data related to sport and sports injuries, the Brief Symptom Inventory and the Ways of coping questionnaire. Results: Eighty-four percent of athletes tested had at least one sports injury, of which 66% had repeated injuries. The frequency of injury is not related to sociodemographic characteristics. In general, athletes have good psychological health. Those who spend more time in training have a significantly higher degree of mental health problems. Respondents with repeated injuries use significantly less often social support and positive coping strategies. Conclusion: The examined athletes show good psychological health, although they often have sports injuries. Future research should involve a greater number of athletes and examine the competition level and time of injury.
