Abstract
A questionnaire was created to analyze this predisposition (Injury Proneness Questionnaire - IPQ), considering individual (age, gender) and cognitive factors (e.g. reasoning, visuospatial, attention). The IPQ was presented to 464 participants and demonstrated good reliability. Injury risk decreased with age, varied with gender, and increased with higher cognitive skills.
