On the injury history form, the participants were asked to indicate if they had ever sustained an ankle sprain and, if yes, to describe how many. FABQ scores ranged from 0 to 66 with higher scores representing greater fear.<jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold><\/jats:italic>: Athletes with a history of recurrent ankle sprains (median, 28.00; interquartile range, 18.25\u201338.00) reported higher levels of fear than those with a history of a single ankle sprain (21.00; 8.00\u201331.00;<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.03; effect size\u2009=\u20090.199) and healthy controls (5.50; 0.00\u201325.00;<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt; .001; effect size\u2009=\u20090.431).

These findings suggest that ankle sprains in general may increase injury-related fear and that those with a history of recurrent sprains are more
