The statistical population included all the running athletes, of which 235 people were randomly selected as the research sample. To collect data, Connor and Davidson&#39;s (2003) resilience questionnaires and Playter&#39;s (1995) sports motivation and questions about having an injury in the last 12 months were used, and the data were analyzed by Pearson&#39;s correlation and path analysis.</span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><b>Results:</b> The results showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between resilience and intrinsic and extrinsic motivation with the incidence of injury. The results of the path analysis using the bootstrap method also showed that the internal and external motivation variables play a mediating role in the relationship between resilience and injury occurrence in runners and the presented conceptual model has a good fit. These findings suggest two pathways through which resilience can prevent injury in athletes.</span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><b>Conclusion:</b> This study shows that runners with a high level of motivation and resilience are associated with a lower number of injuries</span></span></span><br> &nbsp; Damage, Internal and external Motivation, Resilience 101 112 http://intjmi.com/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-592&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Media Raeiss Dana 10031947532846006741 0009-0008-7029-0775 Yes Master of General Psychology, Azad Islamic University of Tehran, Iran.
