During which phase do athletes typically react to their rehabilitation process?

Athletes typically react to their rehabilitation process during the phase of "Reaction to rehab." This stage involves the athlete's emotional and psychological responses as they engage in the rehabilitation program after an injury. During this time, athletes may experience a range of feelings, including frustration, anxiety, or motivation, as they work through the challenges of recovery. It’s important for athletes to understand this phase because their attitudes and behaviors towards rehabilitation can significantly impact their recovery outcomes.

The other phases mentioned do not specifically address the rehabilitation process. "Reaction to injury" relates to the immediate emotional response following the injury, while "Reaction to return to competition" focuses on the feelings and concerns an athlete may have about returning to play. The "Termination of sports career" phase involves the end of an athletic career, which is quite distinct from the rehabilitation process. Thus, the most relevant phase for understanding reactions during recovery is indeed the reaction to rehab.
