Brief summary: The sporty performance exhibited by an athlete faces physiological, biomechanical and psychological activity of the athlete. It depends on both the psychological state and the elevation of the musculoskeletal system to a certain level so that the athlete can perform optimally and excellently. For this reason, we aimed to evaluate the musculoskeletal system pain of amateur and professional athletes in different disciplines and the psychosocial states such as sports confidence, depression and quality of life.

Detailed description: This study consists of 160 sportsmen who are participating in sports by doing sports in soccer, basketball, volleyball, athletics, table tennis, field tennis, kickboxing and archery branches between the ages of 15 and 36. The Expanded Scandinavian Muscle Skeleton Questionnaire (NMQ) and Visible Analogue Scale (VAS) will be used to identify and assess the symptoms of musculoskeletal discomfort as 'pain'. The participant will be evaluated with the algometer for identifying their pain threshold, the sporty trust will be questioned with the Sporty Trust Continuous Inventory, and the Quality of Life will be assessed with the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Short Form and Depression will be evaluated with Beck Depression Inventory.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* The athletes and their coaches must be voluntary and willing.
* During the evaluation, the athletes must give careful and relevant answers to the measuring instruments.
* They have to actively run the sport they belong to.
* The dominant upper extremity should be the right side.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Having undergone a surgical operation due to sports injuries in the last 3 weeks
* The athletes do not want to answer the surveying instruments
