About this study

This project aims to elucidate the complexities of the preventive approach among young people involved in intensive sports activities, providing valuable recommendations to optimize their physical, mental, and social health both in the present and in the long term. The multidisciplinary skills of a team of researchers in sports science and health will contribute their recognized disciplinary expertise through international publications, as well as solid experience in the demands of elite sports, along with a commitment to transferring innovative knowledge toward a preventive approach to sports training.

The main objective is to determine whether a somatotype aligned with the discipline's expectations protects the athlete in terms of self-perception and, consequently, reduces health-risk behaviors. Secondary objectives will include linking somatotype, growth, psychological changes (self-perception), and the emergence of health-risk behaviors or injuries in these young athletes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determine whether a somatotype in harmony with the expectations of the discipline protects the athlete in terms of self-perceptions and, consequently, reduces risky behaviors for her health.

    frequency of occurrence of risky behavior depending on the somatotype of the athletes

    Measured: 2 times a year for up to 84 months of follow-up

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 1. How does the somatotype of athletes change over time and in response to training? Are these modifications uniform among athletes of the same sex practicing the same sport?

    The evolution of the somatotype of athletes over time and in response to training Relationship between athlete somatotype and growth acceleration at puberty Self-esteem and perception of physical appearance between athletes conforming and nonconforming to the ideal somatotype of their sport The prevalence of ACAD and excessive training practices among athletes with low self-esteem related to their physical appearance.

    Correlation between athletes' somatotype and their predisposition to health problems, such as eating disorders and sports injuries

    Measured: 2 times a year for up to 84 months of follow-up
