Sports detraining is necessary for former athletes to be able to physiologically guide the functioning of their body.
Sports detraining proposes a pedagogical, planned and dosed process so that no negative effects occur in the athlete's body as a result of this rapid decrease in organic work capacity.
Detraining at the end of an active sporting life brings benefits to the physical and mental health of the high-performance athlete; however, not everyone does. Hence the need to investigate whether the knowledge they receive on the subject from the basic categories is sufficient to prepare them for that moment.
High performance athletes are systematically subjected to great physical overloads to reach the level necessary to achieve results. This level of demand, far from being healthy for the organism, acts as a large scale aggression-stimulus, since in most cases they work at the limit of human possibilities. But withdrawal from active practice, far from alleviating the overexploitation of the body, constitutes a greater danger of not being cared for correctly. Abruptly stopping exercise acts as an incentive for other health complications, including the risk of death.
