The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity in retired athletes in Saudi Arabia. Seventy former athletes, aged from 20-60 years old, who had played in international and national competitions – and had since stopped competitive sport – were recruited for this study. Sports history, age, height, and weight were collected using an online questionnaire. The study results showed that 47.14% of the participants are overweight and 22.86% are obese. The results of this study indicated that many former athletes had high BMI after ceasing participation in competitive sport. Also, the results indicated that there is a significant difference between BMI before and after retirement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
