| Popis: | The child in high-performance sport is one who has superior athletic talent; is subjected to long, arduous training programmes and early, intense competition schedules involving great sacrifice, effort and in many instances social isolation; receives expert coaching and support from sport scientists and medical staff; and, in many cases, is exposed to training camps and international travel away from family and friends. Child athletes are a unique athlete population who have different emotional, physical and social needs that vary depending on the athlete’s particular stage of maturation. They demand specific and appropriate training programmes, expert coaching and support from a variety of services and appropriate competition schedules that ensure a safe and healthy athletic career, which promotes a future healthy lifestyle and well-being. |
