Sports and healthy lifestyles as contributing factors to the right to health 2016, para. 46
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Competitive sport is notable for being one of the few remaining areas within society that has largely failed to integrate human rights standards pertaining to children. In many sports, training must commence at a very early age in order for athletes to be competitive when reaching majority. Eating disorders are more prevalent in adolescents than in the general population, and are particularly prevalent among top athletes. Furthermore, a drift towards professionalism in competitive sport has been associated with compromises of the rights of child athletes, ranging from physical and emotional abuse through to doping, sexual violence and even the trafficking of child and adolescent athletes. The true extent of these problems is unknown, due to challenges in data collection and insufficient research.
