Sports and healthy lifestyles as contributing factors to the right to health 2016, para. 47
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- States should take steps to establish frameworks and minimum standards of care and protection for children participating in sports to protect them from the risks of abuse, overtraining and violence and should promote guidelines for healthy participation in sport at all levels for minors. They should ensure that children and adolescents have recourse to effective, safe and child-sensitive counselling, reporting and complaints mechanisms, in the event of health rights violations. Moreover, children should only engage in intensive training programmes and/or professional sport at ages when their cognitive development is sufficient for them to understand the concept and implications of competition, in order to avoid negative impacts on their early development.
