Overview

Cross-sectional survey assesses health rights and safe sport perceptions in elite youth athletes, indicating significant awareness gaps.

Key Points

  • Most athletes felt their health rights were respected, but many expressed discomfort seeking mental health support.
  • Athletes characterized healthy sport as fun and safe, while unhealthy sport was linked to bullying and negativity.
  • Female athletes were more aware of interpersonal violence, yet male athletes reported greater discomfort with reporting it.
  • While 74% of athletes knew about IOC safeguarding services, significant knowledge gaps existed among female and non-English speaking athletes.
