Summary

This study looks at how retired rhythmic gymnasts adjust after leaving competitive sport. Researchers will survey 100 retired female gymnasts aged 18 and older about their body image and how strongly they still feel like athletes. The goal is to understand what helps or hinders a healthy transition after retirement.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could point toward better support programs to help retired athletes adjust emotionally after their careers end.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks at relationships between factors, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all retired athletes.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Are aged ≥18 years. * Are female. * Have practiced rhythmic gymnastics during their competitive stage at any competitive level. * Are retired from competitive practice at the time of participation. * Are able to report the time elapsed since retirement and the type of retirement (voluntary or involuntary). * Agree to participate by providing informed consent and completing the online survey.
