Why is the overall health of high-level athletes worrying?

First of all, the problem of worrying health status of high-level athletes in China may not be established. As a sports worker, I deeply realize that society is more sensitive to the health problems of athletes than ordinary people. For example, we often see this phenomenon. If a sports player is injured or sick, some people will say that it is not good to practice sports. In recent years, there have been some sudden deaths of athletes at home and abroad. Some people say that practicing sports even killed people. In fact, the probability of this kind of thing happening is extremely low, and the sudden death rate of athletes is far lower than that of ordinary people. So I think we should treat the health of athletes with fair standards and perspectives.

Secondly, there are some factors that are not conducive to the health of athletes in China. For example, taking stimulants, athletes' bad habits (compared with some athletes in developed countries, Chinese athletes lack self-discipline, which is mainly reflected in many aspects such as diet, drinking, work and rest, sexual behavior and so on. )。 Of course, these problems have deep-seated reasons. For example, the development system of our country is not perfect, the management mechanism is not in place, the management and health problems of athletes in sports schools (equivalent to high schools and technical secondary schools), the management of individual projects and teams is not in place, and the prejudice of our national team against sports workers is deeply rooted.

In fact, the physical and health conditions of professional athletes are far better than those of ordinary people, and the management and rest system of most professional teams is far stricter than that of ordinary units. Of course, we have to admit that the management level of different projects and teams varies greatly. Therefore, we should first treat the health problems of long-distance sports comprehensively, objectively and rationally.
