Abstract

Adolescents participate in sports for a variety of reasons. Some seem to enjoy participating in what some might consider very-high-risk or "extreme" sports activities. For some adolescents risk taking becomes pervasive and can be detrimental to normal health and development. The majority of adolescents will do well in the context of athletics, and the many positive benefits of regular physical activity and sports participation should be appropriately emphasized. However, a subset of adolescents may be at greater risk for adverse consequences. This article reviews the reasons for participation and attrition from sports, the phenomenon of thrill seeking in sports, certain risk-taking behaviors of athletes, and studies comparing health risk behaviors in athletes and non-athletes.

运动参与、冒险和健康风险行为。
青少年参加体育运动有各种各样的原因。有些人似乎喜欢参加一些可能被认为非常高风险或“极限”的体育活动。对于一些青少年来说,冒险行为变得普遍,可能有害于正常的健康和发展。大多数青少年在体育运动中会表现得很好,定期体育活动和体育参与的许多积极好处应该得到适当的强调。然而,一部分青少年可能面临更大的不良后果风险。本文综述了体育运动的参与和流失原因、体育运动中的寻求刺激现象、运动员的某些冒险行为,并对运动员和非运动员的健康风险行为进行了比较研究。
