Cases of abuse and/or maltreatment have always occurred within sport enviroments, but they were considered as isolated incidents and sometimes even normalized or seen as advantageous for enhancing performance.

I casi di abuso e/o maltrattamento si sono sempre verificati all'interno dei contesti sportivi, ma venivano considerati eventi "sporadici", spesso "normalizzati" o ritenuti utili per migliorare la prestazione. Nonostante la ricerca sul tema abbia dimostrato come la violenza esista in tutte le sue forme e a tutti livelli, sono ancora pochi gli studi in ambito sportivo che indagano i fattori concomitanti allo sviluppo del fenomeno e alle sue caratteristiche. Questo limita la diffusione di standard internazionali basati su evidenze empiriche che possano guidare nella prevenzione e nel contrasto del fenomeno. L'articolo ha l'obiettivo di descrivere le diverse forme di abuso che possono essere perpetrate nello sport su giovani atleti, fornendo un quadro generale delle direttive e delle normative Europee ad oggi presenti in materia di tutela dei minorenni nello sport.

Abstract
Cases of abuse and/or maltreatment have always occurred within sport enviroments, but they were considered as isolated incidents and sometimes even normalized or seen as advantageous for enhancing performance. Despite the body of research revealing the pervasive nature of violence in all its manifestation and across all levels in sport, there are still few studies that investigate the factors concomitant to the development of the phenomenon and its characteristics. This deficiency delays the dissemination of internationally recognized standards grounded in empirical evidence, which could serve as guidance to prevent and counter the phenomenon. This article aims to describe the various forms of child abuse in sport, offering an overview of the existing European directives and regulations aimed at safeguarding minor participating in sports.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
