| Summary: | The objective of this article is to make a phenomenological approach to the so-called Postconventional Sports Improvement, aimed at prolonging the maximum performance; that is, towards the possibility of maintaining optimal performance for longer, overcoming the natural physiological decline and affecting, in a certain way, the right of athletes in training to enjoy the advantages of belonging to this elite, in terms of honor, status, and the growing economic stimuli offered by professional sport. To do this, a theoretical approach is made to post-conventional Sports Improvement, defined as the use of biotechnological attachments with the ability to produce bodily transformations to increase performance. Then, the concepts of limit and risk are investigated from a psychological perspective, aimed at the idiosyncrasies of the athlete, and analyzed how individual preferences and their evolution originate and sustain. Later, reference is made to profit sharing, the original idea of the field of biomedical research and linked to performance sport, as some of its advances are exploited there. Finally, the concept of justice is retaken to understand the relationship between professional sport, its benefits and the notion of frugality. |
