Dual Career of European Student-Athletes: A systematic literature review

Description

The study provides a systematic review of scientific contributions on the dual career (DC) of European student-athletes, focusing on the interplay between elite sports and education. Analyzing 49 studies published between 2007 and 2014, it identifies emerging academic discussions, methodological challenges, and a notable lack of research on interpersonal support factors. The findings emphasize the need for cross-national comparisons and a multidisciplinary approach to enhance understanding and policy actions regarding the dual career framework.
