- Abstract
Combine the learning process with sport is a difficult obstacle to overcome for many university students. This situation is usually aggravated because of the little support and the lack of specific guidance given to these students, leading them to situations of failure or dropout. For this reason, the analysis of the factors that are involved in the development of this dual activity constitutes a reference framework for university centers to plan preventive counseling and support actions. This was the main purpose of this study, conducted with a sample of university students of different degrees who practice top-level sport while were attending university. Four main factors were analyzed: adjustment to university life, difficulties and needs, support and assistance received in the training process and expectations for professional development. The conclusion reached was the need to consider in university education some support measures to integrate academic and sporting aspirations.
