Abstract
CERON-ENRIQUEZ, Norma. Particularities of physical training and control of risk factors in the transgender and gender-diverse population. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2023, vol.93, suppl.3, pp.13-17. Epub Dec 12, 2023. ISSN 1665-1731. https://doi.org/10.24875/acm.m23000088.
The transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) population holds significant relevance concerning exercise and sports practices. Specific challenges are highlighted, such as physical inactivity driven by internal and external reasons, including discrimination in sports environments. Psychological aspects and hormonal therapy effects create implications for hindering participation in sports competitions. Disparities in cardiovascular risk factors are also mentioned, emphasizing the need for inclusive sports policies based on scientific evidence. The article underscores the importance of addressing social, psychological, and medical aspects to promote the physical and mental health of the TGD population, particularly in the professional sports area.
