Many athletes push themselves beyond their limits and sacrifice short-term well-being and long-term health for a chance at victory. Elite sport shapes a certain type of character: mentally and physically tough, and unrelenting in the pursuit of the marginal gains that separate champions from the second best. The difficult question, especially for elite sports, is, "How do managers, coaches, athletes, and members of the health team find the balance between protecting the athlete's health and pursuing athletic greatness?" In this Viewpoint, we offer 4 perspectives on the roles and responsibilities of sports physical therapists: (1) the care of, and ethical obligations to, the elite athlete, (2) decision making that is in the athlete's best interest, (3) building a working relationship with the athlete, and (4) supporting athletes who face end-of-career decisions. .
许多运动员为了获胜机会而超越自身极限，牺牲短期健康和长期健康。精英体育塑造了一种特定类型的性格：在追求冠军与第二之间的微小差距时，要有坚韧的精神和身体，并且不屈不挠。特别是对于精英运动来说，一个难题是，“管理者、教练、运动员和健康团队成员如何在保护运动员健康和追求运动卓越之间找到平衡？”在这篇观点文章中，我们提供了 4 个视角，探讨了运动理疗师的角色和责任：（1）照顾精英运动员并对其负有道德义务，（2）做出符合运动员最佳利益的决策，（3）与运动员建立工作关系，以及（4）支持面临职业末期决策的运动员。
