An athlete's body plays an important role in their performance and well-being. However, game-relevant skills are better determinants of success, compared with physical fitness, in technically-driven team sports. In the professional era, over utilization of resources, in pursuit of physical optimization, can detract from time spent on priorities. Athletes' non-strategic, time-demanding focus on physical preparation/treatments resembles avian 'avoidance preening', whereby stressful situations trigger birds to excessively preen in place of more productive activities. The purpose of this commentary is to explore the behaviors of resource-rich professional teams and the roles of staff dedicated to optimizing physical performance, including circumstances that foster avoidance behavior and create the potential for practitioners to encourage co-dependent relationships with athletes. To cultivate healthy/productive environments, the following is recommended: I) recognition of non-productive avoidance behaviors; II) eschewing unjustified, fear promoting, pathoanatomical language; III) fostering collaborative approaches; IV) encouraging utilization of psychology services; V) recognizing that optimal physical function and feeling good is rarely the primary goal in professional team sports.
运动员的身体在其表现和健康方面起着重要作用。然而，在技术驱动的团队运动中，与比赛相关的技能比身体素质更能决定成功与否。在职业时代，过度利用资源以追求身体机能的优化，可能会减少花在优先事项上的时间。运动员对身体准备/治疗的非战略性、耗时的关注类似于鸟类的“回避式梳理”，即压力情境会促使鸟类过度梳理羽毛，而不是进行更有成效的活动。本评论的目的是探讨资源丰富的职业团队的行为，以及致力于优化身体表现的工作人员的角色，包括助长回避行为的情况，以及从业者鼓励与运动员建立相互依赖关系的可能性。为营造健康/高效的环境，建议如下：一）认识到非生产性的回避行为；二）避免使用不合理的、引发恐惧的病理解剖学语言；三）培养协作方法；四）鼓励利用心理服务；五）认识到在职业团队运动中，最佳身体机能和良好感觉很少是首要目标。
