Main Article Content
Sport addiction is a behavioral disorder in which the individual exhibits dependence on exercise despite pain, fatigue, and injuries, among other manifestations. This study aims to systematically explore and synthesize the scientific literature on sport addiction from a sociohistorical, clinical, and cultural perspective, focusing on its etiology, diagnosis, and prevalence. A qualitative and exploratory approach is employed, using documentary research methods, including its digital variant, to analyze specialized literature. The findings and conclusions suggest that, according to current studies—and despite the presence of comorbid conditions that may trigger it—sport addiction requires specialized attention to mitigate its symptoms and help athletes cope with the consequences on their physical and mental health.
