Abstract

The objective of this article is to make a phenomenological approach to the so-called post-conventional sports improvement, aiming at the prolongation of the maximum performance, that is to say, to the possibility of maintaining an optimal performance for more time, Surpassing the natural physiological decline and in some way limiting the right to athletes in training, the power to enjoy the advantages that it represents belonging to this elite, in terms of honor, status and the increasing economic stimulus offered by professional sport. First, a theoretical approximation is made to the Postconventional sports improvement, defined as the use of biotechnological attachments with the capacity to produce body transformations to increase performance. Then the concepts of limit and risk are investigated from a psychological perspective directed to the idiosyncrasy of the athlete, as well as how the "individual preferences" and their evolution originate and sustain. Later, it refers to the participation of benefits, the original idea of the field of biomedical research, linked to the sport of performance since a part of its advances are used there and finally, it retakes the concept of justice, to Understand the relationship between professional sport, its benefits and the notion of frugality.
