To illustrate this scenario, the situation of nine French TLS in fencing and table tennis has been analyzed. Results show that there are significant differences between the TLS of the two sports. On the one hand, swordsmen combine their athletic practice with education well because they are aware of the need for professional development once they finish their sport career.

Para ilustrar esta realidad, se ha analizado la situación de nueve DAR franceses en esgrima y tenis de mesa. Los resultados muestran cómo existen diferencias significativas entre los DAR de ambos deportes. Por un lado, los tiradores de esgrima compatibilizan la práctica deportiva con su formación, ya que son conscientes de la necesidad de desarrollarse profesionalmente una vez finalizada su carrera deportiva. Esta situación es favorecida, principalmente, por la federación y por el ejemplo de otros deportistas. Por el contrario, los jugadores de tenis de mesa siguen un modelo monodeportivo, el cual se focaliza desde muy temprano en la práctica deportiva y deja a un lado la formación. Tanto la federación, los técnicos como los propios compañeros de equipo crean un ambiente en donde “salirse de la norma” implica un rechazo. Esta situación es analizada detenidamenteActividad Física y Deporte2010info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/10952/6428https://doi.org/10.12800/ccd.v5i14.283reponame:RIUCAM.
