Componentes psicosexuales y pulsionales que estructuran la personalidad en atletas de alto rendimiento: rompiendo tabúes

Objective: The aim is to identify the psychosexual and instinctual components that shape the personality of high-performance athletes. Method: This research was based on a qualitative approach, with a systematic review conducted using the PRISMA method. The following databases were used: EBSCO, Scopus, SCIELO, Psycnet, Dialnet, PubMED, Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), Redalyc, and Dialnet. The key terms searched were: high performance, sport, personality, instinct, psychosexual. Twelve studies were selected based on the topic. Results: It has been emphasized that there are no studies on coital relationships and brain chemistry depletion, with taboos, prejudices, fears, religion, culture, and psychoemotional issues such as trauma being the triggers that create limitations to fully enjoying sexuality. Conclusion: Among the psychological, sexual, and instinctual components that construct the personality of high-performance athletes, factors such as inherited traits of introversion and extroversion, formative psychoactive experiences during the early years of life, starting with the maternal bond, followed by caregivers, and sequentially with the environment through socialization processes, language acquisition, culture, and environment are determinant. Additionally, certain individual prejudices such as religion, fear, and ignorance also play a role.
