[Peak performance athletes speak with physicians about common problems--a panel discussion].
The sports-physician sees the necessity of a holistic view resulting out of the wishes of top ranking athletes in contrast to a quick temporary recovery of unsatisfying duration. On the other hand one must consider the short active period of the athlete and adapt less time consuming diagnosis and therapy. The sports-physician has to be aware of the stressfield resulting out of a polarity of "immediate" versus "perfect" therapy, and national and economic interests. This means an everlasting inner conflict for the sports-physician. Holistic view means also to consider the personal and the professional development. This is important in children-sports especially to prevent the loss of a playful and funny dimension and to offer different kinds of sports. Without the ambition of the parents there will be no children top ranking sports. Exaggerated parents ambitions however want cautious medical interference. There is still a big lack in permanent psychohygienic care for top athletes reaching from professional training, social contacts to mental training and/or psychotherapeutical dimensions. A permanent, interested, integrative cooperation between sports-medicine, science of sports, psychology of sports, organisation and last but not least athletes themselves leads not only to better results but also to better human value of every day life before, during and post active period.
