Abstract Various forms of violence against youth are documented in sport. To date, young athletes’ perceptions of violence in sport remain relatively unstudied. The objective of this study was to examine how violence and its various manifestations in sport have been understood by young athletes. In total, 60 athletes from a variety of sports and ages (12–17 years old) participated in nine semi-structured focus groups. The interview data were submitted to a thematic analysis using NVivo. Results obtained showed that various motivations for participating in sport influenced the ways in which young athletes addressed violence in this context. Additionally, the findings showed that violence in sport is a concept that young athletes partially understand. Even if most of them described various forms of violence in sport, some forms were misunderstood or have not been addressed at all. Finally, young athletes provided their own explanations of this issue in sport. From their perspective, violence in sport can be seen as part of the sport, a strategy to achieve competitive success on the field, a protective mechanism or a result of the valorisation of violence in sport by peers, parents, coaches and sport organisations. Considering that some young athletes normalised violence in sport, it seems crucial to make prevention efforts targeting social norms in sport.

“你有 60 分钟的时间去做你在现实生活中不能做的事情。你可以是暴力的”：年轻运动员对运动中暴力的看法

摘要 在体育运动中记录了各种形式的针对青年的暴力行为。迄今为止，年轻运动员对运动中暴力的看法仍未得到研究。这项研究的目的是检查年轻运动员如何理解运动中的暴力及其各种表现形式。总共有 60 名来自不同运动项目和年龄（12-17 岁）的运动员参加了九个半结构化的焦点小组。使用 NVivo 将访谈数据提交给主题分析。获得的结果表明，参与体育运动的各种动机影响了年轻运动员在这种情况下处理暴力的方式。此外，研究结果表明，运动中的暴力是年轻运动员部分理解的概念。即使他们中的大多数人描述了体育运动中的各种形式的暴力，有些表格被误解或根本没有得到解决。最后，年轻运动员对体育运动中的这个问题给出了自己的解释。从他们的角度来看，运动中的暴力可以被视为运动的一部分，一种在场上取得竞争成功的策略，一种保护机制或同龄人、父母、教练和体育组织对运动中暴力进行评估的结果。考虑到一些年轻运动员将运动中的暴力行为正常化，针对运动中的社会规范进行预防工作似乎至关重要。一种保护机制或同龄人、父母、教练员和体育组织在体育运动中对暴力进行评估的结果。考虑到一些年轻运动员将运动中的暴力行为正常化，针对运动中的社会规范进行预防工作似乎至关重要。一种保护机制或同龄人、父母、教练员和体育组织在体育运动中对暴力进行评估的结果。考虑到一些年轻运动员将运动中的暴力行为正常化，针对运动中的社会规范进行预防工作似乎至关重要。
