Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Thank you very much for the opportunity to review this research. It is indeed very interesting and necessary. 

I believe it can be published, but a number of changes need to be made first. 

-The theoretical framework contextualises the research problem very well. It is noted that most of the quotations are current. In addition, the thread is logical and coherent. As a point of improvement, I suggest breaking down the general objective. It is very broad, therefore the introduction of specific objectives helps to better understand the purpose of the study. Also, add the research hypotheses before the objectives.

The methodological section of the study is impeccable. Relevant sample data (body mass, height, etc.) are provided. It would be necessary to establish the inclusion and exclusion criteria, as these are nowhere to be seen. In addition, the study design is very well explained and provides a lot of detail. The data for de cohen's are not clear (Lines 268-269). 

In the limitations refer to the sample used. We do not know whether athletes from other countries have the same characteristics.
