Resumen

A descriptive analysis is made of the dual race (combining studies and sport) in Peruvian athletes who compete at an international level. The following results were obtained through a survey that collected personal data and information on the academic environment and sports career: the main difficulties in carrying out a dual career (DC) were time and economic issues of the students; most of the athletes did not receive any economic benefit from their study center, nor did they have a sports tutor; and a large number of athletes perceived DC as a difficult process to carry out. Regarding the family environment, the athletes considered the family as the most important social agent for the development of DC. Finally, regarding the data obtained on the expectations once the studies were completed, the main focus was on being able to work in what has been studied. In our opinion, due consideration is required of the data obtained for the development of programs, with a view to carrying out a successful dual career.
