What Are the Different Types of Professional Athlete Training?
Professional athletes are athletes who take part in sports competitions as their profession and rely on their participation to earn a living income. Professional athletes generally have a fixed contractual relationship with a professional sports club, and can transfer between different clubs, and train and compete in the name of the club. Professional athletes earn basic salary, appearance fees, bonuses and other income by participating in commercialized professional competitions, and can earn advertising sponsorship income through the attention they receive during the competition process.

Professional athletes
- The earliest athletes engaged in sports were not professional or amateur. However, professional athletes began to appear from 388 BC to 146 BC. At the end of the 18th century, the so-called "amateur principle" was only proposed. This principle refers to those athletes who have been paid for competitions as professional athletes and are not allowed to participate in unpaid amateur competitions. In the 19th century, the "amateur principle" was established in Britain. The track and field community has the strongest opposition to professional sports. The track and field club established in London in 1876 formally incorporated the "amateur principle" into its charter. When the International Olympic Committee was established in 1894, the "amateur principle" was also written into the charter.
- When the "amateur principle" came into being, it was opposed by many people in the sports industry. They believe that this principle has caused inequalities in competitive sports and made many excellent athletes lose the possibility of participating in competitions. At the beginning of the 20th century, this principle was debated within the International Olympic Committee. Over the years, due to the development of society and the continuous improvement of sports technology, professional training in sports technology has become an important means to improve sports technology. Some international sports organizations have begun to relax restrictions on "amateurs", allowing some professional athletes to participate in major international competitions.
