Abstract

The writing was developed around sports law in the legal system in Colombia, which addresses the definitions of a professional athlete and a high level of experience, as well as labor protection promoted by different regulations and legislation in which different rights and duties are established for the activity of a professional athlete, although it is the case that progress and its protection as a true work activity are established, different guidelines are established in the formalization of employment contracts, social security protection, salary guarantees and regulation of the employment relationship between athletes and clubs when these are set, with which we seek to guarantee safe and adequate working conditions. However, it is of great importance that sporting activity takes a turn and seeks the protection of athletes in terms of their labor, salary and social security guarantees, since high-performance sport in the current and modern era is manifest as a social phenomenon is what is taken as a way of sustenance and vital development for many individuals who in this are a way of providing their daily sustenance. Due to the above, the intention of this work is directed towards the analysis of the Colombian legislative development, labor rights and social security surrounding the exercise of the activity as a professional athlete, in which concepts of professional or high-level sport are defined. rendezvous and the elements of the employment relationship in Colombia are identified with which this occupation could be considered a work activity which is rarely found in the Colombian legal system.
