Abstract

Objective: To outline the skin profile of sports participants and assess their search for guidance from healthcare professionals regarding skin care. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, quantitative study. Results: Among the sports participants who received guidance, only 16% used sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 30 or higher, whereas 80% of those who did not receive guidance did not use sunscreen during sports practice (p<0,001). Conclusion: Professional guidance on skin care may promote greater adherence to photoprotection practices, emphasizing the importance of sunscreen rather than relying solely on sun-protective clothing.
