Depending on the type of variable, mean and standard deviation or absolute and relative counts were used.Results: One hundred twenty two athletes were included, 56% were men, the whole group had an average age of 20 years. 74% of sports were played outdoors; soccer was the most frequent sport. 75% of participants trained four or more times per week and 55% did so in hours with very high RUV. 27% of athletes reported between 1 to 3 insolations in childhood.
