Most of the scientific literature concerning former high-level athletes is devoted to their professional retraining. There are comparatively few empirical studies dealing with their body representations and practices. Based on Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical framework, this article presents the results of an interview survey with 30 former high-level athletes. It shows that their relationships with their bodies result from their specific body trajectories, marked by family socialization and social background, sports socialization, injuries, and the possession of different forms of capital. In contrast to mondains, who have relatively stable body trajectories, oblates are marked by less homogeneous socialization and see their body trajectories divided between a form of personal dissatisfaction on the one hand and a feeling of saturation with their sport on the other.

大多数关于前高水平运动员的科学文献都致力于他们的职业再培训。很少有实证研究涉及他们的身体表征和实践。本文基于 Pierre Bourdieu 的理论框架，展示了对 30 名前高水平运动员的访谈调查结果。它表明，他们与身体的关系源于他们特定的身体轨迹，以家庭社会化和社会背景、体育社会化、受伤和拥有不同形式的资本为标志。与具有相对稳定的身体轨迹的mondains相比，扁圆形他们的特点是社会化程度较低，他们的身体轨迹被划分为一方面是个人不满，另一方面是对运动的饱和感。
