Sport performance is the way in which sport participation is measured. It has different aspects, each of which has a
number of subcategories. Apart from these, there are some additional elements that are important in the training
process, such as nutrition, meal time and supplements, maintaining a healthy weight, hydration, rest and recovery,
satisfying body image and well-being. Aesthetician/Cosmetologist can be among the professionals who can be
important for the positive outcome of the training process. Massage, sauna, and cryotherapy are some methods which
can be used by athletes for recovering as quickly as possible and to be able for best performance for long periods of
time. Electrotherapy can be used for the improvement of strength, speed, physical condition and maximum endurance
and can increase the ability of red blood cells to deform and absorb more oxygen improving strength in high
performance exercise. Electrotherapy and microcurrent have positive effects on body composition by burning fat.
Additionally, depilation in sports, is recommended for a variety of reasons including body appearance, improving
hydrodynamics and aerodynamics by decrease resistance, the easier putting on sports clothes, cleaning of wounds,
easier massage to relax and regenerate muscles and better heat dissipation through the skin.
