The protocol was developed through a literature review and consultations with experts in sports psychology and career transition.\n\nMethods: The study will be conducted at the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Salamanca (Spain). High-performance athletes aged 30 or older who are close to retirement or who have retired in the last five years will be recruited. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: the intervention group, which will undergo a psychoeducational programme consisting of 12 sessions over 3 months; and the control group, which will receive a minimum educational programme of one session. All participants will complete initial and final assessments, as well as a 3-month follow-up, collecting sociodemographic data and applying various psychological, social and health assessment instruments.\n\nDiscussion: This protocol describes a comprehensive psychoeducational intervention aimed at improving quality of life and attitudes towards retirement from sport, increasing life satisfaction, psychological flexibility, perceived social support, general health, self-efficacy and self-regulation, and reducing negative stereotypes associated with the end of a sporting career. The evidence generated will guide future interventions, policies, and educational programmes to promote a healthy, active, and satisfying transition to the post-sport stage.",[63,64,65,66,67,68],"Sport Retirement","Psychoeducation","Retirement","Adaptation","Psychosocial Factors","Psychology","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-12-26",{"date":72,"type":73},"2025-12-31","ACTUAL",{"date":75,"type":57},"2026-02-01",{"date":77,"type":57},"2027-05-01",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
