Abstract

This review article focuses on the correlation between life satisfaction and physical health among retired female athletes during their post-career life. Combining a thorough literature review, this article highlights growth factors relevant to life satisfaction and physical health after retirement. Research findings reveal that this association is quite intricate, and psychological, behavioral, and social factors all play major roles in influencing these elements. However, understanding this relationship is very important for the health of retired female athletes. The findings underline the significance of goal-oriented policies that should be used to help female athletes adapt to retired life and maintain, or even improve, their quality of life. Nevertheless, further efforts must be made to fill the gaps in this research review and construct better strategies for the optimization of retirement benefits offered to retired female athletes.
