Abstract
Abstract The information about the reasons for sports career (SC) termination among athletes is of significant importance, as it provides a theoretical foundation to prevent early withdrawal. A sociological survey was conducted among 76 former male artistic gymnasts who have ended their careers to determine the causes of SC termination. As a result, 11 different reasons for SC termination were identified. The most frequent reasons include sports injuries (35.52%), mandatory military service (31.57%), and employment (25.0%). The least mentioned reasons are coach-related issues (5.26%), health problems (2.63%), and age (2.63%). The survey offers a broader understanding of why Armenian athletes terminate their sports careers. This insight will enable the governing bodies of Armenian gymnastics and sports to provide targeted assistance to adult artistic gymnasts, helping to prevent early withdrawal in the future.
