| Résumé : | Aim: The theme of " physical activity" and the " health of the very young" illustrates the ethical dilemma of Restraint for well-being. Current: In order to set out the possible ethical justifications of this constraint, we shall initially advance two diametrically opposed points of view: the opponents (Brohm, Partisans, Quel corps ?, Gleyse), and the partisans (Laure, Pes) of the idea whereby physical activity is intrinsically " virtuous" Secondly, the testimony of a very high level sportsman is invoked (Agassi) who was constrained to engage in intensive physical activity from the youngest age. Thirdly, using as a starting point the Principles of Biomedical Ethics (1979) by Beauchamp and Childress, we advance the ethical arguments (the principle of beneficence, paternalism...) which can underlie the fact of wishing to constrain the very young to pursue physical activity for their own good. © 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS. |
