摘要

Abstract: Using literature review and logical analysis, this study systematically dissects the multidimensional challenges faced by college student-athletes in balancing academics and training. It explores the dilemmas and breakthrough pathways for achieving balanced development in both areas under the framework of sports-education integration. Findings reveal four primary constraints—institutional rigidity, fragmented management, resource scarcity, and cultural conflicts—that severely hinder the holistic development of college student-athletes. The study proposes a three-pronged approach to establish a “tripartite” support system for academic-training balance:implementing flexible and personalized institutional reforms, developing an integrated “academic-training” collaborative management platform, and providing precision academic support alongside scientific training safeguards. Conclusions indicate that resolving this imbalance requires coordinated reforms in institutional frameworks, management practices, and resource allocation to build a flexible support system centered on students’ holistic development.
