This research project seeks to investigate the transformations in human interactions caused by the increasing use of digital technologies, focusing on adolescent athletes in individual sports. The research will examine how these interactions may be being amputated in their emotional and social depth due to the predominance of virtual environments. Adopting a participatory research approach, data will be collected from 189 male adolescents, aged between 16 and 18, through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The literature review explores the theoretical bases of digital communication, emotional and social impacts, as well as discussions about identity and interpersonal relationships in the virtual context. It is expected to contribute to the understanding of human dynamics in contemporary times and propose reflections on the balance between online and face-to-face relationships.
