Rédigée en 1936, cette définition ne vaut plus qu'en partie. «Camp d'entraînement» désigne maintenant cette période au cours de laquelle des athlètes d'une même discipline se remettent en forme et recouvrent leurs réflexes, après une période de repos, en prévision de la saison régulière. On utilise parfois le terme pour désigner un camp en préparation d'une compétition importante; cependant, dans ce cas, il faudrait lui préférer «camp pré-compétition» car les athlètes sélectionnés pour ce genre de rencontres sont habituellement en forme, donc entraînés, au moment de s'y présenter. De tels camps se tiennent, soit à la campagne, soit à la ville, mais là où il y a des installations propices à la pratique de la discipline sportive en question. 3, record 2, French, - camp%20d%27entra%C3%AEnement
