ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of posture and sports experience on distance perception in Paralympic athletes with lower limbs disabilities. MethodsFrom May to August, 2019, athletes were selected from the wheelchair racing team (n = 19) and the wheelchair fencing team (n = 16) in Shanghai, China. The athletes were tested the relative distance perception and absolute distance perception using the successive equal-appearing distance and blind walking tasks. ResultsThe interaction effects between sport and posture (F = 4.118, P < 0.05), sports events and distance judgment (F = 8.913, P < 0.01), and posture and distance judgment (F = 11.894, P < 0.01) were significant; while the main effects of sport (F = 7.467, P < 0.01) and posture (F = 11.918, P < 0.01) were significant; the relative distance judgment accuracy was better in the athletes of wheelchair fencing than in those of wheelchair racing, and in standing posture than those in sitting posture. ConclusionThe relative distance judgment accuracy is better for the Paralympic athletes standing and playing wheelchair fencers. There was no significant difference in the accuracy of absolute distance judgment between the different postures and the different sports.
ABSTRACT
O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o nível de satisfação de atletas do futsal paranaense em função do tempo de experiência no esporte. Fizeram parte do estudo 75 atletas de futsal, do sexo masculino, com média de idade 25,31 anos (± 5,21 anos), de cinco equipes paranaenses participantes da Liga Nacional de Futsal 2013. Os instrumentos de pesquisa utilizados foram a ficha de identificação dos atletas e o Questionário de Satisfação do Atleta. Para análise dos dados foram utilizados os testes não paramétricos Friedman e U de Mann Whitney, adotando-se p<0,05. Foram verificados altos níveis de satisfação dos atletas; a dimensão dedicação pessoal foi a mais significativa (p<0,05). As dimensões treino-instrução e ética também foram destacadas pelos atletas (p<0,05). Foram encontrados menores níveis de satisfação nas dimensões desempenho da equipe, utilização da habilidade e orçamento (p<0,05). Os atletas pouco experientes (≤7 anos de prática) mostraram-se mais satisfeitos quando comparados aos atletas muito experientes (≥8 anos de prática) nas dimensões desempenho da equipe, integração na equipe e orçamento (p<0,05). Concluiu-se que o tempo de experiência no esporte é um elemento interveniente no nível de satisfação dos atletas de futsal, evidenciando que quanto maior o tempo de prática, maiores as exigências com questões relacionadas à equipe.(AU)
The aim of this study was to analyze the level of satisfaction of the Parana futsal athletes versus time of experience in the sport. Study participants were 75 indoor soccer players, male, mean age 25.31 years (± 5.21 years), Paraná five teams participating in the National Futsal League 2013. Survey instruments were used to record the identification of athletes and Athlete Satisfaction Questionnaire. For data analysis, nonparametric Friedman and Mann-Whitney U were used, adopting p <0.05. High levels of satisfaction of the athletes were checked; the dimension of "Personal Dedication" was the most significant (p <0.05). The dimensions of "Training and Instruction" and "Ethical" were also highlighted by the athletes (p <0.05). Lower satisfaction levels were found in the dimensions of "Team Performance", "Ability Utilization" and "Budget" (p <0.05). The less experienced athletes (≤ 7 years of practice) were more satisfied when compared to very experienced athletes (≥ 8 years of practice) in the dimensions of "Team Performance", "Team Integration" and "Budget" (p <0.05). We conclude that the length of experience in sports is an intervening element in the satisfaction level of indoor soccer, showing that the longer the duration of practice, the greater the demands on issues related to the team.(AU)

Este trabalho compara a percepção de atletas em formação desportiva (novatos) e em competição adulta (experientes), ao nível dos estilos de liderança dos treinadores, da compatibilidade com os treinadores e da satisfação com a liderança. Participaram 91 atletas do sexo masculino de andebol, incluídos na formação desportiva (n=59; "novatos") e competição (n=32; "experientes"). Foram usadas as seguintes medidas: Questionário Demográfico, Escala Multidimensional de Liderança no Desporto-2, Medida de Compatibilidade Treinador-Atleta e Questionário de Satisfação em Atletas. Devemos realçar dois resultados principais: os novatos avaliaram mais positivamente os estilos de liderança dos treinadores, evidenciaram maior compatibilidade treinador-atleta, e assumiram maior satisfação com a liderança; e as dimensões da liderança explicaram 32 por cento da variância associada à compatibilidade treinador-atleta nos novatos e 43 por cento nos experientes.
This work compares the perceptions of two groups of athletes (novice and experienced athletes) about the leadership styles of their coaches, compatibility with the coach and satisfaction with leadership. The sample included 91 male athletes of a handball team; 59 were youth sport athletes (novice) and 32 were adult sport athletes (experienced). We applied the following measurements: Demographic Questionnaire, Multidimensional Scale of Leadership in Sports, Coach-Athlete Compatibility, and Athlete Satisfaction Questionnaire. The results showed that: novice athletes evaluated more positively the leadership styles, assumed more compatibility with the coach, and demonstrated more satisfaction with leadership. Therefore, leadership scales explained 32 percent of the variance related with Coach-Athlete Compatibility in novice athletes and 43 percent in experienced athletes.
