Resumo
Vários investigadores no domínio da Psicologia do Desporto têm procurado identificar e analisar as características e factores implicados na performance desportiva, particularmente junto dos atletas de alta competição.
É normalmente aceite por todos os agentes desportivos a importância de tais factores psicológicos para o rendimento desportivo, como para a diferenciação entre atletas de elite e outros menos competentes.
Este estudo foi elaborado no sentido de caracterizar os comportamentos pré-competitivos de atletas de desportos individuais, da Região Autónoma da Madeira, nas provas regionais de maior importância, a contar para a época desportiva de 2008/09.
A nossa amostra é formada por 151 indivíduos (81 nadadores e 70 atletas da modalidade de atletismo). Destes 151 atletas inquiridos, 89 são do sexo masculino e 62 do sexo feminino.
Os inquiridos responderam a um questionário denominado por Inventário Comportamental Pré-Competitivo que foi elaborado por (Rushall, 1979) tendo sido traduzido e validado por Raposo (1995).
Com o intuito de caracterizar os comportamentos pré-competitivos, realizaram-se cálculos estatísticos de frequências. Para determinar o valor das hipóteses formuladas, na nossa amostra utilizámos a estatística factorial exploratória obtida por Lázaro (1998).
Os resultados obtidos determinaram a existência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas em alguns dos factores do ICPC postulados por Lázaro (1998), quando comparadas as diferentes modalidades, os sexos, os vários escalões presentes, tipos de prova e classificações finais obtidas.
No que diz respeito ao nível de rendimento e às diferentes especialidades verificou-se a inexistência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os atletas.
Several researchers in the field of psychology of sport have begun to identify and analyze the characteristics and factors involved in the sport performance, particularly among athletes of high competition. It is generally accepted by all players sporting the importance of such psychological factors for sports performance and for the differentiation of elite athletes and others less competent. This study was developed to characterize the behavior of pre-competitive athletes from individual sports, in the Autonomous Region of Madeira, on the competitions of greater regional importance, the date for the sports season of 2008/09. Our sample consists of 151 individuals (81 swimmers and 70 athletes of the sport of athletics). Of 151 athletes surveyed, 89 were male and 62 female. Respondents to a questionnaire called the Pre-Competitive Behavior Inventory which was prepared by (Rushall, 1979) and was translated and validated by Raposo (1995). To characterize the pre-competitive behavior, a statistical calculation of frequencies was carried out. To determine the value of the statistical assumptions made was used exploratory factor statistic obtained by Lázaro (1998) in our sample. The results indicated the existence of statistically significant differences in some of the factors ICPC postulated by Lázaro (1998), when comparing the different modalities, the genders, the different bands present, types of competitions and final grades obtained. Regarding the level of income and specialties there was no statistically significant differences between athletes.
