O desenvolvimento da carreira esportiva de atletas paraolímpicos no BrasilCardoso, Vinícius Denardin January 2016 (has links)
O esporte paraolímpico brasileiro vive um momento de destaque esportivo em virtude de suas recentes conquistas: sétimo lugar nos Jogos Paralímpicos de Londres 2012 e líder por três edições consecutivas dos Jogos Para-Panamericanos (2007, 2011, 2015). Esses resultados fazem com que o Brasil seja visto como uma potência paraolímpica mundial e ainda, contribuem para o crescimento do número de pessoas com deficiência demonstrem interesse em ingressar no esporte. Atualmente o profissionalismo tem sido a razão do sucesso e abrangência do esporte paraolímpico brasileiro e a proximidade com os Jogos Paralímpicos do Rio 2016 abre a discussão sobre a carreira esportiva dos atletas paraolímpicos. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo é descrever o desenvolvimento da carreira esportiva de atletas paraolímpicos no Brasil. Como ocorre o ingresso no esporte? Quais as razões que levam os atletas a permanecer na modalidade esportiva? Quais os suportes necessários para o sucesso? O estudo caracteriza-se como descritivo e abordagem qualitativa. A coleta de informações foi realizada através de entrevista semiestruturada. Participaram do estudo 20 atletas paraolímpicos das modalidades Atletismo e Natação, contemplados pela Bolsa-Pódio do Programa Bolsa-Atleta do Ministério do Esporte. Os resultados revelaram que os principais motivos pelos quais os atletas iniciam no esporte paraolímpico são: 1) Oportunidade de Acesso à prática (n=10; 50%); 2) Prazer pela prática (n=9; 45%); 3) Inspiração em ídolos paraolímpicos (n=6; 30%); e 4) Reabilitação (n=5; 25%).

Evaluating the experience of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in the career histories of elite equestrian athletesde Haan, Donna January 2015 (has links)
Equestrian sport has been present on the Modern Olympic programme since 1900 with Para-Equestrian Dressage making its debut at the 1996 Paralympic Games. Due to the combined governance of Olympic and Paralympic versions of the sport, the mixed gender of competition and the potential age range of competitors, equestrian sport provides an opportunity through which to understand a unique context of athlete experience. This thesis has sought to identify and evaluate athlete experience within the context of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and to place this experience within the wider career histories of members of the British Equestrian Team. This study utilised a combination of a systematic literature review methodology and ethnographic data collection and analysis with a critical realist approach, creating a framework that values interpretive insights into how the subjects perceive and construct their world whilst at the same time considering ways in which the literature and individual subjects identify, comment on, and frame the reality of the world of equestrian sport. This study has resulted in the emergence of six themes pertaining to experiencing the games; equestrian sporting culture, identity, values, challenges, performance support and success. Results show many similarities and shared experiences for both the Olympic and Paralympic equestrian athletes. The differences regarding the lived experience for these athletes are predominantly associated with the development of the sport, the relative short Paralympic history of equestrian sport in comparison to the Olympic disciplines, and the place of the Games in the context of the riders career histories. Recognising and understanding the kinds of satisfactions and challenges that individuals experience, the significant features of their athlete identity, and the structural constraints and opportunities of their environment may help identify and design the services and provision required to support the athletes through this elite sporting experience.

Conflict and consensus within the paralympic field : a sociological investigation of an elite disability sport competitionPurdue, David January 2011 (has links)
This research provides a sociological investigation of an elite disability sport competition known as the Paralympic Games. A quadrennial multi-sport competition for individuals with specific impairments, the Paralympic Games, is explored in this thesis through the method of semi-structured interviews. Individuals interviewed included current and former Paralympians, active and retired disability sport administrators as well as social researchers of disability and disability sport. A number of themes surface in this research which identifies and begins to explore the relationships between the core constituents which influence the Paralympic Games. Assertions about which bodies have a legitimate claim to be involved in Paralympic sport, alongside how impaired bodies are used to create an elite disability sport spectacle, such as the Paralympic Games, remain contested by members and organisations that influence, through consensus and conflict, the development of the Paralympic Movement. The Paralympic Games, of course, has not developed in isolation, but in the context of wider developments across sport. In relation to this the positive and negative influences of the International Olympic Committee upon the Paralympic Games are considered. At the core of the thesis, critical analysis has been generated through the use of the social theory of Pierre Bourdieu. In particular Bourdieu's related concepts of habitus, capital and field, in conjunction with previous research into the Paralympic Movement and the extant literature in the field of disability studies, are used to illuminate the existence of a Paralympic field. The possible manifestation of a Paralympic field is explored through the empirical data collected. As a result this thesis highlights the nexus between the sociology of sport and disability studies. Through the fusion of these fields, and by grounding them in a robust theoretical framework, it is hoped that this research will add positively to the literature in this emerging specialism of the sociology of disability sport.

How do Novice Parasport Coaches Develop Their Knowledge? A Look at the Experiences of Para Sailing CoachesDavey, Jennifer J. 21 February 2014 (has links)
Despite growing interest in coaching sciences, literature has revealed a dearth of research on coaches who work with para athletes (e. g. Cregan, Bloom, & Reid, 2007; McMaster, Culver, & Werthner, 2012). The purpose of this study was to explore how novice coaches in parasport develop their knowledge. The study was conducted in real-time during the coaches’ first contact with the context. Semi-structured interviews and participant observation were conducted with six Canadian para sailing coaches. Thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006) revealed that coaches developed context-specific knowledge and skills through a blend of formal, nonformal, and informal learning situations. The participants highlighted the importance of learning from others, especially other coaches and from athletes.

The use of a radio frequency tracking system to quantify the external demands of elite wheelchair rugbyRhodes, James M. January 2015 (has links)
Within team sports, coaches aim to improve physical preparation by optimising the training process specific to competition. Unfortunately, at the elite level of wheelchair rugby (WCR) evidence-based information to guide this process is currently lacking. The present thesis investigates measures of external load during elite competition and explores whether this can be translated to inform current training practices. The first study established the suitability of a radio frequency-based, indoor tracking system (ITS) for the collection of movements specific to WCR. Minimal relative distance errors (< 0.2%) were seen across different sampling frequencies. Peak speed displayed the greatest relative error in 4 Hz tags (2%), with significantly lower errors observed in higher frequency tags (< 1%). The ITS was therefore deemed an acceptable tool for quantifying external load specific to WCR using a sampling frequency of 8 or 16 Hz. The external demands of elite competition were determined in Chapters 4 and 5. Notable differences in the volume of activity were displayed across the International Wheelchair Rugby Federation (IWRF) classification groups. However, the specific positional requirements of low-point (LP) and high-point players (HP) appeared to influence the intensity of external load (Chapter 4). Chapter 5 extended this work and established that peak speed and the ability to perform at high-intensities were best associated with successful mobility performance in WCR, as defined by team rank. This was further shown to be roledependent, whereby high-ranked HP players achieved greater peak speeds and performed more high-intensity activities (HIA) than respective lower-ranked players. Comparisons between the current external demands of training were then compared to that of competition (Chapter 6). Conditioning drills were shown to exceed the demands of competition, irrespective of classification. Notable differences in skill-based and game related drills were displayed across player classifications, whereby both were shown to be roledependent. Although game-simulation drills provided the best representation of competition, the duration appeared important since this factor influenced the results (Chapter 6). When the format of these drills were further modified (Chapter 7), drills containing fewer players increased the volume and intensity of training, specifically in HP. Whilst a 30-second shotclock elicited no changes in external load, differences were revealed when the shot-clock was further reduced to 15-s. Coaches can therefore modify the external training response by making subtle changes to the format of game-simulation drills. This thesis revealed that functional classification and positional-role are key factors during competition, and training should therefore be structured with this in mind. Conditioning drills can be used to elicit a progressive overload in the external responses, whilst game-simulation drills can provide the best representation of competition. Given the importance of gamesimulation drills, the combination of different formats throughout training sessions are critical in order to maximise the preparation of elite WCR players.

Previous issue date: 2013 / Resumo: A temática das lesões esportivas no esporte paralímpico vem sendo pesquisada desde 1980, sendo o maior desenvolvimento de pesquisa realizado nos últimos doze anos. Porém, diversos pontos de discussão são verificados nesses estudos, entre eles, a ausência de um protocolo padrão para a coleta de dados de lesões no esporte paralímpico que abranja aspectos intrínsecos e extrínsecos relacionados às mesmas. O objetivo do presente estudo foi desenvolver um protocolo de dados de lesão esportiva no esporte paralímpico, multimodalidade, multideficiência, multifatorial e acessível. A pesquisa teve início com uma revisão de literatura a respeito das modalidades esportivas paralímpicas, definição e características das lesões esportivas, modelos de interação de fatores internos e externos relacionados á lesão esportiva, medidas epidemiológicas e tipos de estudos epidemiológicos. Em seguida, com o entendimento sobre a utilização de questionários eletrônicos e elaboração de uma base de dados, foi desenvolvido o sistema de Protocolo de Lesão Esportiva no Esporte Paralímpico (PLEEP), que tem como principais características ser um sistema de coleta de dados no esporte paralímpico, multideficiência, multiesporte, de fácil utilização, baixo custo e acessível. O PLEEP é composto de seis blocos principais de dados: termo de consentimento, dados da deficiência, dados da modalidade, diário de treinamento, diário de competição e lesão esportiva. O sistema PLEEP é capaz de obter dados das características das lesões esportivas e seus fatores internos e externos, determinando aspectos gerais e específicos de cada modalidade e deficiência. Os resultados obtidos com a utilização do PLEEP não beneficiarão apenas cientistas envolvidos com pesquisas, mas também as diversas áreas que abrangem o esporte paralímpico, como: treinamento, administração e logística de eventos esportivos, indústria esportiva, entre outras inúmeras áreas envolvidas no esporte / Abstract: The topic of sports injuries in Paralympic sport has been researched since 1980, being most of the researches developed in the last twelve years. However, several discussion points are checked in these studies; among them, there is the lack of a standard protocol for collecting sport injury data on Paralympic sport covering the characteristics as well as intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The aim of this study was to develop a multisport, multidisability, multifactorial, and affordable protocol for sport injury data collection in Paralympic sports. The research began with a literature review about the Paralympic sports, definition and characteristics of sports injuries, interaction models of internal and external factors related to sports injury, epidemiological measures, and types of epidemiological studies. Then, with the understanding on the use of electronic questionnaires and construction of database, the Sports Injuries Protocol for Paralympic Sports (PLEEP) was developed. This system is composed of six main blocks of data: consent form, disability data, sport data, training log, competition log, and sports injury/illness. The SIPPS is able to obtain data on the characteristics of sports injuries and their internal and external factors, determining general and specific aspects of each modality and disability. The results obtained from the use of SIPPS not only benefit scientists involved in research, but also the various areas covering the Paralympic sport, such as: training, administration and logistics of sporting events, sports industry, and other areas involved / Doutorado / Atividade Fisica Adaptada / Doutora em Educação Física
