This study analyzed soccer players’ retention of coaches’ feedback during training sessions. We intended to determine if the retention of information was influenced by the athletes’ personal characteristic (age, gender and the sports level), the quantity of information included in coach’s feedback (the number of ideas and redundancy), athletes’ perception of the relevance of the feedback information and athletes’ motivation as well as the attention level. The study that was conducted over the course of 18 sessions of soccer practice, involved 12 coaches (8 males, 4 females) and 342 athletes (246 males, 96 females), aged between 10 and 18 years old. All coach and athlete interventions were transposed to a written protocol and submitted to content analysis. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression were calculated. The results showed that a substantial part of the information was not retained by the athletes; in 65.5% of cases, athletes experienced difficulty in completely reproducing the ideas of the coaches and, on average, the value of feedback retention was 57.0%. Six variables with a statistically significant value were found: gender, the athletes’ sports level, redundancy, the number of transmitted ideas, athletes’ perception of the relevance of the feedback information and the athletes’ motivation level.

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi analisar as Atitudes face ao Desporto e os comportamentos agressivos em dois desportos coletivos, comparando andebolistas e basquetebolistas. Utilizámos o Aggression Questionnaire / Questionário de Agressividade (AQ) (de Buss e Perry, 1992, na versão portuguesa de Cunha e Gonçalves, 2012) e o Sports Attitudes Questionnaire / Questionário de Atitudes face ao Desporto (SAQ) (de Lee, 1996, na versão portuguesa de Gonçalves, Silva, Chatzisarantis, Lee e Cruz, 2006). Participaram no estudo 32 atletas (21 masculinos, 11 femininos), 15 andebolistas e 17 basquetebolistas. Os resultados apontam para a inexistência de diferenças significativas na agressividade (entre as duas modalidades e entre o género dos praticantes). No que respeita às atitudes face ao desporto, encontraram-se diferenças no fator ‘Convenção’ em função do género dos atletas. Foram identificadas associações entre alguns factores da agressividade e das atitudes face ao desporto.

The aim of this study was to analyse students’ capacity to retain information, taking into account the information transmitted by teachers during physical education classes. In addition, we examine the influence of variables such as the amount and nature of the information. Data were collected through the observation of 36 physical education classes, with students from 12 to 19 years old. The data consisted of 596 students’ responses to instruction episodes provided by their teachers, corresponding to 1,604 information units. The results suggested that the students’ retention was inversely related to the quantity of information. Retention varied depending on the nature of the message, its purpose and the type of information. Information transmitted across the auditory-visual route or whose objective was descriptive evaluation corresponded to higher levels of retention.

espanolThe objective of the present study is to identify the barriers, facilitators and reasons for practicing physical activity and sport in people with intellectual disabilities, considering the gender, the training load and the occupation of the participants. The study involved 23 athletes with intellectual impairments, to whom a questionnaire has been applied in the form of an interview. Descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests for group comparison have been used. The results indicate that the main barriers are related to the time of displacement to the training place; the main facilitators are related to the support of the athlete's environment; the main reasons for the practice are related to improving health and social factors. Considering the independent variables, we found some statistically significant differences. Men perceive that showering on the lockers is a barrier; Athletes with more training load perceive displacement as a barrier; and the support of parents is a facilitator for working athletes. Based on the results, theoretical and practical implications are presented as help to improve the practice of sports in people with intellectual disabilities. espanolEl objetivo del presente trabajo es identificar las barreras, facilitadores y motivos para la practica de actividad fisica y deporte en las personas con discapacidad intelectual, considerando el sexo, la carga de entrenamiento y la ocupacion de los participantes. En el estudio han participado 23 deportistas con discapacidad intelectual, a los que se ha aplicado un cuestionario en forma de entrevista. Se ha utilizado estadistica descriptiva y pruebas no-parametricas para la comparacion de grupos. Los resultados indican que las principales barreras estan relacionadas con el tiempo de desplazamiento al lugar de entrenamiento; los principales facilitadores estan relacionados con el apoyo del entorno del deportista; los principales motivos para la practica estan relacionados con mejorar la salud y con factores sociales. Considerando las variables independientes se han encontrado algunas diferencias estadisticamente significativas. Los hombres perciben que ducharse en las instalaciones es una barrera; los deportistas con mas carga de entrenamiento perciben el desplazamiento como una barrera; y el apoyo de los padres es un facilitador para los deportistas que trabajan. En base a los resultados se presentan implicaciones a nivel teorico y a nivel practico como ayuda para mejorar la practica deportiva en las personas con discapacidad intelectual.
