We examine the pacing strategies of elite swimmers of the 200m freestyle from six long courses World Championships and three editions of the Olympic Games. The entries, partials, and total race times of the finalist swimmers were analysed. The results showed that the 1st lap is the one with the most significant difference, both for males (0.0008) and females (<0.0001), justified by the push-off against a solid (block). In addition, athletes perform their strategies assuming a negative correlation in the 1st half of the race and a positive correlation in the 2nd half. Also, the winner's time difference percentage was below compared with the median of total race time, where the Transition α (difference between 1st to 2nd and 3rd places, and the difference of 3rd place to other athletes) is faster in the 2nd half of the race by +3.23% for men and +2.50% for women. It is concluded that the 1st lap presents better reciprocity to the final time. The winners are faster than the median in the 2nd half of the race. Still, the % Time becomes an option, related to the possibility of using the pacing of different athletes, as an option for coaches and athletes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, we aimed to analyze the behavioral profile of volleyball coaches of youth categories from both the athletes' and the coaches' perspectives. One hundred ten athletes and 18 head coaches and assistant coaches who participated in the 2018 clubs' Brazilian volleyball championship (Campeonato Brasileiro Interclubes de Voleibol) filled the athlete and coach version, respectively, of the Brazilian version of the Coach Behavior Scale for Sport. The reporting of the goal-setting dimension was not aligned between coaches and athletes (z = 17, p = 0.012, d = 0.78), while no differences were found for the other dimensions (physical training and planning, technical skills, mental preparation, personal rapport, and negative rapport). The mismatch between the perceptions of coaches and athletes for the goal-setting dimension may be related to an underestimation or overestimation by coaches or athletes of the team's potential and inadequate coach-athlete communication. Coaches should manage their behavior to clearly state for the athletes their personal and collective goals, avoiding frustration, and promoting more commitment with the set goals, increasing the team's chances of success.

Miranda L, Werneck FZ, Coelho EF, Novaes JS, Figueiredo AJ, Ferreira RM, Lima JRP, Vianna JM. Stability of Motor Talent in Young Brazilian Students. JEPonline 2020;23(3):89-100. This study evaluated the evolution and stability of motor talent diagnosis in young students of a military college, as well as the biological maturation effect on the range of variation of anthropometric and motor indicators. A total of 299 students of both sexes (11 to 17 yrs old) participated in a battery of tests to assess body size, flexibility, isometric strength, explosive strength, speed, endurance, and somatic maturation. Schoolchildren with scores above the 98th percentile (P98) were classified as motor-talented. Anthropometric and motor indicators showed high stability after 9 months. However, motor talent diagnosis showed low stability. The range of variation of the indicators was higher in late-maturing schoolchildren, but only for body mass and height (boys), and handgrip strength (girls). It was concluded that there is a high stability of motor talent indicators but low stability of motor talent diagnosis, considering P98 and that the range of variation observed was partially dependent on maturation.

Objective: verify the effect of the game outcome on female volleyball team's mood states. Methods: twelve amateur athletes were submitted to POMS (Profile of Mood States), 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after seven matches of an intercity championship. Dependent variables were tension, depression, anger, vigor, fatigue and confusion. Results: regarding the team's humor profile, it was verified that in the defeats there was a significant increase of tension, anger and mental confusion and decrease in vigor when compared to the situation of victory. Conclusion: the outcome of the game was found to influence female volleyball team's mood states. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the study was to characterize the perception of soccer athletes for amputees in relation to the behaviour of their coaches. The study included 43 soccer athletes for amputees (mean age 33.0 ± 8.8 years and experience time of 7.5 ± 5.2 years) who answered to the ECT-A instrument. This instrument is divided into six dimensions: Physical Training (TP); Technical Training (TT); Mental preparation (PM); Establishment of objectives/ goals (ME); Positive Personal Reinforcement (RP); Negative Personal Reinforcement (RN). It was identified that the athletes presented higher perceptions for RP dimensions (5.19 ± 1.49) and TT (4.85 ± 1.49). In the comparison of the dimensions, it was verified that the RN dimension presented values inferior to the other dimensions (p <0.001). It was concluded that the behaviors of soccer coaches for amputees preferred by athletes are recognition and reward for good performance, conduction of demanding training and coaching involvement in helping athletes become more self-confident.

Family presence and support are extremely important factors for an athlete at all stages of development, especially during the transitional stages of the athlete's career. The objective of this study was to analyze the role of the family for competitive swimmers in relation to the types of support and/or influence those families have during the first stage of the athlete's career. Eight swimmers who have won an Olympic medal composed this study. A semi-structured interview script requiring deep retrospective answers from the athletes was used. The data was analyzed using Meaning Units (MUs). Results show that during the beginning of their careers, the athletes received mostly emotional and financial support from their families. Even though this is an historic study, it was concluded that the presence of the family represents a fundamental role in the development of the majority of the swimmers analyzed.

Relative age effects refer to the effects of age differences among individuals who have been grouped together for a performance activity. This study aimed to investigate the relative age effect on Olympic Taekwondo athletes, in several Olympic Games, and in both sexes. The study sample consisted of 291 athletes who had competed in Atlanta, Sydney, and Beijing Olympic Games. The relative age effect was examined for the general distribution of athletes by quartile, for each of the individuals, and for male and female athletes. There were no discernable effects of relative age on Olympic Taekwondo athletes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
