Gestão do esporte paralímpico: A formação e capacitação profissional em foco

Abstract

Objective: Identify and analyze the management processes developed by CPB regarding the training of professionals capable of working in Paralympic sports. Additionally, examine the actions of APB and EP as collaborators in these processes, investigating the effectiveness of these training programs from the perspective of the managers of these entities and the beneficiaries of the training actions.

Methodology: The study has a qualitative nature, with one part consisting of documentary research and the other involving semi-structured interviews. Three managers and ten beneficiaries were interviewed.

Originality / relevance: To better understand how the management of formative activities operates and whether they yield positive outcomes for both the individuals undergoing the training and those receiving services from the trained professional.

Main results: It was observed that the entities have well-structured training programs and managers who adhere to updated administrative practices, yet they face issues related to excessive bureaucracy. The activities are well-evaluated by the beneficiaries, with some reservations regarding the expenses associated with traveling to practical stages. However, overall, the training programs have a positive impact on the para-athletes who receive assistance from these duly trained professionals.

Theoretical methodological contributions: Research related to the management of training in sports enables the assessment of the quality of what is being provided to professionals seeking specialization and identifies gaps that can be improved in this sphere.
