RESUMoObjetivo: Investigar a presença e a relação entre comportamentos sugestivos de transtornos de conduta alimentar e distorção da imagem corporal de atletas de ginástica rítmica participantes do contexto esportivo competitivo. Métodos: Participaram do estudo 48 atletas de ginástica rítmica, das categorias: infantil, juvenil e adulta e 48 estudantes do ensino fundamental e médio (controle). Para a identificação da presença de transtornos de conduta alimentar utilizou-se o Teste de Atitudes Alimentares (EAT-26) e, para determinar a insatisfação com a imagem corporal, o Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). Para a análise estatística utilizou-se o teste de Kruskal-Wallis (p < 0,05) e a correlação de Spearman. Resultados: Não houve diferenças estatísticas significativas entre o grupo de ginastas e o de estudantes na presença de transtornos de conduta alimentar; constatou-se correlação significativa entre o transtorno de conduta alimentar e distorção de imagem corporal para as ginastas da categoria infantil (10-12 anos) e juvenil (13-14 anos). A análise descritiva revela que 27,2% (quatro ginastas/10-12 anos); 20,0% (quatro ginastas/13-14 anos) apresentaram atitudes sugestivas de comportamento de transtorno de conduta alimentar. Duas ginastas de 10-12 anos (10,0%), cinco ginastas de 13-14 anos (15%) e as cinco ginastas acima 15 anos (100%) apresentaram distorção da imagem corporal. Conclusão: As evidências apontam que a percepção comportamental e cognitiva das adolescentes em relação às exigências estéticas dos ambientes nos quais estão inseridas parece ser um fator primordial a ser considerado quando da presença de comportamentos sugestivos de transtorno de conduta alimentar e da distorção da imagem corporal.Palavras-chave: ginastas, transtorno alimentar, imagem corporal. aBStRaCtObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the presence and relationship between eating behavior disorders and body image distortion in rhythmic gymnastics' athletes who participate in a competitive sports context. Methods: 48 rhythmic gymnastics athletes from the junior and senior categories and 48 elementary and high school students (control group) participated in the study. For the identification of eating behavior disorder the Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26) was used and to determine body image dissatisfaction the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). For statistic analysis the Kruskall-Wallis test (p<0.05) and Spearman Correlation were used. Results: there were not statistical differences between the gymnastics group and the students group for eating behavior disorder; a significant correlation was noticed between eating behavior disorder and body image distortion for the athletes from younger junior (10-12 years old) and older junior (12-14 years old) sport categories. Descriptive analysis revealed that 27.2% (4 gymnastics/10-12 years old); 20.0% (4 gymnasts/13-14 years old) presented suggestive behavior of eating disorder. Two gymnasts aged 10-12 years old (10.0%), five gymnasts aged 13-14 years old (15.0%) and five 15 years old gymnas...

The study had the goal to study the relationship between resilience, stress and injuries in the sport context. Eight female athletes, part of the Rhythmic Gymnastics Brazilian Team along the Olympic Cycle 2015–2016 participated in the study, with a mean age of 20.4±2.5 years. The following instruments were used: RESTQ-76 Sport, CD-RISC 10, documental analysis of physical therapy records, and structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics (frequency, mean and standard deviation); Repeated Measured ANOVA with Bonferroni’s post-hoc, Student’s “t” test, Friedman test, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, Cohen’s d, and inductive thematic analysis. We found relatively stable levels of stress and recovery across the season; total recovery levels were higher than stress at all four measured timepoints (p<0.05); All athletes had at least one injury, with a total of 14 injuries; No significant correlations were found between the quantitative scores of resilience, stress and recovery; Training and the sport’s scoring system were the most relevant perceived stressors; athletes presented meta-cognition and a non-positive evaluation (neutral) of stressors; Social support was considered the main psychological factor for the resilience process; such process resulted in improved control and interpretation of emotions; Our hypothesized model proposes that, in the relationship between stress and injuries, resilience acts by optimizing the injury recovery process. It was concluded that resilience plays a role in the process of injury rehabilitation and stress control in elite rhythmic gymnastics’ athletes.

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a síndrome de "burnout" e as estratégias de "coping" de jogadores de vôlei de praia. Participaram 93 atletas, das categorias sub-21 e "open" do circuito brasileiro de vôlei de praia. Como instrumentos foram utilizados uma ficha com dados de identificação, Questionário de "Burnout" para Atletas e Inventário Atlético das Estratégias de "Coping". Para análise dos dados utilizou-se teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov, coeficiente Alpha de Cronbach, teste 'U' de Mann-Whitney, teste de Kruskal-Wallis e coeficiente de correlação de Spearman, adotando p < 0,05. Verificou-se correlação significativa e negativa entre as dimensões do "burnout" e estratégias de "coping". Para as dimensões do "burnout", apenas "ranking" obteve diferença significativa, enquanto para as estratégias de "coping", gênero, categoria, "ranking" e tempo de prática apresentaram diferenças significativas. Concluiu-se que quanto maior a síndrome de "burnout", menor é a utilização de estratégias de "coping" em atletas de vôlei de praia.

Introduction: Resilience is a positive psychological characteristic that reflects an individual's capacity to better perceive, deal with, and overcome adversity; the sports environment is replete with adversities, which increase athletes' stress levels and may lead to undesirable outcomes. Objective: To analyze the impact of resilience levels on stress and recovery in athletes. Methods: Subjects were 150 athletes (aged 22.46 ± 5.97) of both sexes (92 men and 58 women) who competed in the 2012 Paraná Open Games in different sports (107 in team and 43 in individual sports). Instruments were the Recovery-Stress Questionnaire (RESTQ-76 Sport) and a resilience questionnaire (CD-RISC-10). The following tests were used for data analysis: Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, Spearman Correlation Coefficient and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Results: The model significantly explained stress and recovery variability in 20% and 22%, respectively; age-predicted resilience was 11%; the model invariance test indicated a significant influence of sex and type of sport (multi-group analysis). Conclusion: Resilience plays an essential role in coping with and recovering from stress in competitive sports contexts, which is considered a determinant of success.

RESUMO.O artigo trata da Psicologia do Esporte, um campo de atuação emergente do psicólogo no Brasil. Faz uma análise sobre o percurso histórico da Psicologia Esportiva apresentando os campos de atuação profissional (pesquisa, ensino e intervenção), o papel do psicólogo esportivo (pesquisador, professor e consultor) e o estado científico atual dessa especialidade psicológica. Mesmo com o vasto campo de trabalho, um elemento interveniente é a diversidade de conhecimentos necessários para esta subdivisão da Psicologia, fazendo com que a formação profissional seja insuficiente e a atuação profissional dividida em duas especialidades, a Psicologia Clínica e a Psicologia Educacional aplicada ao esporte. Finalizando, destaca-se a emergência da compreensão destes aspectos, fornecendo subsídios para o entendimento da importância da qualificação de profissionais da área da Psicologia para o contexto do esporte e do exercício físico.

This manuscript presents the Sport Psychology field as a psychologist's emergent field of action in Brazil. A historical analysis is performed concerning the path of Sport Psychology presenting the areas of professional action (research, teaching and intervention), the role of the sport psychologist (researcher, academic teacher and consultant) and the field's recent scientific state. Although the vast professional field, the diversity of knowledge needed to act in this subdivision of Psychology is an intervening element, resulting in an insufficient professional formation and a division of the professional action into two specialties: the Clinical Psychology and Educational Psychology applied to sport. Finally, it is highlighted the emergency in the comprehension of this aspects, providing background to understand the importance of the professional qualification in the field of Sport and Physical Exercise.Key words: Psychology; sport psychology; physical exercise.
