Determinantes do ganhar ou perder em humanos: um estudo com atletas de judô

Abstract

In the sports environment experiences of success or failure are often experienced by different individuals in the most varied environments. Attempting to explain how an individual deals with victory or defeat in behavioral terms will depend on a number of factors, including athlete's history, status (environment), fitness (ability to perform), and athletic maturity). The general objective of the thesis was to systematize a theoretical model about the determinants of winning and losing in judo. For this purpose, we sought to verify (through documentary analysis) if results of previous fights are decisive for the maintenance of subsequent victories and / or defeats; in sequence the study analyzed judo from a competition situation seeking to describe in real time, possible quantitative and qualitative interactions of the fight. According to the design of this study, it was evidenced that the ability (performance related to fight), allied to athlete's athletic maturity (experience in the modality) were the factors that most potentiated the process of winning or losing. This assertion is based on the results of articles published from the construction of the thesis, that is, sports determine and condition morphofunctional characteristics that are related to the demands of the sports environment; Athletes' previous experiences (victory or defeat) can determine subsequent results even in a short space of time; The training time and the morphofunctional factors are strong determinants for the outcome of the fights. These data corroborate and signal that the trainability seems to be one of the factors that differentiates winners and losers in the results obtained in this study.
