Handebol: fatores limitantes para a prática após a conclusão do ensino médio

Abstract

This study aims to identify the difficulties and limitations for the practice of handball after high school. This objective was proposed after an analysis of the current situation of the sport scene, but specifically speaking of handball, we noticed that there are a large number of sports practitioners in Brazilian schools, but at the end of high school the difficulty to continue in the sport increases. Based on this context, a questionnaire was prepared with eight open and closed questions for ex-athletes, 17 females and 13 males, who practiced handball on the back of the school to understand these difficulties. The data were analyzed based on the theoretical reference. The research is qualitative in nature and has a descriptive character. The results show that most of the ex-athletes interviewed reported that lack of sponsorship, lack of media interest and lack of training places are the main factors that limit them to continue practicing handball. Given the importance of the subject, it is necessary to develop public policies that will help in the success of the sports clubs and the expressive return of the University Games, because when finishing high school, the athletes have few options of places to train.
