O objetivo do presente estudo foi o de proceder à tradução e adaptação transcultural do “Empowering and Disempowering Motivational Climate Questionnaire-Coach” (EDMCQ-C) para a língua portuguesa e analisar a invariância da sua estrutura fatorial, quando aplicado a atletas brasileiros e portugueses. A amostra foi constituída por 963 atletas do sexo masculino, praticantes de diferentes desportos (andebol, basquetebol, futebol, futsal e voleibol), com idades compreendidas entre os 11 e os 24 anos (M = 15.04 ± 1.88), sendo 553 brasileiros (M = 15.81 ± 1.91) e 410 portugueses (M = 13.94 ± 1.30). Através do recurso à Análise Fatorial Confirmatória, foi possível verificar a existência de bons índices de ajustamento ao modelo teórico examinado, com uma solução reduzida constituída por 15 itens, distribuídos pelos cinco fatores do instrumento original (χ2/df = 2.38; CFI = 0.97; TLI = 0.96; SRMR = 0.03; RMSEA = 0.04). Complementarmente, a invariância do modelo de medida, quando aplicado a atletas brasileiros e portugueses, foi avaliada através da comparação do modelo com pesos fatoriais fixos e o modelo com coeficientes estruturais livres, tendo o resultado sido de ΔCFI = 0.01. Em conformidade, os resultados encontrados suportam a sugestão de que a versão adaptada para a língua portuguesa do EDMCQ-C evidencia boas propriedades psicométricas, podendo, portanto, constituir-se como uma ferramenta útil para avaliar as perceções de atletas brasileiros e portugueses sobre o clima motivacional que lhes é proporcionado pelos seus treinadores. The aim of the present study was to carry out the cross-cultural adaptation of the Portuguese version of "Empowering and Disempowering Motivational Climate" (EDMCQ-C), which evaluates the athletes' perception the motivational climate provided by the coach and to examinethe factorial invariance between Brazilians and Portuguese. The sample was composed by 963 male athletes from different sports (handball, basketball, soccer, futsal and volleyball), aged between 11 and 24 (M = 15.04 ± 1.88), of whom 553 were Brazilian (M = 15.81 ± 1.91) and 410 Portuguese athletes (M = 13.94 ± 1.30). The results of the confirmatory factorial analysis found satisfactory adjustment indices of the model for both portuguese (χ2/df = 1.67; CFI = 0.92; TLI = 0.91; SRMR = 0.06; RMSEA = 0.04) and brazilian (χ2/df = 1.92; CFI = 0.90; TLI = 0.89; SRMR = 0.05; RMSEA = 0.04). The results also showed that the model of measurement was invariant between Brazilian and Portuguese athletes (ΔCFI <0.01). In conclusion, the instrument used can be a useful to analyze the perception of Brazilian and Portuguese athletes for the motivational climate provided by the coach.

Faktor psikologis saat ini telah menjadi salah satu aspek yang sangat penting dalam olahraga futsal, namun belum diketahui dengan jelas faktor mana yang lebih berkorelasi dengan performa. Tujuan penelitian ini mencoba untuk menganalisis besarnya korelasi dua faktor psikologis antara self-efficacy dan mental toughness dengan performa atlet futsal. Pendekatan penelitian adalah kuantitatif dengan metode deskriptif korelasional. Subjek sebanyak tiga puluh atlet futsal amatir dari Suryakancana University (15 pria dan 15 wanita, n=30). Instrumen self-efficacy, mental toughness dan performa menggunakan FSEQ, FMTQ dan FPQ. Analisis data menggunakan IBM SPSS software versi 25 dengan analisis korelasi person product moment dan analisis korelasi ganda. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa terdapat korelasi yang signifikan antara self-efficacy dengan performa atlet, terdapat korelasi yang signifikan antara mental toughness dengan performa atlet, terdapat korelasi antara self-efficacy dan mental toughness dengan performa atlet dalam kategori tinggi diperoleh (r=0.733, Sig=0.002<0.05). Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini adalah terdapat korelasi yang tinggi antara self-efficacy dan mental toughness dengan performa atlet futsal. Self-efficacy and mental toughness: Do psychological factors correlate with athlete performance? AbstractPsychological factors have become one of the most important aspects in futsal, however, it is not clear which factors are more correlated with performance. The purpose of this study is to analyze the magnitude of the correlation between two psychological factors between self-efficacy and mental toughness with the performance of futsal athletes. The research approach is quantitative with correlational descriptive methods. Thirty amateur athletes from Suryakancana University (15 men and 15 women, n = 30). Instrumen of self-efficacy, mental toughness and performance using FSEQ, FMTQ and FPQ. Data analysis using IBM SPSS software version 25 with Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis and multiple correlation analysis. The results found that there was a significant correlation between self-efficacy and athlete performance, there is a significant correlation between mental toughness with athlete performance, there is a correlation between self-efficacy and mental toughness with athlete performance in the high category (r=0.733, Sig=0.002<0.05). The conclusion in this study is that there is a high correlation between self-efficacy and mental toughness with the performance of futsal athletes.

This study aimed to analyze the differences between active commuting to school (ACS) and non-ACS in cognitive performance (CP), and the association of ACS duration with CP. This cross-sectional study included 370 adolescents (males n = 170), with a mean age of 15.28 ± 2.25 years. CP was assessed through an interview, and ACS, extracurricular physical activity, and socioeconomic status was assessed by self-report. Body composition was assessed using the FitnessGram test battery. One in two adolescents did ACS (51.6%). ACS was associated with boys (53.9%), younger adolescents (14.91 ± 2.15 vs. 15.69 ± 2.29), those having school social support (55.0%), and those doing one or more extracurricular physical activities (53.6%), compared to non-ACS participants (p < 0.05). The analysis of covariance, after controlling for age, sex, school social support, and participation in extracurricular physical activity, showed an effect of ACS on the total cognitive score (F(2,362) = 3.304, p < 0.05). The CP was higher in adolescents with more than 30 min of ACS than non-ACS (p < 0.05). The influence of ACS duration can be seen in the dimensions of inductive reasoning (ß = 0.134, t = 2.587, p < 0.05) and working memory (ß = 0.130, t = 2.525, p < 0.05). The role of ACS for CP, as well as guidelines for future research, are discussed.

O objetivo deste estudo foi examinar a fiabilidade, a validade fatorial e a invariância de medida de duas escalas intrapessoais – autoeficácia e prazer/satisfação na prática de atividade física, em crianças e adolescentes portuguesas. A amostra ficou constituída por 499 crianças e adolescentes (280 rapazes e 219 raparigas) com idades compreendidas entre os novc e os 16 anos. Os resultados indicaram uma boa consistência interna para ambas as escalas. A análise fatorial confirmatória assegurou a estrutura fatorial unidimensional para cada escala. A análise multigrupos constatou a invariância de medida da escala de autoeficácia e prazer/satisfação, entre género e idade. Em suma, a versão portuguesa das escalas demonstraram fiabilidade e validade, o que indica que constituem medidas válidas para avaliar a autoeficácia e o prazer/satisfação de crianças e adolescentes na prática de atividade física. Estas medidas podem ser utilizadas para avaliar os correlatos psicossociais da atividade física em crianças e adolescentes, bem como estão aptas para comparar géneros e idades. Futuras investigações devem examinar a medida de invariância longitudinal.
