O esporte universitário brasileiro: organizações oficiais e as associações atléticas acadêmicas

Abstract

<jats:p>University sports have been held in Brazil since the beginning of the 19th century and currently occurs in two formats, the official with the organization by consolidated and representative entities, and the other with autonomous organizations, organized and developed through students. This article aims to describe the institutionalization process and the subsequent development of university sports in Brazil and in Brazilian universities, highlighting its historical path and its current reality. The study is characterized as qualitative of a descriptive nature, as it sought to analyze the development of Brazilian university sports and present its current reality. As a result, we highlight that the two competition formats present the sports dispute system, using the same guiding rules of the sports modalities in common, however they differ in their intentionality. In official competitions, there is a search for national representation through the results achieved. In events organized by academics, socialization and other parallel competitions allow academics to compete in addition to sports.</jats:p>

A identificação dos discentes com as associações atléticas universitárias e o reflexo quanto ao engajamento estudantil junto às instituições de ensino superior

“…Todavia, as instituições de ensino superior (IES) podem oferecer experiências que transcendem o aprendizado e obtenção de um título acadêmico. Parte dessas vivências é oferecida pelas associações criadas por universitários, que possibilitam diferentes tipos de interação entre alunos de distintas IES e que tendem a promover um maior envolvimento do aluno com a instituição (AGUIAR; SANTOS, 2019; MALAGUTTI; ROJO; STAREPRAVO, 2020;OLIVEIRA, 2016).…”

“…Essas associações são estruturas representativas dos estudantes de uma IES e possuem focos específicos. Conforme Malagutti, Rojo e Starepravo (2020), elas podem se tornar importantes entidades para a promoção do desenvolvimento profissional, pessoal e coletivo dos universitários que decidem por fazer parte dessas agremiações, seja como gestores ou como membros participantes. Popularmente há várias denominações para tais associações, entre elas: diretórios acadêmicos, empresas juniores e atléticas universitárias.…”

“…Estudos brasileiros também sugerem a importância do esporte enquanto prática que motiva a permanência do aluno na educação superior, além de ser importante para desenvolver outras experiências que complementam a formação desse estudante (MALAGUTTI; ROJO; STAREPRAVO, 2020;PEREIRA, 2018;VELOSO, 2016;VOSER et al, 2016). Também são encontrados estudos nacionais que indicam a importância do esporte para evitar a evasão e promover a retenção de alunos do ensino superior (ALMEIDA, 2019;SILVA, 2014;VELOSO, 2016).…”

Do varsity college athletes have a greater likelihood of risky alcohol and cannabis use than non-athletes? Results from a National Survey in Brazil

“…Brazil is an advantageous country for researching these questions due to the high popularity of sports and the country’s extensive college athletic programs. 15 Since 2018, Brazilian varsity college athletes in sports such as badminton, basketball, futsal (i.e., indoor soccer), handball, judo, karate, swimming, taekwondo, tennis, and volleyball have participated in the Brazilian University Games, a competition that includes a regular season culminating in nationwide finals. During each season, the 27 State University Federations organize events in their respective states, and teams who win their regional tournament advance to the national stage of the Brazilian University Games.…”

Experiences of Student Coaches in Brazilians University Teams: a possibility for the coach education process

“…Although little explored in the context of university teams, these activities are characterized for allowing knowledge transfer within a real coaching context, involving higher education professors as supervisors (Gaion et al, 2020). When compared to university sports in other countries such as Canada, the United States, and European countries Research, Society and Development, v. 11, n. 9, e43911932001, 2022 (CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v11i9.32001 3 (Gaion et al, 2020;Santos, 2018) the Brazilian university sport system is not viewed as a high-performance environment since there are few competitions and the student-athletes mostly use their participation in sports as a life quality strategy or to have scholarships to study in private institutions (Malagutti et al, 2020). The highest entity of the Brazilian university sport system is the Brazilian Confederation of University Sports, which organizes the main championships; however, student associations also organize sports events involving university programs (Malagutti et al, 2020(Malagutti et al, , 2021.…”
