The development of swimming in Brazil and its structural intervening factors (El desarrollo de la natación en Brasil y sus factores estructurales intervinientes)

Abstract

This study aimed to identify how relationships are established in the development of swimming in a Brazilian sports entity, and hypothesized the existence of a structural dynamics sustained by hidden mechanisms of domination. The research consisted of a case study and the sample was a Brazilian sports entity in swimming, chosen from the analysis of the national classification in the period 2013-2018. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with two managers, two athletes and two coaches of the entity. The study had the following analytical categories: structured relationship between performance and participatory sports; coach influence on athlete development; financial support; sports facilities that provide good training conditions; club strategic planning; organization of a public policy framework for sport; political and sports structure; sports talent identification. After systematizing the data, these were analyzed together with Pierre Bourdieu's sociological theory. From the analyzed case, one can confirm the hypothesis that swimming has a relative social distinction in the Brazilian sports sphere, as links hidden mechanisms of domination in a structural way in its management, such as the different positions held in the specific subfield, the principle of capital differentiation, as well as the importance of raising public funds and the symbolic power of the entity.

Programas de financiamento ao atleta: uma perspectiva comparativa entre países

“…Apesar das 1 Importante mencionar que o Ministério do Esporte foi criado em 2003 (STARE-PRAVO, 2011) -anteriormente, esporte e turismo dividiam a mesma pasta. Todavia, de 2019 até meados de 2023, o Ministério foi transformado em Secretaria trocas presidenciais e algumas alterações sofridas na lei (Lei n° 12.395 de 16 de março de 2011; Lei n° 13.051 de 8 de dezembro de 2014; Lei n° 13.155 de 4 de agosto de 2015; Lei n° 13.756 de 12 de dezembro de 2018) 2 , o programa é o principal mantenedor de atletas no alto rendimento, bem como responsável pelos principais resultados esportivos brasileiros (MORETTI DE SOUZA, 2021), sendo o financiamento esportivo um dos fatores importantes para o desenvolvimento esportivo (ORDONHES, 2021;PEREIRA, 2023).…”

Ejercicios pliométricos para desarrollar la potencia muscular de los miembros inferiores del nadador en la técnica de salida (Plyometric exercises to develop the muscular power of the swimmer's lower limbs in the start technique)

“…Therefore, it´s understood that the technical efficiency of exiting and entering the water is shown when the technical gesture is performed smoothly and fluidly, minimizing resistance and noise in the water at the time of executing the action. However, the displacement of the body before entering the water will basically depend on the muscular power of the lower limbs, which ensure a rapid and effective recruitment of the muscle fibers and the muscles involved in the biomechanical chain of action of exit (Maglishio, 2003;Ordonhes, Silva, Oliveira, de Souza, & Cavichiolli, 2021;Moura, Neiva, Faíl, Morais, & Marinho, 2021).…”
