Resumo: | The purpose of this study was to analyse the retirement of elite football players in Portugal. Specifically, the quality of retirement and the resources available were evaluated. To develop an understanding of the process of the sporting retirement of elite football players we used data from in-depth, semi-structured interviews with ninety professional players from the portuguese football national team. Most of the elite Portuguese footballers we investigated retired from sport between 36 and 40 years of age, their retirement had been involuntary and it had taken them less than a year to accept retirement. Most had only been educated to secondary level and had a strong athletic identity, no plans for their post-football career exist and relied on family as their main psychological support. None of the players had received support from a formal programme. Despite of the findings being consistent with previous research from other Southern European cultures, it seems that the athletic retirement of portuguese footballers has some particularities. Most portuguese footballers retired later and had longer playing careers than athletes in other countries. In addition, retirement was involuntary in most of cases, yet players reported that it took them a relatively short time to accept retirement. |

Para tal, foram avaliados a qualidade do abandono e os recursos disponíveis. Para a compreensão do processo de abandono desportivo de jogadores de futebol de elite, foram realizadas entrevistas aprofundadas e semi-estruturadas com noventa jogadores profissionais que jogaram na selecção nacional de futebol. A maioria dos jogadores de futebol portugueses investigados abandonaram a prática desportiva entre os 36 e 40 anos de idade. O seu abandono foi involuntário e passou menos de um ano para aceitarem o abandono. A maioria revelou como habilitações literárias o nível secundário, uma forte identidade atlética, e a não existência de planos para sua carreira pós-futebol. Revelaram que a família foi o seu principal suporte psicológico, e nenhum dos jogadores recebeu apoio de um programa formal. Apesar dos resultados serem consistentes com estudos anteriores em culturas do sul da Europa, o abandono desportivo de jogadores de futebol portugueses revelou particularidades. A maioria dos futebolistas portugueses abandonou a prática desportiva em idades superiores aos atletas de outros países. Contrariamente aos resultados anteriores verificou-se um abandono involuntário mas em que os jogadores tiveram um tempo relativamente curto para aceitar o abandono.Edições Sílabas Didáticas2018-12-10T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.6063/motricidade.14982eng2182-29721646-107XCarapinheira, AntónioTorregrossa, MiquelMendes, PedroGuedes carvalho, PedroTravassos, Bruno Filipe Ramainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-09-05T14:54:43Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/14982Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:30:06.389589Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
