Introduction: Generally, children and adolescents enjoy the practice of sports. However, increase number of competition and competitiveness in youth sports has been causing an increment in frequency and volume of training, leading to sport specialization. Even if sport specialization being a subject much discussed, there is no consensus about your consequences in school children. Aim: to estimate odds ratio of sport specialization in school athletic population. Methods: sample characterization instruments and specialization questionnaire were answered for 830 participants of different modalities. Participants were recruited from public and private school. The classification of the specialization was carried out based on the methods of self-classification and three points system. The data analysis was performed through the descriptive statistics, chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression analysis, p < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The analysis results showed that the most studies population is male. The points system ranked adolescents at levels: low, medium and high specialization, showed 61.8% (n=495), 29.5% (n=235), 8.7% (n=70), respectively, allocated in each category. Participants classified themselves how single (n=405, 50.6%) or multiple sports (n=396, 49.4%), through the self-classification system. The methods association (three points system and self-classification), showed statistically significant (p=0.001). Conclusion: the odds ratio of sport specialization is low. Age and school size variables were not decisive for influencing in school children specialization. Sport specialization is influenced by the type of school and sex.
