A survey was carried out through the official website of the competition promoted by the Department of Sport and Tourism of Paraná. The summaries of all games of the modalities were analyzed: Basketball, Football, Futsal, Handball and Volleyball, male and female, in order to identify whether the coaches were men or women.
