Abstract

REIS, Fabiana Della Giustina dos  and  CAPRARO, André Mendes. Brazilian judokas: an overview of the athletes contemplated by the athlete scholarship podium program between 2013 and 2018. Rev. Motriviv. [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.63, e72017.  Epub Nov 30, 2020. ISSN 2175-8042.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-8042.2020.e72017.

In 2004 the Federal Government created the Bolsa-Atleta Program with four categories of scholarship and, in 2013, added Pódio. This aims to finance athletes with chances of medals at the Olympic Games. As Judo was the modality that most brought medals to Brazil in this competition, this study analyzed the variables of age, sex, place of training and weight category of Judo athletes benefited by the Bolsa-Athlete Program category Podium between 2013 and 2018. The data were collected through a documentary search in the ordinances that contained the names of the athletes contemplated by Bolsa-Atleta Pódio, and a quantitative research to cross the variables. It was observed that the distribution of scholarships took place in a balanced way between men and women. In addition, it was also noted that the majority of Judo athletes were born in the Southeast, more specifically in the state of São Paulo. This indicates the region's investment in basic and elite sports, given that the largest high-performance training center is in the Southeast.
