Análise dos fatores que limitam o desenvolvimento do futsal de alto rendimento no Brasil

Abstract

Futsal is a recent sport with pioneering manifestations in the 20th century, which has been structured through confederations and federations, as well as in leisure spaces. It is currently popular with its practitioners through three sporting manifestations: educational, participation and performance. When examining the performance scenario, it is hypothesized that there are certain vulnerabilities that hinder the development of the sport in Portugal. This scenario led to the guiding question of this dissertation: What are the main factors that hinder the development of futsal as a sport? Thus, the general objective

of the dissertation was to identify and analyze the possible limiting factors for the development of high- performance futsal in Brazil. From the bibliographic collection, the following fields were identified as

relevant: education, high performance, politics and the media. To structure the dissertation, the Scandinavian or multipaper method was adopted, which allows the dissertation to be constructed through articles. Thus, the first article - A vision beyond practice: analysis of scientific production on futsal at school in the Scopus database (2016-2020), allows us to identify what has been produced on the subject of Futsal and school, in view of the insertion of Futsal through invasion games in the guiding document of Brazilian education, the Common National Curriculum Base. The second article - Sports Incentive Law and Futsal: analysis of projects eligible for funding in the state of Paraná, identified which projects were listed as eligible for indirect government funding through the LIE, and which sports events had the highest number of projects linked to them. The third article - Futsal and high performance: a systematic review, aimed to identify and analyze the most frequent themes of international studies on futsal and high performance in the Scopus database. The fourth article - Playing as a team: Futsal research groups in Brazil registered in the Lattes Directory of Research Groups, identified who they are, as well as the researchers involved, the educational institutions and the most frequent themes in the publications of these groups. Finally, the fifth article - Playing with the news: analysis of quotes about Futsal in Folha de S.Paulo in 2021, which analyzed the sport of futsal in one of Brazil's most relevant media outlets. By analyzing different fields, it can be concluded that futsal in Brazil faces challenges in its development due to the lack of studies on its socio-cultural issues, the lack of investment in areas that could promote the sport and the lack of interest from the media in publicizing it. These aspects limit the understanding of the sport, the implementation of effective public policies and the visibility of futsal. To overcome these obstacles, it is necessary to carry out more research, develop specific policies and encourage the media to give futsal more prominence in order to promote its growth and expansion in the country.
