Identification of occupational roles in adapted sport athletes

this is cross-sectional observational quantitative research. Individual interviews were carried out based on the Occupational Roles Identification List - ORIL, where the sample included athletes linked to the 6 modalities offered by ADFP.

Results

The participants were 37 athletes, predominantly male, whose average age is 39 years old and the practice time varies between 1 month and 25 years. The occupational roles of caregiver, family member, and religious regarding the performance of the sport are highlighted with significance.

Conclusion

The research had good participation by the participants, which enabled us to verify the occupational roles in the lives of the athletes and the dynamics of their relationship with their performance in the sport. Likewise, the need to encourage research related to the theme is emphasized, given the incipience of national literature.
