Especialização precoce no futebol: uma revisão integrativa

Abstract

Study of the performance of teachers in the children's category in football and the possible consequences of early specialization for teenagers. Objective: To analyze and describe the consequences of early specialization for adolescents in the children's category in football. Method: Indirect research of the integrative literature review type. The selection process was carried out through the LUME platforms of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul and the online magazine EFDeportes. A total of 148 studies were evaluated by title, of which 9 were examined by abstract, 8 read in full and 5 were selected for the study. Results: The results obtained in the work show that some teachers/trainers still use methodologies inappropriately to carry out their classes, thus contributing to the increase in early specialization. On the other hand, there are teachers/trainers who use methodologies that match the level of development of their class, contributing to development correctly. Conclusions: Early specialization has been increasing from a practical point of view in Brazilian football, whether through demands from parents as well as the inadequate choice of activities proposed by teachers who work in the children's categories.
