| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: The study is aimed to identify sociodemographic and professional characteristics related to the careers of former Portuguese football players. Methodology: The sample consisted of 84 Portuguese former players (48.8 ± 8.2 years old) with at least 8 years of professional experience, who finished their careers between 1988 and 2018. Quantitative data was collected from a validated semi-structure interview guide. Results and Discussion: Former Portuguese players had a career of 15.2 ± 3.1 years with more 6.4 ± 2.2 years of youth federated formation. Significant statistical differences were seen between former players with different competitive levels (t(71)=3.843; p=0.001) and international status (t(82)=-2.740; p=0.008). During their careers, 36% accomplish academic formation and 61.9% pursued technical education. Academic habilitation was statistically significant relationships with competitive level (χ2(1)=9.655; ρ=0.002) and international status (χ2(1)=6.930; ρ=0.008), unlike what happened with technical qualification (p>0.05). The majority of former players marry (83.3%) and have children during the career (82.2%). The divorce rate is 15%. Residential mobility is high (8.1 ± 5.55 years). The professional incomes were considered high or very high and 16.7% of former players developed addictions during their career. Conclusion: Former players with higher competitive levels and international status tend to have longer careers. Conversely, they tend to invest less in academic formation. The results reveals that the football career is brief and presents stress and risk factors, mainly at higher competitive levels. The findings contribute to a better understanding and discussion of the professional careers of former Portuguese football players. | eng |
| dc.description.abstract | Introducción: El estudio tiene como objetivo identificar las características sociodemográficas y profesionales relacionadas con las carreras de los exfutbolistas portugueses. Metodología: 84 exjugadores portugueses (48.8 ± 8.2 años) con al menos 8 años de experiencia profesional, que finalizaron sus carreras entre 1988 y 2018. Los datos cuantitativos se recopi laron a partir de una guía de entrevista semiestructurada validada. Resultados y Discusión: Los exjugadores portugueses tuvieron una carrera de 15.2 ± 3.1 años con más 6.4 ± 2.2 años de formación federada juvenil. Se observaron diferencias estadísticas significativas entre los exjugadores con diferentes niveles competitivos (t(71)=3.843; p=0.001) y estatus internacional (t(82)=-2.740; p=0.008). Durante sus carreras, el 36% completó forma ción académica y el 61.9% siguió educación técnica. La habilitación académica mostró relacio nes estadísticamente significativas con el nivel competitivo (χ2(1)=9.655; ρ=0.002) y el estatus internacional (χ2(1)=6.930; ρ=0.008), a diferencia de lo que ocurrió con la calificación técnica (p>0.05). La mayoría de los exjugadores se casan (83.3%) y tienen hijos durante la carrera (82.2%). La tasa de divorcio es del 15%. La movilidad residencial es alta (8.1 ± 5.55 años). Los ingresos profesionales se consideraron altos o muy altos y el 16.7% de los exjugadores desa rrollaron adicciones durante su carrera. Conclusión: Los exjugadores con niveles competitivos más altos y estatus internacional tienden a tener carreras más largas. Por el contrario, tienden a invertir menos en formación académica. La carrera futbolística es breve y presenta factores de estrés y riesgo, principalmente en los niveles competitivos más altos. Los hallazgos contribuyen a una mejor comprensión y discusión de las carreras profesionales de los exfutbolistas portugueses. | spa |
