Comparative analysis of the motivational profile of amateur and professional futsal athletes
Abstract
Introduction: In the scope of amateur and professional Futsal practice, the importance of motivation in the adhesion and adherence process is observed, and how the motivational factor interferes in the athletes' actions. Objective: To identify the motivational factors that lead professional and amateur Futsal athletes to practice sports. Materials and Methods: Descriptive, quantitative and transversal research, composed by 42 participants, of both sexes, being 20 amateur athletes and 22 professional athletes. Data collection was performed using the Sports Motivation Scale (SMS) and a General Information Questionnaire, through an online form built on the Google® platform. Results: The greatest motivational factor, in general, was intrinsic motivation (IM) for Stimulating Experiences (6.13±0.86), with demotivation (2.33±1.79) as the lowest motivational regulation. In the comparison between amateur and professional athletes, there was greater regulation of professionals in IM to Know (5.59 ± 0.26; p=0.01). Unpaid athletes had a higher motivational factor in IM for Knowing (5.85 ± 1.00; p=0.00) and IM for Achieving Goals (6.13 ± 0.76; p=0.02). And in the comparison between athletes who train more or less than 151 minutes per week, it was found that those who practiced longer had higher MI for Knowing (5.69 ± 0.99; p=0.00) and MI Achieving the Goals (5.89 ± 1.11; p=0.05). Conclusion: It was evidenced that professional athletes have a greater tendency to be motivated by internal factors, when compared to amateur athletes and who have lower IM and greater risk of being unmotivated.
