Education and elite sports in Argentinean adolescents
Main Article Content
Abstract
Adolescence is the most favorable period to detect, train and develop the potential of students with sports talent. The aim of this paper is to identify barriers and school facilitators for Argentina’s representatives in 2018 Youth Olympic Games. 408 preselected participants from 14 to 17 years old (249 males and 159 females) participated in the study. Some indicators of the Elite Athletes Survey (Northern Ireland) related to practiced sport and school were applied. The percentage frequencies for all the variables were calculated and contrasts were made based on sex, place of residence and type of sport practiced by U-Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests (p <0.05). The role assumed by clubs as a starting space and current practice of sport is highlighted. As for different recognitions of the school towards talents, it is greater in residents of the City of Buenos Aires than in other jurisdictions. We identify the need for greater support for individual sports, and the need to strengthen the support of educational community for sports talents, and to design and implement public policies to assist and develop them.
