Lista de checagem para avaliação da execução técnica de lançamento do disco

Abstract

The objective of the present study was the elaboration, validation and application of a checklist for the evaluation of the discus throw of beginner athletes. Nine male track and field athletes from the CRIA UFJF team participated in the study. Also participated 12 experts (teachers, coaches) with experience in training, undergraduate education and research in athletics. By email, the experts were sent the initial checklist, then the final checklist, as well as the content validity questionnaire and other research steps. The release videos were also emailed to the experts. For statistical treatment, Excel® software was used, with which the tables for the general characteristics of the sample and the definition of the final checklist were made, and Statistica® 2012, with which intraclass correlation indices were performed. The results showed that the checklist has proper clearness and description: 40% very easy to comprehend and 60% easy to comprehend. In relation to technical relevance, the results are 40% very appropriate, 40% appropriate and 20% little appropriate, and as a research device, the checklist are 80% possible, and 20% impracticable. The inter rater correlations in the content validity step were 0.72 and intra-rater was 0.76. We conclude that the checklist is a good tool for assessing the discus throwing technical execution of beginning track and field athletes. It was also concluded that young athletes, when performing the discus throw, have little difficulty in the “Strength Position” and “Main Acceleration” phases and greater difficulty in the “Recovery” phase.
