Abstract

In this line of work we analyze the possible differences between trainers of judo belonging to the competitive level of high level judo in function of the characteristics of leadership and in different personal and sport variables. Using a sample of 26 trainers of judo, applying the adjustment of the leadership scale for judo trainers in the version “of the trainers perspective” (LSS-3) together with five evaluated questionnaire in the form of an interview, establishing relationships between the different factors of the questionnaire and the following differences between personal variables and sports of the trainers: “importance given in the judo sport”, “hours dedicated to the training”, “experience”, “technical degree” and sports grade”. As a second objective, we distinguish differences between male trainers and female in function of the profile of leadership and personal variables and mentioned sports. To finalize, we establish possible differences in leadership between trainers in function of the technical degree, belt, sports grade and level of experience. The results show the existence of important relationship between the characteristics leadership, the importance granted to judo as a sport, degree, sports grade, experience and hours dedicated to training. These relationships demonstrate differences depending on the factor, if the factor is positive it does not show significant statistics results. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of the factor autocratic behaviour, constructing the factor with a major number of statistics significant correlations. With relationship of variable sexes, there is no difference statistically significant between the group of male and female trainers. To finalize, it shows statistically significant differences between the factor autocratic behaviour and the technical grade and sports degree, existing a significant relationship with the level of experience. In respect to social support, it is only considered tendency when obtaining the belt or the technical degree.
