Abstract

Special Olympics Portugal is one of the main national organisations for the development of sport for athletes with intellectual disabilities. Coaches play a relevant role in the development of athletes, being the decision and planning styles essential aspects to adapt the training to the athletes' specific needs. These prerogatives are little explored scientifically about the coaches of this type of athletes. The study aims to identify the decision and planning styles of the Special Olympics Portugal coaches. It also intends to analyze the relationship of formal and non-formal training with the decision and planning styles. The research is descriptive and cross-sectional of the Special Olympics Portugal coaches, with the participation of 50 subjects. Two questionnaires were used: the Questionnaire of Decision Styles in Sport and the Questionnaire of Planning Styles in Sport. The results show that the Special Olympics Portugal coaches have a wide spectrum of styles of action in training, predominantly the democratic decision styles and flexible planning. This situation implies that the coaches in this area are more reflective, needing to adapt their methodologies to work with the athletes and seek new solutions in order to adapt the training to the effective needs of the athletes.
