Efeito da idade relativa nos esportes individuais. Uma revisão sistemática

Resumo

Efeito da Idade Relativa (EIR) refere-se à influência que o mês de nascimento teria na performance de pessoas nascidas no mesmo ano. A maioria dos estudos sobre EIR indicam que indivíduos nascidos no primeiro quartil de um dado ano podem apresentar vantagens biológicas, físicas, cognitivas e psicológicas sobre nascidos nos últimos meses do mesmo ano. Tais variações afetariam a performance, levando à superestimação dos resultados observáveis no período de avaliação. Embora o EIR tornado um fenômeno bem estudado, pouco se sabe sobre as características metodológicas dos estudos prevalentes, bem como sobre os avanços a respeito do tema, especialmente em esporte individuais. Assim, esta revisão sistemática investigou o estado da arte do EIR nos esporte individuais. Os resultados revelaram que o EIR foi encontrado entre atletas de esportes individuais; a maioria dos estudos descreveu o EIR nos esportes individuais, contudo, poucos estabeleceram correlações entre o EIR e outras variáveis (como antropometria, performance técnica) além do trimestre de nascimento. Os achados indicam que metodologias e resultados da maioria dos estudos focam em descrever o percentual de atletas nascidos em cada trimestre do ano. Portanto, o estudo do tema requer uma abordagem voltada à relação do EIR com a identificação de talentos esportivos e com o processo de desenvolvimento dos atletas em esportes individuais.

Palavras-chave: Efeito da idade relativa, Esportes individuais, Identificação de talentos, Desenvolvimento de atletas
