          Abstract

          O Brasil foi, recentemente, palco de um dos eventos esportivos mais importantes do mundo, a Copa do Mundo de Futebol de 2014 e, em um futuro próximo, irá sediar os Jogos Olímpicos de Rio 2016. Esses eventos podem ser considerados como uma grande oportunidade para desenvolver a Ciência do Esporte no Brasil. A Ciência do Esporte pode ser definida como o processo científico utilizado para orientar a prática do Esporte, com o objetivo, em última instância, de melhorar o desempenho esportivo. No entanto, apesar deste objetivo, o consenso geral é que aplicação do conhecimento gerado pela Ciência do Esporte na prática ainda é incipiente. Este ensaio revisita o modelo para o desenvolvimento da Ciência do Esporte, proposto anteriormente por Bishop(1) , discute o cenário da Ciência do Esporte no Brasil e também aponta para as perspectivas futuras. As diretrizes do modelo revisitado, em conjunto com as discussões realizadas neste ensaio, podem ajudar o cientista do Esporte a desenvolver estudos aplicados nos quais os resultados poderiam ser utilizados para orientar a prática e, possivelmente, maximizar o desempenho esportivo.

          Translated abstract

          Brazil has recently hosted one of the most important sports events in the world, the 2014 Soccer World Cup, and in a near future will host the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. These events may be considered as a great opportunity to develop Sport Science in Brazil. Sport Science can be defined by a scientific process used to guide the practice of sport with the ultimate aim of improving sporting performance. However, despite this goal, the general consensus is that Sport Science research is not currently informing/guiding sport practice. This essay revisits the model for developing Sports Science proposed earlier by Bishop1, discusses the Sport Science scenario in Brazil, and also pointed out the future perspectives. The directions from the revisited model in conjunction with the discussions undertaken in this essay may aid a sport scientist to develop applied studies which results might be adopted to guide sport practice and maximize performance.

              The value of a non-sport-specific motor test battery in predicting performance in young female gymnasts.

              Gymnastics talent identification focuses on the identification of young gymnasts who display characteristics for potential success in the future. The aim of this study was to identify which current performance characteristics are related to performance in competition 2 years later. Twenty-three female gymnasts aged 7-8 years completed a multidimensional test battery measuring anthropometric, physical, and coordinative characteristics and were technically evaluated by expert coaches. Two years later, the all-around competition results of those gymnasts now participating in elite (n = 12) and sub-elite (n = 11) competition were obtained. None of the initial measurements significantly correlated with the results of the sub-elite gymnasts 2 years later. For the elite gymnasts, a non-sport-specific motor test battery correlated strongly with the competition result, with more than 40% of the variation in competition performance being explained by the result on that test 2 years earlier. Neither the coaches' judgement nor the anthropometric and physical characteristics were sensitive enough to predict performance. A motor coordination test might be valuable in the early identification of gymnasts, as its discriminative and predictive qualities might be sufficiently powerful for selection within a relatively homogeneous population of gymnasts exhibiting similar anthropometric and physical profiles.
