Abstract

The current paper was originated from my Master´s dissertation on Sport and Physical Education presented in 2005 by Faculdade de Educação Física e Esporte da Universidade de São Paulo. It has as object of study the understanding how female athletes and former athletes notice themselves in relation to the divergences in the sports area from the gender perspectives. The group observed was formed of six Brazilian athletes and two former ones of the following sportive modalities: judo (1), swimming (1), soccer (1), handball (3) and volleyball (2). The data were collected by semi-structured interviews. The verb content was analyzed qualitative. The results indicate to a bigger or smaller degree of self  perception with the practiced modality by the athlete.

Keywords: Sport, Gender, Woman
