Sports management strategy to facilitate the preparation of combat sports athletes
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Sport is currently considered an unprecedented social phenomenon, and therefore all those involved in its development are constantly seeking ways to improve its management. In this regard, preliminary studies confirmed the existence of shortcomings in sports management that affected the preparation of combat sports athletes at the EIDE (School for Sports Initiation) in Camagüey.
Objective: To design a sports management strategy that facilitates preparation. The research is carried out using the participatory action research model.
Materials and methods: The theoretical methods used were analytical-synthetic and inductive-deductive; the empirical methods included document analysis, observation, and interviews, which were triangulated for the analysis of the results. The sample consisted of managers, coaches, and athletes from combat sports. Results: A sports management strategy was developed that promotes training based on the interdependence and synergy established between organizational and operational indicators. This led to improvements in the management process and in the qualitative and quantitative results of the sports under study.
Conclusions: The strategy is suitable for promoting the sports training of combat athletes at the Camagüey Sports Initiation School (EIDE).
