Institucionalização da ginástica para todos no Brasil:

três décadas de desafios e conquistas (1988-2018)

Abstract

This study analyzed the institutionalization of Gymnastics for All (GfA) within the Brazilian Gymnastics Confederation (CBG), between 1988 and 2018. A documental research and a field research were conduct, including interviews and questionnaires, whose data were treated by content analysis. We identified a gradual growth of GfA, although still without the consolidation of a national festival. The experts which collaborate with CBG contributed to administrative changes, despite difficulties in setting up the committee are still noted. It was found that the instructors training is carried out meanly by universities, without the participation of the CBG. Finally, greater attention to high performance sport is evident, hindering the development of GfA nationally.
