Open-access The dual career in Brazilian women futsal: academic degrees and family background of elite and youth athletes of Paulista Futsal League

ABSTRACT

The dual career is the concomitant development of two careers in different areas, such as sport and academic. The aim of this study was to analyse the academic degree of women futsal athletes in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, both in the adult and junior ages. We applied questionnaires about academic and sport careers to adult, under-15 and under-17 athletes of Paulista Futsal League between the years 2019 and 2021, in addition to information about the academic degrees of their fathers and mothers. Futsal career played an important role in supporting the athletes’ academic career, demonstrated by their academic degrees higher than the population average, either by not interfering with their studies in basic education, or by offering scholarships for higher education.
