Composition of the Population (n = 198 deputies and 8 senators) Members of the FPE during the 54th Legislature of the Brazilian National Congress (n=206)
Characteristics: age, sex, party, ideological bloc, region, education, profession, political ideology and party
Mixed Methods Analysis: Prosopography and Network Analysis Deputies in the FPE during the 54th Legislature of the Brazilian National Congress (n=198)
Unit of observation	Technique	Proxy Variable	Indicators	Measures
Individuals (deputies and senators > n=206)	Profile Analysis (Prosopography)	1. Expertise	A. Antiquity in Congress B. Political Experience C. Status of candidate D. Parliamentary Activity⁸ 8 The Senate did not make this specific set of data available with regard to senators, meaning that it is impossible to know the number of commissions they participated in during the 54th Legislature. They only provided the committees in which they were present in 2014, when the data was collected. Be that as it may, the data concerning the 8 senators of the FPE are presented just to provide a picture of the whole, given that they were not considered in the hypothesis test. E .Presence in key commissions of Congress	a) Nº of legislatures in Congress b) Nº of elective positions previously occupied c) First term or re-elected d) Nº of appointments in commissions e) Mandates in 4 key commissions in the Chamber of Deputies: Board of Directors; Commission of Constitution and Justice; Ethics and Parliamentary Decorum Commission; and Parliamentary Attorney General
		2. Credibility	F. Party rooting G. Party experience	f) Party rooting of party migration g) Posts in party executive board
		3. Specialization	H. Level and area of schooling I. Exclusive participation in FPE J. Activity in commissions related to sports	h) Some level of schooling (a diploma) in the level of health (which encompasses sports) i) Exclusive participation in FPE or also in other fronts j) Presence in commissions related to sports
		4. Membership	K. Union activity, sectoral or associative activities related to sport	External relationship to sport (such as having been the president of a sports club or an ex-athlete)
Group (n=206)	Network Analysis	Centrality	Actors pointed out as central in the network	Degree of centrality Degree of closeness Betweenness
Hypothesis Test (Deputies > n=198)
(H1) FPE’s members with greater political expertise display more centrality		(H2) FPE’s members with greater party experience (credibility) are more central in the network.	(H3) FPE’s members more active in sports-related commissions and therefore with greater specialization are more central in the network	(H4) FPE’s members displaying membership regarding sports (outside congress) have more centrality in the network
