RESUMO

Brazilian female athletes results in Artistic Gymnastics evolved hugely in international level competitions in the last ten years. In the search of scientific information about this evolution, the present study aimed to learn about the long-term athlete development of the Brazilian female Artistic Gymnastics participating in Olympic Games in the period between 1980 and 2004. In order to do so it was developed a qualitative research which made use of the Oral History methodology. Testimonies were gathered among the ten classified Brazilian athletes for the Olympic Games in this period of time, to obtain the diagnosis of their sport life. From the field research and testimonies 14 themes emerged and were analysed: sport initiation in Artistic Gymnastics, participation in other sports modalities, their idols, facilities of trainings, designing training programs, nutritional aspects, psychological aspects, injuries, the participation in the Olympic Games, the relationship coach-athlete, parental support, financial conditions, most important influences and retirement in Artistic Gymnastics. As a result of this analysis there is an indication of an educational proposal for long-term athlete development in Women´s Artistic Gymastics
