Avaliação da Eficácia Adaptativa em Atletas de Alto Rendimento: Um Estudo Exploratório Adaptive Efficacy Assessment in High- Performance Athletes: An Exploratory Study

This research aimed to evaluate the adaptive efficacy of Brazilian athletes samples and verify possible differences between groups depending on the sport modality (basketball, futsal and volleyball), category (youth and adult) and gender (male and female). Therefore, this research is based on the theory of adaptive effi cacy developed by Ryad Simon and on the Adaptive Operational Diagnostic Scale for Athletes (EDAO-AR-A), that assesses the effectiveness of adaptive efficacy in athletes through two adap tive sectors (Affective Relational A-R and Productivity Pr).
