Abstract

The aim of the present study was to compare the resilience among paralympic athletes in athletics according to gender, type of event, age, time of practice and etiology of disability. Were part of this study 107 paralympic athletes participants in the North/Notheast on Brazilian Athletics Championship 2020. Among them, 92 were male and 15, female. The average age was 31,25±12,80 years and the time of practice was  8,60±4,46 years. Data analysis was conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and independent t tests (p<0.05). The results showed that Paralympic athletics athletes perceive high levels of resilience regardless of gender, type of event, age group, time of practice and etiology of disability. It is concluded that regardless of gender, type of event, age group, time of practice and etiology of disability, Paralympic athletics athletes have high resilience scores.
