Abstract

The aim of this study was to translate, adapt and validate the Perceived Available Support in Sport Questionnaire into Brazilian Portuguese. For this purpose, analyses of reproducibility, internal consistency and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted. The final sample consisted of 533 athletes from 14 sports from 14 to 19 years old. High indices of internal consistency (a=0.861), reproducibility (0.899) and content validity were found for language clarity (0.967), theoretical relevance (0.967) and practical relevance (1.000). In the confirmatory factor analysis, good fit indices were observed for a four-factor model reflecting emotional, esteem, informational, and tangible support (RMSEA=0.075; CFI=0.92; TLI=0.91; SRMR=0.042). it is concluded that the instrument has adequate psychometric indicators to assess the perceived available support in sport and its application in athletes involved in initiation, training and specialization sport programs is recommended.
