A presente dissertação teve como objetivo compreender os desafios e as oportunidades associados à prática desportiva em contexto de acolhimento residencial, a partir das perspetivas de jovens acolhidos e dos profissionais que os acompanham, procurando aprofundar e problematizar resultados de investigações anteriormente desenvolvidas através da sua devolução aos participantes. Foi adotada uma abordagem qualitativa, de natureza exploratória e interpretativa. A recolha de dados envolveu a realização de um grupo de discussão com elementos das equipas educativas e entrevistas individuais a jovens em acolhimento residencial e a profissionais das equipas técnicas de duas casas de acolhimento, num total de 13 participantes. Os dados foram analisados através da análise temática. Os resultados evidenciaram que a prática desportiva é percecionada como um importante promotor do bem-estar físico e psicológico, da regulação emocional, do desenvolvimento pessoal, da autonomia, da responsabilidade e das competências sociais, assumindo igualmente um papel relevante enquanto fator de proteção. Apesar destes benefícios, persistem barreiras relacionadas com os recursos financeiros e humanos, a logística, os transportes, a gestão de horários e a conciliação com as exigências escolares. Paralelamente, foram identificadas estratégias facilitadoras, destacando-se o apoio dos profissionais e dos pares, a flexibilidade das instituições, as aulas experimentais e o estabelecimento de parcerias externas. Este estudo contribui para aprofundar o conhecimento sobre o papel da prática desportiva no contexto do acolhimento residencial, reforçando a importância de promover respostas mais inclusivas e ajustadas às necessidades dos jovens, bem como de valorizar abordagens participativas na investigação e na intervenção.
This dissertation aimed to explore the challenges and opportunities associated with sport participation in residential care from the perspectives of young people and the professionals who support them. Building on previous research, the study sought to deepen and critically reflect on earlier findings by presenting them back to participants and discussing their current experiences. A qualitative, exploratory and interpretative approach was adopted. Data were collected through one focus group with residential care staff and individual semi-structured interviews with young people in residential care and technical professionals from two residential care institutions, involving a total of 13 participants. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings highlight that sport is perceived as an important contributor to physical and psychological well-being, emotional regulation, personal development, autonomy, responsibility and social skills, while also functioning as a protective factor. Despite these benefits, participants identified several barriers, including financial and human resource constraints, transport and logistical difficulties, time management and the challenge of balancing sport with school demands. Facilitating strategies included the support of professionals and peers, institutional flexibility, trial sessions and partnerships with community organisations. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of sport in residential care, reinforcing the need to promote more inclusive opportunities tailored to young people's needs, while highlighting the value of participatory approaches in both research and professional practice.
