Percepciones de autodefensa física de atletas mujeres: un estudio interdisciplinario en deportes de combate
Palabras clave:
Deportes de combate, Percepción de autodefensa, Mujeres atletas.Resumen
Este estudio investigó los niveles de percepción de autodefensa de mujeres atletas de deportes de combate frente a ataques físicos y exploró posibles diferencias entre disciplinas. La investigación incluyó a un total de 463 mujeres atletas voluntarias (edad media ± desviación estándar = 24.92 ± 8.30 años) con al menos 2 años de experiencia en judo (n = 150), karate (n = 128), taekwondo (n = 49), lucha (n = 54) y kickboxing (n = 82). A las participantes se les administró un «Formulario de Información Personal» y la «Escala de Autodefensa ante Ataques Físicos». Los hallazgos indican que las atletas de nivel nacional obtuvieron puntuaciones más altas en la subdimensión «autodefensa ante ataques físicos simples» (p < .032). Además, las mujeres que practicaban lucha y judo mostraron niveles de percepción significativamente más altos de autodefensa ante ataques físicos simples en comparación con aquellas que practicaban kickboxing (p < .002). Asimismo, una mayor experiencia se asoció positivamente con ambas subdimensiones (r = .207; p < .01 y r = .113; p < .05), mientras que una mayor edad presentó una correlación positiva baja pero significativa únicamente con la subdimensión «autodefensa ante ataques físicos simples» (r = .155; p < .01). Esta investigación puede servir como guía para mujeres interesadas en los deportes de combate con fines de autodefensa física.
