Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the levels of group cohesion in amateur basketball athletes, comparing the levels of cohesion of 2 different age groups: under-13 and under-15, at the beginning and at the end of a championship. 26 athletes participated (12 and 14 respectively). The instrument used was the Group Environment Questionnaire - QEG. The analyzes were conducted between the groups, comparing the results of the beginning and the end of the championship. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the groups at any time of the championship (beginning and end), for any dimension, with the investigated groups presenting high scores in the dimensions related to the task, both at the beginning and at the end of the championship. Thus, it can be considered that neither age nor the moment of competition factor influenced the levels of cohesion, since the two groups in the study had similar and high levels of group cohesion, both at the beginning and at the end of the competition.
