Description
Summary:In Portugal spaces for sports activities are defined in federal law as well as having a legal regime proposed by the Sports Confederation of Portugal (Portugal, 2009). Municipalities also have regulations establishing standards of operation and use of the sports facilities of the municipality (Castro Marim, 2003) which ultimately influence how this facility will be managed, as this regulation is an administrative tool (Cunha, 2007) and many of the actions and activities that must occur in the installation are determined by this instrument. Given the growth area of sport management and considering that sport development is given by the conditions for sports, we believe it is important to reflect about the professionals who are who are responsible for the tasks of planning and administration of these sporting spaces. Therefore, this study aimed to understand the manager profile sports facilities in northern Portugal through the survey, identification and comparison of points relating to personal characteristics, academic and functional. The results show overwhelmingly that the occupants of these positions are male, have mostly graduate in physical education or sport and concentrate most of their tasks in activities related to the areas of supply and maintenance and operation of the facility while activities of financial administration, marketing and promotion are conducted less frequently by managers.
