Given the importance of sport at a global level, the competitiveness of sport systems is a determining factor in attracting resources from different sectors. Competitiveness is largely measured by the athletes' level. Therefore, the production of competitive talent is an aspect that occupies the managers of different sports systems. This study analyzed the factor structure and reliability of a questionnaire for the evaluation of the perceptions of actors of a sport (canoeing) on the ability of the national system to produce talent in one of its modalities recently incorporated in the Olympic Games (OG) of Tokyo 2021. The sample consisted of 167 individuals linked to Spanish canoeing, who responded to the questionnaire "Evaluation of the current position in canoeing-sport with regard to talent" of the International Canoe Federation (ICF). Exploratory, confirmatory and reliability factor analyses were performed. The results showed a one-dimensional factor structure composed of seven items, with good and excellent goodness-of-fit values and high reliability (McDonald's Omega = 0.82). Thus, the ICF questionnaire can be considered a quick and easy to apply tool to analyze the perceptions about the development of talent in canoeing in order to take actions for the recruitment, promotion and development of talent.
鉴于体育运动在全球层面的重要性，体育系统的竞争力是吸引来自不同领域资源的决定因素。竞争力在很大程度上取决于运动员的水平。因此，培养有竞争力的人才是不同体育系统管理者关注的一个方面。本研究分析了一份问卷的因子结构和可靠性，该问卷用于评估（皮划艇）运动参与者对国家系统在其最近被纳入东京 2021 年奥运会的一个项目中培养人才的能力的看法。样本由 167 名与西班牙皮划艇相关的个体组成，他们对国际皮划艇联合会（ICF）的“关于皮划艇-运动中人才的当前地位的评估”问卷做出了回应。进行了探索性、验证性和可靠性因子分析。结果表明，该问卷具有由七个项目组成的单维因子结构，具有良好和优秀的拟合优度值以及较高的可靠性（麦克唐纳的 ω=0.82）。因此，ICF 问卷可以被视为一种快速简便的工具，用于分析对皮划艇人才发展的看法，以便为人才的招募、提升和发展采取行动。
