The main aim of the study was to describe the key factors involved in the preparation process of the Brazilian bronze medal kata team for the 2019 Pan American Games, focusing on the athletes' perceptions.
Three male athletes from the Brazilian team performed a semistructured interview to identify the following topics: specific time for preparation, training organization, supplementary support, and perception and suggestion about the efficiency of the preparation process.
Data from interviews were gathered and coded, and the major themes were summarized as follows after performing content analysis of the data: (a) technical and tactical training took the major part of the preparation; (b) the high level of the coaches helped the team to reach the technical quality of the kata; (c) better psychological support during the preparation could improve the athletes' performance during the training and competition; and (d) the lack of financial support compromised the commitment of the athletes during the training routine.
We concluded, based on the athletes' perception, that the most positive factor during preparation for a major competition was the high amount of time focused on technical-tactical training. Even with limitations to performing the physical training, the athletes recognized the importance of the physical component, to increase performance. Financial and psychological support could have helped the team to reach a better result (gold medal) attenuating the training distress.
本研究的主要目的是描述2019年泛美运动会巴西铜牌套路团队备战过程中的关键因素，重点关注运动员的看法。
来自巴西队的三名男运动员进行了半结构化访谈，以确定以下主题：备战的特定时间、训练组织、补充支持以及对备战过程效率的看法和建议。
收集并编码访谈数据，在对数据进行内容分析后，主要主题总结如下：（a）技术和战术训练占备战的主要部分；（b）教练的高水平帮助团队达到套路的技术质量；（c）备战期间更好的心理支持可以提高运动员在训练和比赛中的表现；（d）缺乏资金支持影响了运动员在日常训练中的投入。
基于运动员的看法，我们得出结论，重大比赛备战期间最积极的因素是大量时间集中在技术战术训练上。即使在进行体能训练方面存在限制，运动员也认识到体能部分对提高成绩的重要性。资金和心理支持本可以帮助团队取得更好的成绩（金牌），减轻训练压力。
