Abstract

The objective of this study is to describe the roles of bullying in sports in a Cuban School for School Sports Initiation (EIDE) and to compare by gender, school categories and sports. Descriptive, cross-sectional study of a non-probabilistic convenience sample of 173 Cuban athletes (42.2% women and 57.8% men) aged between 8 and 18 years up to the time of evaluation. The incidence of bullying was evaluated using a questionnaire that included 70 items. The results show that there were no significant differences regarding gender, categories and sports studied. However, it was observed that the athletes (M) showed higher values in the role of victim and aggressor, while the athletes (F) did so in the role of observer. Likewise, schoolchildren showed higher average values in the role of aggressor and observer with respect to juveniles. The perception of the incidence of bullying in sports varied in the role of the victim, the aggressor and the observer. The results suggest that bullying episodes constitute a key problem in Cuban sports schools that deserve greater psychopedagogical attention, so that athletes can perform successfully.
