GOMES, Rui  y  DOMINGUES, Márcio. Transition of Athletes in Sport Career: From Theory to Evaluation. Motri. [online]. 2016, vol.12, n.1, pp.159-177. ISSN 1646-107X.  https://doi.org/10.6063/motricidade.4174.

This work analyzes the transition of athletes in sports, proposing a comprehensive model about career transition and an instrument to evaluate the transitions of athletes throughout their careers. First, it is described the Interactive Model of Human Adaptation to Career Transition, proposing that transition is a process constituted by the following factors: (a) circumstances of the career transition, (b) cognitive appraisal, (c) responses occurred during the career transition, and (d) final result of the career transition. Second, it is proposed an interview guide that evaluates six dimensions: (a) circumstances of the career transition, (b) available external resources, (c) demands faced during the career transition, (d) processes of cognitive appraisal, (e) psychological, physiological and behavioral responses, and (f) final result of career transition. The combination of theoretical models and evaluation instruments about the career transition may help to understand this phenomenon.
