Description
Summary:We aim to contribute to the understanding and quality of sports and leisure management. In this sense, we focus on four aspects: (1) availability of information; (2) managers' sex; (3) attention to sports and leisure; (4) paths for advancement. Our study object consisted of 59 official sites of municipalities allocated in four Identity Territories of Bahia. The study was documental and descriptive. We have identified that many municipalities of the Bahia present problems regarding the availability of information about sports and leisure, that the position of municipal manager tends to be assumed by men and that some regions may present greater focus in a certain sector (sport or leisure). We conclude that the management of sports and leisure in the majority of municipalities investigated needs changes, and in this sense, we present four proposals aimed at contributing to its qualification.
