Abstract

Objective: to characterize the sports coordinator of the municipal sports entities of the department of Caquetá, in terms of their suitability at the time of holding public office. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out, with a quantitative design and a descriptive scope. A self-administered questionnaire designed using Google Forms delivered by the researchers was applied. Results: In relation to the last level of training reached, it was found that 50% of the respondents are professionals. 43.8% of those surveyed responded that their last level of training attained was more related to the administration and 25% stated that it was more related to sport. 62% of the sample has less than five years of experience in administrative positions in the sports sector. Conclusions: The academic profile of the municipal sports coordinators of the department of Caquetá is not the most appropriate to hold public office in matters related to sports administration, given that a higher degree of academic training and expertise is required to promote sports processes in the Department. In the department of Caquetá eight (8) of the municipal sports coordinators have training in higher education, especially at the professional level. Considering the last level of training reached by the municipal sports coordinators, seven (7) have a greater relationship with the administration and four (4) with sports.
