摘要：We sought to identify and analyze the most practiced adventures sports in Barra da Tijuca and São Conrado, as well as the training of the instructors responsible for conducting this sport aspect in the aforementioned natural spaces of Rio de Janeiro. From a field study, with a sample group of 176 instructors, it was possible to state that the most practiced adventure sports are free flight (81%), kite surfing (7%), surfing (5%), , rappelling (2%) and climbing (1%). As far as professional training is concerned, research shows that only 14% of the total number of instructors had physical education. Therefore, the study concluded that the most practiced adventure sports in the regions are the sea and mountain, as well as unveiling the need for physical education training, as well as training courses for adventure sports instructors, as well as for training those who are interested in acting in this field.
