This work has as its theme: Sports and Women: The female bodybuilding beyond
appearances, which aims to identify the main limits and difficulties of the female
gender in being a bodybuilding athlete. Analyzes through the answers of athletes,
what is the limit for female bodybuilding reported by athletes linked to IFBB-Pa?. The
methodological approach was based on a field study research that focused on the
female bodybuilding athlete community. Through a semi-structured script, prepared
by the Google Forms platform and sent to fifteen (15) athletes, it was possible to
collect data virtually due to the current state of the pandemic, and consisted of
questions in the following axes: personal data , sports - athlete's life, conditions for
training and difficulties as a woman in a mostly male sport. The result of the research
was that there are two limits found by these athletes, they are: lack of sponsorship
and lack of recognition/support.
