The importance of psychological variables in the perceived exertion of young football players

2017

Las escalas para medir la percepción del esfuerzo están entre los métodos que han sido utilizados para el control y la evaluación de la carga interna del entrenamiento en deportes de equipo como el fútbol. Debido a su naturaleza psicofisiológica, su registro proporciona información proveniente tanto de indicadores fisiológicos como psicológicos del deportista. Dentro del marco de la Teoría de la Autodeterminación (SDT, Self Determination Theory; Deci & Ryan, 1985; Ryan & Deci, 2017) y de la Teoría de las Metas de Logro (AGT, Achievement Goal Theory; Ames, 1992; Nicholls, 1989), en esta tesis doctoral se estudian tanto las variables contextuales desadaptativas (dimensiones del clima motivaci…

[Abstract] The objective of this study was to examine the effect of the situational match status variable on the ball possession of the teams that participated in the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The 52 games played during the championship have been collected, and 3,740 ball possessions made by the teams were analyzed. The teams have been divided into successful and unsuccessful. Three types of analysis have been carried out: a univariate analysis for both groups with the categorical and continuous variables selected; a bivariate analysis, using chi-square tests and the exact Fischer test; and finally, a multivariable technique such as the decision trees was incorporated. The available resu…

The effect of contextual variables on the attacking style of play in professional soccer

2021

The aim of this paper was to investigate the interactive effects of contextual variables on the attacking style of play in professional soccer. 5849 team possessions from 40 random matches from Spanish La Liga and English Premier League 2017-2018 were analysed by means of multidimensional observation. Multilevel multivariate logistic regressions showed that home teams had higher odds of implementing fast attacks (p<.05) and lower odds of implementing direct attacks (p<.05) than combinative attacks. High-ranked teams presented lower odds of using direct attacks (p<.05) than combinative attacks in comparison with low-ranked teams, while playing against high-ranked opponents decreased the prob…

Sports teams as complex adaptive systems: manipulating player numbers shapes behaviours during football small-sided games

2016

Small-sided and conditioned games (SSCGs) in sport have been modelled as complex adaptive systems. Research has shown that the relative space per player (RSP) formulated in SSCGs can impact on emergent tactical behaviours. In this study we adopted a systems orientation to analyse how different RSP values, obtained through manipulations of player numbers, influenced four measures of interpersonal coordination observed during performance in SSCGs. For this purpose we calculated positional data (GPS 15 Hz) from ten U-15 football players performing in three SSCGs varying in player numbers (3v3, 4v4 and 5v5). Key measures of SSCG system behaviours included values of (1) players’ dispersion, (2) …

Introduzione Il 25 luglio 2006 la corte Federale della F.I.G.C. ha emesso la sentenza di condanna per Fiorentina, Lazio, Milan e Juventus per illecito sportivo commesso con riferimento a 39 partite della stagione sportiva 2005/2006. La società torinese è stata condannata alla revoca dello scudetto della stagione precedente con contestuale annullamento del titolo conquistato in quella oggetto d’indagine e alla retrocessione in serie B (con penalizzazione di 17 punti, ridotti poi a 9 alla fine del procedimento presso la camera di Conciliazione ed Arbitrato del C.O.N.I.).

Technical, tactical and spatial indicators related to goal scoring in European elite soccer

2020

The aim of this study was to describe the technical, tactical and spatial indicators related to goal scoring in elite European soccer, considering the type of defence and the positioning of the opponent. For the analysis, 8 tactical dimensions related to the final actions in 380 sequences that led to goal during the UEFA Champions League were evaluated by observational methodology. 75.9% of the goals were scored from open play and 24.1% were scored from set pieces. Collective actions produced 51.6% of the total goals while individual actions produced 10.5% of goals. Regarding the penultimate action, crosses were more frequent against organized defences, while passes in behind the defence, o…
