PurposeTo investigate the patterns of recovery of ball possession in a young futsal team.MethodsSeven games played by a youth futsal team were analysed. Patterns of recovery of ball possession were investigated on the basis of the following variables: way to recover the ball, location of recovery, tactical behaviour after the recovery, and result of the match. One-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey honest significant difference test were used to compare the variables. Principal component analysis was also applied to verify the association between variables.ResultsIt was observed that there was a greater number of ball recoveries in the defensive sector (F<sub>3,24</sub> = 35.6; <i>p</i> < 0.001; η<sub>p</sub><sup>2</sup> = 0.79), that set pieces were the most frequent way to recover the ball (F<sub>5,36</sub> = 7.9; <i>p</i> < 0.001; η<sub>p</sub><sup>2</sup> = 0.46), that ball possession was maintained more often after the recovery of the ball (F<sub>3,24</sub> = 79.6; <i>p</i> < 0.001; η<sub>p</sub><sup>2</sup> = 0.90), and that there was no correlation between the result of the match and the number of ball recoveries (F<sub>3,24</sub> = 0.20; <i>p</i> = 0.93; η<sub>p</sub><sup>2</sup> = 0.10). Four components were identified that represented a variance of 95% for all variables. Factor 1 was related to the patterns of ball possession recovery in the offensive sector, while factor 2 was related to the tackle.ConclusionsIt was concluded that the way to recover the ball and the location of recovery affected both patterns of recovery and tactical behaviour after the recovery of the ball.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
