Superioridade numérica altera a demanda física de jogadores de Futebol durante Pequenos Jogos

Abstract

-Small-sided games are used for the training of soccer athletes because they replicate the physical and technical demands in a game-related context. Different game configurations are possible, such as differences in the number of players, i.e., 3vs.3 or 4vs.4. However, unbalanced situations are common during a competition, but have been little studied in small-sided games. This study compared the physical demands of 3vs.3, 4vs.3 (additional player in the attacking team) and 3vs.3+2 (two supporting players around the field). Eighteen young male soccer players participated in the study. Data were obtained with a 15-Hz GPS unit equipped with a 100-Hz triaxial accelerometer. Thirty-six smallsided games were observed and each session consisted of two 4-minute small-sided games and 4 minutes of passive rest. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test, one-way ANOVA for repeated measures and paired t-test were used to analyze the data. A reduction in physical demands was observed for small-sided games performed in unbalanced situations (4vs.3), including a shorter total distance covered, distance covered at higher intensities, and acceleration demands. Similar results were observed for additional players compared to regular players. In conclusion, the presence of additional players changed the physical demands of soccer players. This result permits coaches to adjust training configurations to their intentions during each session.

The Influence of Small-Sided Football Games with Numerical Variability in External Training Load

“…To the best of our knowledge, no other study has considered a similar design to investigate the influence of variability in the number of players on the external training load. The work with the most similar results to our study was reported by Praça, Custódio, and Greco [41]. They concluded that the physical demands of players were reduced when adding an element to a team compared to situations in which they played in numerical equality.…”

How Numerical Unbalance Constraints Physical and Tactical Individual Demands of Ball Possession Small-Sided Soccer Games

“…6.4 ± 1.7 5.1 ± 1.2 4.9 ± 1.6 3.5 ± 1.3 2.9 ± 1.1 −1.5 (−3.3 to 0.3) −0.3 (−1.8 to 1.3) −1.4 (−3.7 to 0.9) −2 (−3.5 to −0.5) Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org player(s), increasing the distance covered at higher intensities as a result of an attempt of the team in inferiority to recover the ball and cover possible passing lines. It was also expected that individuals at this stage of players' development should be able to have a better tactical knowledge and understanding of the different affordances according to SSGs manipulations (Praça et al, 2015). Clearly, in High-Sup and Sup (4v2 and 4v3), players have more space and can spread around the playing area to easily keep ball possession; in Inf and High-Inf (4v5 and 4v6), players need to cover more distances at higher intensities to recover possession, due to a higher playing area density (playing area divided by the number of players).…”

Effect of Competitive Anxiety on Passing Decision-Making in Under-17 Soccer Players

“…Soccer is indicated to be a dynamic, unpredictable sport (Müller et al, 2016), requiring appropriate decisions due to the situational changes -which are constant during the game. The fundamental principles of soccer are: passing, shooting, ball control, heading, dribbling, feinting and tackling (Praça, Custódio, & Greco, 2015). According to Memmert (2010), passing is the main foundation to be successful in soccer.…”
