“…Therefore, the purpose of this study was to design a futsal-50 specific test, which consists of evaluation of futsal skills (dribbling, dribble, long pass, F o r P e e r R e v i e w 51 short pass, ball control, rotation, combined movement, shoot and return from attack to 52 defence), and assess its validity and reliability, in Iranian futsal players. Futsal is one of 53 the most popular sports in Iran 16 and Iran has been ranked among the top 10 teams in the 54 world. 17 Moreover, most Iranian professional soccer players started with futsal prior to 55 playing soccer.…”

Purpose: To examine the validity and reliability of a novel futsal special performance test (FSPT) as a measure of futsal performance and skills. Methods: Thirty-six futsal players with different levels of experience were recruited and divided into 2 groups (elite and nonelite). Players participated in 4 sessions (at least 7 d apart): (1) familiarization session, (2) anaerobic power (Wingate test), (3) FSPT trial 1, and (4) FSPT trial 2. The FSPT was carried out on a futsal court (wooden sprung floor) and skills such as dribbling, rotation, long and short passing, and shooting were examined. Content validity was assessed by 6 experienced futsal coaches and instructors. Results: There was a significant correlation between FSPT and various aspects of anaerobic power (r = .5–.91; P ≤ .001). Moreover, significant large correlations were observed between test and retest of FSPT (r = .77; 95% confidence interval [CI], .56–.98; P ≤ .001). All instructors and coaches confirmed the content validity. There was high interrater reliability of the FSPT (r = .89; 95% CI, .85–.93; P < .001). FSPT total time (P = .001), penalty time (P = .022), and performance time (P = .001) were superior in elite relative to nonelite players. Anaerobic power was greater in elite players (P < .001). Conclusion: The results support the use of the FSPT to assess futsal players’ performance in conjunction with skill and anaerobic fitness.

“…In recent years, futsal has registered a fast but steady growth around the world, although it has been around since the 1930s. [1][2][3] Futsal may be similar to football, as it is a physically demanding sport; however, it possesses its own specificities, such as a smaller size of the pitch with a harder floor and being played with a harder ball, the reduced number of players (5 on each side), specific rules, and tactical actions, [3][4][5] along with a well-developed profile of aerobic fitness. 6,7 The rapid growth of futsal participation has led to an increased awareness of the injuries associated with the sport.…”

Objective To examine the effectiveness of the FIFA 11+ in reducing injury in futsal players. Methods Ninety‐one male futsal players from six amateur futsal clubs were recruited and assessed for eligibility, and 71 were randomized to the 11+ group (n = 37, age: 27.0 ± 5.1 years) and a control group (n = 34, age: 26.0 ± 5.1 years). The 11+ program was executed twice a week for 20 weeks, separated by a 10‐week period where both groups executed their regular warm‐up. Data on match, training exposure, and injuries were recorded during the regular season. Results The players sustained a total of 58 injuries during the futsal regular season, with 24 injuries in the 11+ group and 34 injuries in the control group; the overall incidence of injuries per 1000 player‐hours was significantly higher in the control group (11.6 vs 6.5; mean difference (95% CI) −5.1 (−9.1 to −1.1), P = .014). The 11+ group had a significantly lower incidence of acute (11.2 vs 5.7; −5.5 (−9.4 to −1.6), P = .007) and lower limb (8.7 vs 4.4; −4.2 (−8.1 to −0.4), P = .032) injuries per 1000 player‐hours. Players from the control group had a higher number of days injured (20.4 ± 17.3 vs 10.5 ± 9.1, P = .036). Conclusion The FIFA 11+ is an injury prevention program suited for injury reduction in amateur futsal players, as it reduces the incidence of overall, acute, and lower limb injuries during the season.

To investigate elite women sports career development can be a way to better understand how gender issues and specific women sport practice conditions have influenced athletes' life and personal experiences, also subside reflections on policies and pedagogic intervention on the sport. The aims of this study were to investigate and describe the process of sports career development lived by Brazilian women elite futsal players, based on their own sport experiences and perspectives on futsal. Methods: Data of this qualitative study were produced by semi-structured retrospective interviews with 13 Brazilian elite women futsal players. Data gathering and data analysis were based on the Grounded Theory method. Results: This section is organized in four axes, with their main categories in parenthesis: 1.Diversified experiences in childhood and youth (enjoyment related to diversified sport practices); 2.Initiation on 'kicking ball games' practices (experiences with football and futsal informal practices and suffering of prejudice related to gender issues); 3.Systematic participation in futsal practices (experiences in systematic futsal practices within older age groups); 4.The investment on elite futsal career (moving from football to futsal career). Conclusion: Interviewed players had their first sports experiences on a variety of practices during sport initiation in childhood. The beginning on systematic practice of futsal occurred later than men athletes. The lack of competitions for young girls, and the fact that futsal and other 'ball kicking games' are considered as men preserve practices contributed to the late sport specialization process. The athletes' career presented strong thresholds related to gender issues on futsal.
