Development of a Test Instrument to Measure the Basic Pass Technique in Futsal

Abstract

Introduction: The passing technique requires a high skill level because the futsal field is narrow, and the distance between players is short, demanding strength and accuracy. An instrument of performance test is necessary to verify the evolution of this technique among the players. Objective: This study aims to develop a test instrument to measure the performance of futsal passing. Methods: Instrument preparation and reliability validity tests were applied in 120 athletes. Results: The results evidenced validity in the instrument with one minute passing time; that is, pass one is 0.855, and pass two is 0.857. The reliability value of the first Pass is 0.81, and the second Pass is 0.812. Conclusion: The development of the pass test tool is valid and reliable for its use in measuring the basic passing technique in soccer. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies – Investigating the results.

Needs Analysis in Preparing Playing Technique Skills Tests for Adolescent Football Athletes

“…A football player with good ball-kicking skills who can be used to shoot the ball towards the goal, clean up or sweep the ball from the defense area straight to the front, which defenders typically do to break up an opponent's attack, and perform a variety of kicks. Consequently, football players must be proficient in accurately and adequately kicking the ball (Doewes, Elumalai, and Azmi, 2022). In this context, "kicking" refers to executing long passes.…”

“…The essential elements of the long-passing method include the supporting foot, the kicking leg (either right or left), the movement of the leg swing, the visual focus, the specific part of the ball being kicked, and the posture following the kick. To achieve optimal results when executing a long pass in football, one must possess a robust physical condition and a thorough understanding and mastery of the correct kicking technique (Doewes, Elumalai, and Azmi, 2022).…”
