Dribbling in football: Confronting learning theories

Abstract

The football game is the most beloved sport among society, especially for its emotional and recreational worthiness. Dribbling is the most important ability. It is intended to be as the capability of keeping the ball afloat preventing it from touching the ground by using the two lower limbs. The most time the ball lingers afloat, the highest level the doer shows to have achieved. The main point of this research is to spot the most adequate educative method in dribbling. By confronting two different learning methods, I have tried to develop a way of making headways in the above process. On the one hand the cognitive approach in the scientific paradigm turns out to work with a fabricated set of rules within which the little boy must move, whereas in the eco-dynamic approach the heuristic way of learning is followed. The results give out two solutions: the first one shows an increasing ability pursued by gradual repetitions, beginning with a low degree of complexity up until a major difficulty; the last one aims at getting gratification on "no ruling" ground. In the first case, the players must stick to the coach's orders and timing conditions. In the second one the doers are just given the space and tools, neither timing nor conditions are set. They only have to express themselves as much as they like. Both methods grasp to the ordinary educational system.

The use of enabling tests to provide a qualitative measurement of the sport skill level of small soccer players

“…first are often in contradiction with each other, in the past the trainers have become, as D'Arrigo (2018) says, "Slaves of football-related science" (Giordano et al 2019). Today it is unthinkable to separate the physical preparation from the natural preparation of the technical-tactical game that allows, in itself a real physical improvement when the training proposals are organized effectively .…”

Self-perception about health and wellness effects on recreational five-a-side football athletes

“…Exercise and sport sciences field is very widely and is investigated under several performance approaches (D'elia, 2019, D'Isanto, 2019, Sanseviero et al, 2019 but it is developing health and wellness applications (Gaetano, 2016, Tiziana et al, 2017, Severino et al, 2019. There are researches carried out on specific sports, aimed at demonstrating what improvements can come from its practice (Ceruso et al, 2019, Giordano et al, 2019. According to Raiola (Raiola, 2017, 2015ab, 2013, Raiola, Di Tore, 2017 about the psych-physical benefits for several sports, such as volleyball, basketball and football, it has shown the relationship in helping the body and mind (Ceciliani, 2019, Ceciliani et al, 2005, Valentini et al, 2018 to reach maximum strengths and motor coordination and so, performance efficacy.…”

The winning shares in the major football leagues

“…The use of match analysis by the athletic trainer has certainly widened the definition of the football performance model. We have moved from the simplistic conception of alternating aerobic-anaerobic sport and methods training (Ceruso et al, 2019, D'Isanto et al, 2019, Forte et al, 2019, Giordano et al, 2019, Severino et al, 2019, Raiola, D'Isanto, 2017, Rago et al, 2017 to that provided by the proZone system scholars "Calcium is characterized by intermittent activity with high-intensity anaerobic efforts superimposed on low aerobic activity". The objective has therefore shifted from improving aerobic and lactic capacity towards an increase in the ability to perform high intensity sprints for the duration of the race (Ruosi, 2007).…”
