El gol como unidad de medida de rendimiento en futsal (Goal as a performance measurement unit in futsal)

Abstract

Introducción: El fútbol sala es un deporte moderno que se caracteriza por ser un juego muy rápido con veloces transiciones que generan continuas ocasiones de gol. Los equipos tanto a nivel nacional como internacional cada vez están más igualados por lo que el análisis y comprensión de lo que ocurre en la competición cada vez es más importante para poder tener una ventaja en la competición. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar y comparar los goles como unidad de medida acontecidos en tres de las mejores ligas europeas masculinas durante la temporada 2014-2015, definir sus características y establecer las semejanzas y diferencias entre ellas. Método: La muestra asciende a la totalidad de la población objeto de estudio, que corresponde a 110 partidos en la liga italiana con un total de 11 equipos, 240 en la liga española con 16 equipos y 273 en la liga rusa con 14 equipos, lo que supone un total de 623 partidos de los que se han podido analizar 619 y una muestra (n) alcanzada de 4716 goles. Resultados y conclusiones: No se han encontrado diferencias significativas entre la capacidad goleadora de las diferentes ligas estudiadas, siendo la liga rusa la más goleadora con una media por partido de 8.16 goles seguida por la española con 7.37 goles y la italiana con 6.67 goles. Los equipos locales anotan el 54.2% de los goles por el 45.8% como visitante. No se han encontrado diferencias significativas entre las ligas.Abstract. Introduction: Futsal is a modern sport characterized by a very fast game with speed transitions generating continuous scoring chances. National and international teams have very similar levels of performance, therefore the analysis and understanding of competition events become increasingly important in order to obtain an advantage in competition. The objective of this work is to analyze and compare goals as measurement units in three of the best male European leagues during the 2014-2015 season; to define their characteristics; and to establish the similarities and differences between them. Method: The sample includes the entire population under study, which corresponds to 110 matches in the Italian league with a total of 11 teams, 240 in the Spanish league with 16 teams, and 273 in the Russian league with 14 teams, which account for a total of 623 matches, 619 of which have been analyzed, providing a total of 4,716 goals. Results and conclusions: No differences were found between the scoring capacity of the different leagues studied, teams in the Russian league scoring the highest amount of goals per game (8.16), followed by the Spanish (7.37), and the Italian (6.67). Home teams score 54.2% of the total goals, whereas away teams account for 45.8% of the total. No significant differences were found between the leagues.

Ability to create goal opportunities: influence of playing either at home or away, dimensions of the field and number of passes per attack cycle in an under-19 elite football team ability

“…Silva et al, (2023) based his study on the team "Brasileirão" whose average of goals in the competition was 2.18 -2.68 goals per match during the period covered in this work (2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020)(2021) considered as a qualified and representative soccer champpionship for the accomplishment of his study. However, these data differ from other team sports such as futsal, where the number of goals per game is normally between 4.5 and 8 (Álvarez-Medina, Ramírez-SanJose & Murillo, 2019). For this reason, the final score of the match does not provide a clear picture of the technical and physical performance of a team; nor would it be feasible to use goals scored as an outcome variable due to the low probability of scoring in football (goals are achieved in approximately 1% of a team's possessions of the ball) (Tenga, Holme, et al, 2010a).…”

Effects of different strength and velocity training programs on physical performance in youth futsal players

“…Before each session of both training programs, as well as the pre- and post-intervention evaluation tests, a standardized warm-up protocol was performed for 10 min. This warm-up was structured as follows: (i) 3 min of continuous running at a moderate pace (60 % of maximum heart rate); (ii) dynamic stretching of quadriceps, psoas, and calf muscles; (iii) frontal and lateral ballistic stretching; (iv) lateral steps (monster walk) with the use of “mini-bands” at ankle level; (v) running at a moderate pace (60 % of maximum heart rate); (vi) running at a moderate pace (60 % of maximum heart rate); (vii) running at a moderate pace (60 % of maximum heart rate); and (viii) dynamic stretching of quadriceps, psoas, and calf muscles [ 1 , 25 ]. A 3-min hydration break was taken between the warm-up and the beginning of the sessions.…”

“…Futsal is a team sport composed of five players (a goalkeeper and four field players), characterized by its dynamism and the rapid succession of plays that generate multiple scoring opportunities. A competitive match consists of two 20-min halves, with a 10-min interval between each half [ 1 ]. Futsal players need to have intermittent endurance capacity, the ability to perform repeated sprints and muscular power in the lower body [ 2 ].…”

Influence of Game Indicators on the Ranking of Teams in the Spanish Soccer League

“…Home teams are motivated by their fans, creating a feeling of territoriality, and visiting teams are pressured [4] during matches. This means that home teams tend to take more shots and, therefore, the opposing team's goalkeeper makes more saves [5]. The differences in the movement profiles (intensities) in matches depending on the quality of the opponent have also been studied in the elite Spanish soccer leagues, in the First and Second Division [6], and the Second B Division [3].…”
