“…Of the 10 studies that analyzed the effects of training programs on decision-making (Table 4), 4 of them used a nonlinear pedagogy-based program to induce changes in the decisions made by participants [29,30,51,52]. Three of the studies used immersive three-dimensional videos to stimulate the decisions made by participants [22,53,54], and two of the studies used video feedback and questioning [48,49].…”

The aim of this systematic review conducted in the topic of youth team-sports players was three-fold: (i) Analyze the variations of decision-making processes between low- and high-level youth players; (ii) analyze the variations of decision-making processes between different age groups; and (iii) analyze the effects of decision-making training-based programs on youth players. Following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, this systematic review searched for studies on PubMed, ScienceDirect, Academic Search Complete, SPORTDiscus, and Taylor & Francis Online. The search returned 6215 papers. After screening the records against set criteria, 26 articles were fully reviewed. From the included studies, 9 were focused on comparing the decision-making process between low- and high-level players, 6 compared the decisions made by players from different age categories, and 11 analyzed the effects of decision-making-based training programs on youth players. Comparisons between high- and low-level players suggested that high-level and most talented players present a greater accuracy in the cognitive and executive answers to the game as well as being more adjustable to more complex situations. Considering the comparisons between age groups, a tendency of older players to execute more accurate decisions in the game and to have better tactical knowledge and behavior was observed. Finally, the effects of decision-making training programs suggest a beneficial effect employing practical scenarios (mainly based on small-sided and conditioned games), primarily improving passing decisions and execution. However, the benefits of interventions using videos are not clear.

“…Pragmatically, the results presented in this study could be scientifically useful in guiding researchers in choosing open context tests that simulate game characteristics, as well as guiding coaches in prioritizing training exercises that require the execution of open skills, composing the characteristics of the game, as evidenced in the study by Práxedes et al [24], where the practice based on reduced games, with modified rules and numerical superiority to attack favoured significant improvement in athletes' performance in decision making and pass execution compared with the practice prioritized in the exercise of closed motor skills.…”

Purpose. the paper aimed to compare the performance related to passing among the categories of professional and U-15 futsal players, in open and closed contexts. Methods. In total, 25 athletes were evaluated in 2 tests, namely open and closed contexts. the former aimed to observe the complexity of in-game execution in a dynamic and unpredictable mode, while the closed test simulated a closed and predictable task through the isolated execution of the pass. to compare the groups, the Student's t and Mann-Whitney tests were used, respectively, with the level of significance at p < 0.05. Results. there were significant differences across categories in the performance related to the open pass skill (p < 0.001). there were no significant differences in the closed pass context (p = 0.414). Conclusions. Only the open context test identified differences in performance between categories, with the superiority of professional players.

“…On the other hand, the level of opposition (level of numerical unbalance) was considered (Sampaio et al, 2014;Práxedes et al, 2018a). In all the tasks considered, a numerical superiority in attack was observed to highlight different offensive principles.…”

Based on ecological dynamics approach, non-linear pedagogy (NLP) have emerged with the goal of promoting a holistic approach through the use of small-sided and conditioned games (SSCGs), to optimize specific tactical defensive and offensive behaviors of players. This study analyzed the indirect effects of an intervention program, based on NLP (task design based on tactical principles of attack and numerical advantage of attacking team), in decision-making (DM) and execution (Ex) in defensive technical-tactical actions in U16 futsal. Eight futsal players (U16 years) participated in 12 training sessions, spread over two phases: preintervention and intervention. The Game Performance Evaluation Tool (GPET) instrument was used to analyze the DM and Ex of 2,600 defensive actions measured during competitive matches. Results showed significant improvements in marking actions (to the player with the ball: DM, p = 0.001; Ex, p = 0.001; and to the player without the ball: DM, p = 0.039; Ex, p = 0.046), improvements in blocking actions (DM, p = 0.015), and improvements in help-coverage actions (Ex, p = 0.014). No significant differences were found in the interception and tackling actions. This study has shown evidence that the NLP approach is an appropriate theoretical framework to enhance acquisition of defensive tactical behavior in futsal. However, not all actions improved. Therefore, coaches should design representative tasks to optimally develop technical-tactical training processes based on the phases of futsal game (offensive and defensive) and considering the level of opposition.
