Abstract:The First U21 European Deaf Football Championship Men was played in August 2016 in Wroclaw, Poland. No studies have documented or analysed sporting events for deaf players at the elite level. The aim of the study was to bring deaf football closer to the reader and analyse selected offensive actions recorded during the U21 Championship.Analyses were performed on the basis of video recordings from the stadium. Eight national teams participated in the Championship. Sixteen matches were analysed with reference to … Show more
“…Some times for Paralympics competitors. A review of databases of scientific journals has identified only several publications concerning hard-of-hearing players and teams (Milašius et al, 2014;Palmer et al, 2006;Steward et al, 1991;Szulc, 2017Szulc, , 2019Szulc et al, 2017).…”
The aim of the study was to identify the situational factors of a game which (a) might affect the victory or defeat in the game; (b) were common for matches played in a tournament for the hearing or deaf, including matches won or lost. The analysis included 37 matches of national deaf teams (5th World Deaf Basketball Championships, Poland) and 92 matches of national hearing teams (18th Basketball World Cup, China). During both tournaments, the matches played were divided into won and lost. We also presented analyses concerning 31 game situational variables related to the performance of national basketball teams at both events. All situational variables were subject to statistical analysis, including calculation of their means and standard
deviations, and determination of minimum and maximum. Discriminant analysis was performed, too. The analyses showed no statistically significant differences in almost all game aspects between matches won by deaf and hearing basketball players. Statistically significant differences in situational variables were observed between matches won during the 5th World Deaf Basketball Championships and matches lost during the 18th Basketball World Cup. The discriminant analysis allowed to determine the situational variables that affected the winning or losing of a game: missed shots for 2 or 3 points, free throws, defensive and offensive rebounds, as well as assists, steals, and turnovers. A classification matrix indicated 21 results of direct match competitions
achieved by deaf teams (winning and losing), which allowed to qualify these teams as hearing ones in terms of the values of game situational variables. Literature analysis revealed lack of scientific reports on deaf sport.

“…the aim of the work was to determine the offensive potential of teams participating in the 2 nd EDsO U21 in stockholm. the obtained results were compared with the level of offensive acts that took place during the 1 st EDsO U21 in Wroclaw [16]. Additionally, the results of matches and offensive actions were compared with those reported during the UEFA Under 21 championship in the czech republic (2015) [17] and in Poland (2017) [18].…”
Purpose. Almost no studies have documented or analysed sporting events for deaf players at the elite level. the aim of the study was to report on the 2 nd U21 European Deaf Football championship, analyse selected offensive actions and compare them with the 1 st European Deaf sports Organization (EDsO) U21 championship and Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) U21 events (2015 and 2017), as well as create a ranking of finalists of the deaf U21 tournaments. Methods. counting analyses were performed on the basis of video recordings from the stadiums of 1 st and 2 nd EDsO U21. Nineteen matches were analysed with reference to the number of goals, shots on target, and shots missed. Results. the mean number of goals scored per match during the 2 nd U21 (1 st U21) championship was 2.25 ± 2.27/team (1.81 ± 1.53). the number of shots on target and missed was 8.1 ± 5.7/team/match (6.9 ± 4.9) and 6.2 ± 3.9/team/match (5.4 ± 3.7). In 1 st and 2 nd EDsO championships, the most offensive play was presented by the teams of turkey, Poland, russia, and Ukraine. Conclusions. the winner of the tournament was the team with the highest shooting efficiency and the highest number of crosses in all matches. the analyses of the 2 nd U21 can be useful for the organization of coaching. Organizers of events for deaf athletes, however, do not pay much attention to careful registration of the event materials and match statistics, which are very important for the promotion of events for deaf athletes.
