Abstract

Abstract This study aimed to construct a tool for observing the imbalance pass in futsal through Microsoft Excel® software and to establish its content validity and intra- and interobserver reliability based on the calculation of the content validity coefficient (CVC) and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). For the construction of the tool, futsal specialists (n = 10) with an average age of 44.1 ± 12.34 years and 19 ± 7.21 years of experience in the field participated in the study. 60% of the specialists have international-level expertise and 50% are active in practice and in academic field (higher education professor). According to the methodology, 23 items were proposed to assess the imbalance pass in futsal. CVC was calculated based on language clarity, practical pertinence and theoretical relevance for each item of the instrument and for the instrument as a whole; ICC was calculated based on intra- and interobserver agreement. Language clarity, practical pertinence and theoretical relevance revealed a result of 0.92, 0.93 and 0.95, respectively, and the values for intra- and interobserver agreement reliability were excellent according to the literature (> 0.75). Thus, it is concluded that the items proposed in the tool obtained satisfactory psychometric properties.

Highlights

  • Futsal is a collective sport in which interactions between players are essential to continue the game

  • The content validity coefficient (CVC) values calculated in this research for language clarity, practical pertinence and theoretical relevance, as well as inter- and intraobserver reliability are within the parameters accepted[15] and previously described in the literature[18,19,20,21]

  • The use of only two observers to calculate the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) represents another limitation.we suggest for future research to apply the tool in populations of different sexes and different competitive levels in order to generalize the use of the instrument

Summary

Introduction

Futsal is a collective sport in which interactions between players are essential to continue the game. The space-time communication between the players allows reaching the momentary objective of the game (progression or possession of the ball), where it originates through the action of a pass. The pass is a collective action that requires tactical action adjusted to the context, based on the spatiotemporal relationship with the teammates and the projection of the ball into that space in view of the time available with the appropriate biomechanics[3]. In unpredictable sports, right and wrong depend on the context played at that time and the objective achieved.The same pass executed at different moments may have different consequences. A research performed by Oliveira et al.[5] reported 10795 passes in a single adult male futsal competition with 16 games, obtaining an average of 675 passes per game, revealing very expressive numbers to be treated with simplicity
