Harmonic Capabilities and their Relationship to the Planned Behavior of Iraqi National Futsal Team Players

Match performance in a reference futsal team during an international tournament - implications for talent development in soccer.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that futsal can aid talent development for 11 a-side soccer through the potential for transfer of the game’s skills and constraints. However, additional scientific research is necessary to enhance understanding of the technical and physical demands of futsal and the potential returns for soccer player development. Accordingly, this study examined selected characteristics of physical (internal and external loads) and technical performance in international futsal match-play in order to study the potential of these for skill transfer and aiding soccer player development. Performance was investigated in futsal players (n = 16, 25.74±4.71 years) belonging to a national team during an international tournament. Pre-tournament fitness testing determined maximum heart rate (MHR) via the Yo-Yo IR1 test (194.6±11.1 beats min-1) to aid interpretation of internal load via heart rate measures during match-play. External load (accelerations and deceleration events) was measured using an inertial movement unit. Finally, post-tournament analysis of selected technical events was performed. Results reported a mean heart rate value during ‘court time’ of 164.7±22.3 beats min-1, which as a percentage of participants’ MHR was 87.7%±4.4%, and a mean peak MHR of 98.3±2.5%. Results showed 2.16±0.25 accelerating (>1.5 m·s-2) and 2.78±0.13 decelerating (>1.5 m·s-2) events per player per minute. Team statistics included 647 passing, ~51 dribbling and 78 set play events per team per game. Match analyses showed that 77.3% of ball receptions were completed with the sole of the foot. Assessment of two-footedness showed 80.1±16.7% of individual possessions used the dominant foot to receive and 84.1±10.7% to pass the ball thereby displaying strong foot dominance. These results have quantified characteristics of elite futsal match-play that are no doubt intrinsically related to the environmental and task constraints of the sport. In addition to enhancing understanding of futsal, there are potential learning returns and implications for skills transfer and the development of soccer players.

Fitness profiles of professional futsal players: identifying age-related differences

Summary Study aim: The aim of this study was to determine the fitness profiles of senior and junior futsal players and to identify potential differences between the studied age groups. Materials and methods: 44 male futsal players from 5 professional futsal teams participated in this study. Subjects were divided into two age groups (seniors [>18 years; n = 26] vs juniors [<18 years of age; n = 18]). Players were tested for anthropometrics (body mass, body height and body fat percentage), jumping capacity (countermovement jump and standing broad jump), kicking speed (for dominant and non-dominant leg), sprinting capacity (5- and 10-meter sprints), 20-yard test, futsal-specific reactive agility, and futsal-specific change-of-direction speed tests. Results: No significant differences between age groups were apparent for anthropometrics. Seniors achieved better results than juniors in tests of kicking speed, for both the dominant (106.81 ± 6.94 km/h and 100.94 ± 5.33 km/h, respectively, t-test: 3.02 [p < 0.001], Cohen’s d: 1.02) and nondominant leg (95.54 ± 8.57 km/h and 85.28 ± 8.71 km/h, respectively, t-test: 3.88 [p < 0.001], Cohen’s d: 1.25). Conclusions: Seniors did not achieve significantly better results than juniors in most of the observed variables. Since the maximum biological maturity occurs up to 18 years, and studied juniors were in their late adolescence, we can assume that differences between groups are related to other indices (i.e. technical skills, tactical knowledge).

Preseason Injury Characteristics in Spanish Professional Futsal Players: The LNFS Project.

López-Segovia, M, Vivo Fernández, I, Herrero Carrasco, R, and Pareja Blanco, F. Preseason injury characteristics in Spanish professional futsal players: the National Futsal League (LFNS) project. J Strength Cond Res 36(1): 232-237, 2022-This study aimed to examine the incidence of injuries and their characteristics among professional Spanish futsal players during the preseason period and to compare injury-related variables in the context of both competition and training. Eleven futsal teams belonging to the First and Second Spanish Division and 161 players participated in the study. Characteristics of injuries, including type, location, cause and time of injury, injury recurrence, and duration of absence, were recorded. A total of 62 injuries were reported; injury rates of 9.9 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.0-12.5) injuries/1,000 training hours and 61.1 (95% CI: 25.7-96.5) injuries/1,000 match hours were collected. These data indicate a mean of 5.64 ± 2.66 injuries per team during the preseason period. Of these injuries, 92.1% involved the lower limbs. When data from training and competition were analyzed together, the highest incidence of injuries affected the ankle (21%), followed by the hip/groin and knee (19.4% each). The most common type of injury was muscle rupture/tear/strain (29.0%). During training, the highest percentage of injuries were located in the knee (23.9%), followed by the ankle and hip/groin (21.7% in each case), while during matches, the thigh (35.7%) followed by the ankle (21.4%) was the regions most affected. A significant relationship (p = 0.008) was observed between injury cause (without contact, with other player, with the ball, and others) and injury context (training, match). To conclude, the results of this study suggest the need for injury prevention protocols focuses on the ankle and the knee joints and muscle strain prevention.

Injury incidence, characteristics and burden among female sub-elite futsal players: a prospective study with three-year follow-up.

The main purpose of the current study was to analyze the injury incidence, characteristics and burden among sub-elite female futsal players. Individual exposure to match play and training, injury incidence and characteristics (player position, injury mechanism, type of injuries, severity of injuries, recurrent vs. new injuries, season variation of injury pattern) in a female futsal team were prospectively recorded for three consecutive seasons (2015–2018). Incidences were calculated per 1,000 h of exposure. A total of 30 injuries were reported during the three seasons within a total exposure of 4,446.1 h. The overall, match and training incidence of injuries were 6.7, 6.4 and 6.8 injuries/1,000 h of exposure, respectively. Most injuries had a non-contact mechanism (93%), with the lower extremity being the most frequently injured anatomical region (5.62 injuries/1,000 h of exposure). The most common type of injury was muscle/tendon (4.9 injuries/1,000 h of exposure) followed by joint (non-bone) and ligament (1.3 injuries/1,000 h of exposure). The injuries with the highest injury burden were those that occurred at the knee (31.9 days loss/1,000 h exposure), followed by quadriceps (15.3 day loss/1,000 h) and hamstring (14.4 day loss/1,000 h) strains. The first few weeks of competition after pre-season and soon after the Christmas break were the time points when most injuries occurred. These data indicate that sub-elite female futsal players are exposed to a substantial risk of sustaining an injury. To reduce overall injury burden, efforts should be directed toward the design, implementation and assessment of preventative measures that target the most common diagnoses, namely, muscle/tendon and ligament injuries.

Дослідження функціонального стану футзалістів високої кваліфікації протягом змагального макроциклу

Recent decrease in the level of the national team of Ukraine achievements at the official international competitions requires domestic experts to include in full capacity all the links of the management system of this sports event. Only in the context of the increased attention to futsal in the world, we will be able to adequately support the high reputation of Ukrainian indoor football that has been achieved in the first decade of this game development in our country. Objective. To prove the effectiveness of the author’s program of training for futsal players. Methods. Analysis of scientific literature, testing. Results. The study involved 21 athletes of futsal team “Sokol” (Khmelnytsky). The following tests were used to determine the level of functional status of both the team and according to playing position: PWC 170 , MSC, Ruffier test and HR in rest. They allowed to analyze the changes in the functional state indices of futsalists during the first phase of the main study (August 2016 and May 2017), where the traditional training program was utilized, as well as during the second stage, where an experimental program for improving technical and tactical actions of the futsalists was implemented (August 2017 and May 2018). The stability of functional fitness indices of athletes has been revealed, regardless of the training program. The higher total team indices of MSC and PWC 170 have been revealed in “goalkeeper” and “player of defense”. Analysis of PWC 170 index showed a significant increase in total team performance indices from 1068 to 1144 W ∙ kg –1 . Significant differences between the initial and final futsal team indices between the first and second stages of the main study (5.4 and 7.2 con. un.) have been observed. Team indices of the Ruffier-Dickon and HR at rest during the study period have not been noted. The positive dynamics of team indices according to the results of the functional test of Ruffier-Dickson after the use of the author’s program was revealed, which was manifested in a slight improvement of the indices (by 5.7 %). It is proposed to investigate the effectiveness of the program through the impact on special physical qualities of athletes, on the one hand, and on the other – through the change in the motivational component during the performance of technical and tactical actions.

Effects of stretching before intense exercise training on hematologic and cellular injury indices

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of stretching before intense exercise on hematologic parameters and cell injury. Subjects: The subjects of the present study were 12 adolescent members of the Kurdistan Province futsal team (age: 14.83 ± 0.38 years, height: 173.92 ± 5.90 cm, weight: 63.50 ± 7.94 kg, peak power: 459.42 ± 95.94 watts). The RAST test was used to estimate the anaerobic power and to create the training load. Indexes of blood including white and red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet and the levels of CK and LDH enzyme activities were measured. Results: The results of the pre and the post tests showed that among hematological parameters and cell damage indexes, the red blood cell and hemoglobin in both groups and the level of LDH in the training group were not significantly changed (p>0.05). Other parameters in the pre-test and post-test measures were statistically changed (p<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, it seems that stretching before intense training decreases the cell damage and side effects of exercise training on the hematological factors.

Goal effectiveness after players’ dismissals in professional futsal teams

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to analyse the effect of players’ dismissals on the outcome of attacks in elite futsal matches, and to establish the performance profile of the attacks made in numerical superiority by elite futsal teams. One hundred and twenty five attacking game situations in numerical superiority (dismissal of opponents from defensive team) were analysed from the regular season of the Spanish professional Futsal League. The effect of contextual-related variables (quality of opposition, match-location, match-periods, opponent team’s fouls, match-status, attack-duration and match-type) on goal effectiveness was analysed using binomial logistic regression and two-step cluster analysis. Results from the binary logistic regression showed that the highest attack effectiveness was achieved when the teams play at home, perform the attack during minutes 33–36 and the opposing team has 3 fouls. Secondly, the two-step cluster analysis technique allowed identifying four types of attacks when the teams were playing with numerical superiority. The results showed the great importance (in order) of match-type, match-status, attacking team’s fouls, match-period, quality of opposition, opposing team’s fouls, match-location, goal situation, and attack duration. The identified trends may help coaches to design the superiority/inferiority scenarios more specifically during training and to monitor them during competition.

INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION STRATEGY OF TRAINERS AND PLAYERS IN IMPROVING THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE FUTSAL TEAM OF UPI BANDUNG (Qualitative Study of Putri UPI Bandung Futsal Team)

Abstract: Interpersonal Communication Strategy for Trainers and Players in Improving the Achievement of UPI Bandung Futsal Team. Interpersonal communication is communication that has a large effect in terms of changing the attitudes and thoughts of others, especially individuals. This is because, usually the parties involved in the communication meet directly, do not use the media in delivering the message so that there is no distance that separates the communicator from the communicant. The diversity of the UPI Bandung Futsal Club players led to the need for an appropriate communication in a training situation and at the time of evaluation after the training of the players. Interpersonal communication is considered necessary to be used and controlled by a trainer in communicating to players during training in the field as well as interactions outside the field. UPI Bandung Futsal Club has three training programs, including strategy training, physical training, and agility training. Good communication will facilitate the process of sending the intended message from the coach, so that if what is instructed from the three training programs by the trainer then performed well by the player. The author chooses the effectiveness of Interpersonal communication between the trainer and the UPI Bandung Futsal Club player, because researchers are interested in the background of the different tribes of players and the players who are women. In addition, an increase in achievement adds to the interest of researchers to find out more about interpersonal communication at the UPI Bandung Futsal Club in improving achievementThis study aims to describe and analyze How Interpersonal Communication Strategies for Trainers and Players Improve UPI Bandung Futsal Team Achievement (Qualitative Study of Teams Putri UPI futsal Bandung). "This research uses descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The focus of the research include: (1) The Role of Interpersonal Communication of Trainers and Players in Improving the Achievement of UPI Bandung Futsal Team (2) Interpersonal Communication Strategy of Trainers and Players in Improving the Achievement of UPI Bandung Futsal Team (3) Results of Interpersonal Communication of Trainers and Players in Improving Team Achievement UPI Bandung Futsal (4) Driving and Inhibiting Factors of Interpersonal Communication Strategy for Trainers and Players in Improving the Achievement of UPI Bandung Futsal Team. The results of this study are the strategies of Interpersonal Communication for Trainers and Players in Improving the Achievement of the UPI Futsal Team in Bandung.

Evaluation of nocturnal heart rate variability for strenuous exercise day using wearable photoelectric pulse wave sensor.

In this study, we examined whether or not the strenuous exercise in the evening change nocturnal heart rate variability (HRV) and recovers. Subjects were 8 healthy men belonging to the mature futsal team (age: 35±3 years) and Futsal was held from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Sunday. Pulse waves during sleeping were measured at home on exercise day and on control day. The mean pulse interval (MPI), standard deviation pulse interval (SDPI), low frequency component (LF, 0.04–0.15 Hz), high frequency component (HF, 0.15–0.45 Hz) and the ratio of LF to HF (LF/HF) were calculated from pulse interval time series every 30 min. As a result, MPI, SDPI, LF, HF of exercise day were significantly lower than control day (P<0.0001). LF/HF of exercise day was significantly higher than control day (P<0.05). Regarding change of HRV for every 30 min, MPI (P<0.05), SDPI (P=0.0003), LF (P=0.0038), HF (P<0.05) were observed significant changes. MPI and HF before wake-up did not reach the level of control day. It is thought that strenuous exercise in the evening promotes sympathetic nervous activity during night sleep and suggesting that pulse rate and HRV have not recovered by the wake-up time.

Futsal as a potential talent development modality for soccer – a quantitative assessment of high-level soccer coach and player perceptions

ABSTRACTA contemporary issue in soccer talent development is the potential use of futsal as a training tool. This paper utilised survey methods to quantitatively assess the perspectives of high-level coaches working in youth player education, and players of futsal and 11-a-side soccer (n = 77). Respondents completed surveys before and following a showcase game between an Under-21 international futsal team competing against a Premier League Under-21 soccer team. Responses were positive about futsal as a training aid and specifically regarding skills transfer from futsal into soccer. The majority of respondents (89.6%) indicated “post-game” that futsal could be useful for soccer talent development. Similarly, 90.9% stated they would consider its integration into their programs. Analysis regarding futsal constraints and the impact specific rules may have on skill acquisition generally reported positive perceptions: 89.6% of participants suggested that pitch size improved skills (strongly agree = 33.8%, agree = 55.8%), 88.3% believed the pass back rule enhanced ball reception skills (strongly agree = 27.3%, agree = 61%), and 89.2% perceived that futsal can help develop “multifunctional” players (strongly agree = 27.3%, agree = 62.3%). Knowledge of constraints and the potential for skill acquisition linked to futsal participation is a first step in aiding soccer coaches to understand potential learning returns from its inclusion in talent development policies and programs.
