Abstract
The cooperation between teammates and the way in which such cooperation occurs is
fundamental to understand the social processes within a team. In the particular case of
sport such cooperation is inevitable in team sports. Therefore, recent metrics based in
Graph Theory have been providing a new approach that allows potentiating the
understanding of quantitative information. Therefore, this review aims to share the
techniques and possibilities of Social Network Analysis in the specific case of sport and
how such approach can potentiate the social studies. Will be presented and discussed in
this review techniques to analyze the network properties, as well as metrics to determine
the dependency between teammates and the prominence levels of players.
