Tactical tactical knowledge of soccer, futsal and soccer players 7: comparisons

Abstract

The aim of this study was to characterize and to compare the procedural tactical knowledge
(PTK) of soccer players, futsal and football of seven. There were 57 male players under-14 and
15 of which nineteen of soccer, nineteen of futsal and nineteen football of seven. To
characterize the PTK of athletes was used the test of procedural tactical knowledge (TPTK).
The chi-square test was used to compare the frequencies of tactical actions within different
modalities. Moreover, inter and intra reliability protocols were carried out and the level of
significant 0,05 was adopted. Results showed that the item two presented more frequencies
between the soccer players in comparison to the football of seven. Moreover, the attack items
were more frequents than the defense items. It was observed that the PTK scores were not
different between the modalities. Future investigations about the PTK in different ages and level
of expertise become relevant in order to optimize the teaching-learning-training process in these
modalities.
