A Systematic Review of Collective Tactical Behaviours in Football Using Positional Data

A systematic review of empirical research on collective tactical behaviours in football revealed the following collective behaviours as possible indicators of better tactical expertise: higher movement regularity; wider dispersion in youth players and shorter readjustment delay between teammates and opponents.

Analysis of Playing Area Dimensions in Spanish Professional Soccer: Extrapolation to the Design of Small-Sided Games With Tactical Applications

The findings of this study suggest that the size of 4v4 situations proposed for training should be designed according to the pitch zone where playing actions take place.

Teaching games and sport for understanding

Over 30 years ago the original teaching games for understanding (TGfU) proposition was published in a special edition of the Bulletin of Physical Education (Bunker and Thorpe, 1982). In that time…

Interpersonal Dynamics: 1v1 Sub-Phase at Sub-18 Football Players

It is concluded that decision-making emerges from the perception that players draw from the action, actively and consistently interacting to find solutions to emerging problems within the game context.

Manipulating Task Constraints in Small-Sided Soccer Games: Performance Analysis and Practical Implications

Since an awareness of key task constraints can be extremely beneficial for coaches, the lack of scientific back- ground about the effects of altered game rules/conditions on individual or team…

Team Synergies in Sport: Theory and Measures

A key conclusion is that teams can be trained to perceive how to use and share specific affordances in individual performers, explaining how individual’s behaviors self-organize into a group synergy.

From Optical Tracking to Tactical Performance via Voronoi Diagrams: Team Formation and Players’ Roles Constrain Interpersonal Linkages in High-Level Football

Football performance behaviour relies on the individual and collective perceptual attunement to the opportunities for action (affordances) available in a given competitive environment. Such…

Periods of Competitive Break in Soccer: Implications on Individual and Collective Performance

Competitive breaks in soccer have been revealed to be detrimental to the individual and collective performance of soccer players and teams. Several studies have been carried out, and the evidence…

Skydiving Technique Analysis from a Control Engineering Perspective: Developing a Tool for Aiding Motor Learning

The free-fall stage of skydiving is investigated, when aerial manoeuvres are performed by changing the body posture and thus deflecting the surrounding airflow, and represented in terms of a dynamic response of closedloop control system offers an unconventional insight into the motor equivalence problem.

The study of motor skills under a view of hierarchical organisation of open system

This article considers human motor skills based on the concept of the hierarchical organisation of living systems. This concept considers apparently opposite phenomena (e.g. consistency-variability)…

Sport competition as a dynamical self-organizing system

This paper offers some examples of dynamical interactions in dyadic and team sports, as well as some predictions from a dynamical systems analysis for these types of sports contests, to initiate further research into the complex interactions that occur in sport competition.
