The origin of goals in female futsal games during the open games of Santa Catarina 2019

Abstract

Women's futsal is a very recent modality and currently Brazil has the world powers of the modality and with this it becomes important studies that indicate the origin of the goals in futsal games to improve the understanding of the most important technical / tactical action during a match. This study aimed to analyze the origin of the goals in women's futsal games that occurred during the 59th Open Games of Santa Catarina (JASC) in 2019. In total 32 games were played and analyzed divided into groups and finals. The data collection instrument was a Scout adapted from Brancher (2019) in order to identify the goal's origin move (positional attack, offensive transition or set-ball), as well as the number of corners, fouls, ball replacements made by the goalkeeper and the sides that occurred during the game and with their respective locations on the court. In the results, it is observed that the positional attack plays obtained the highest incidence in the origin of the goals (60.26%), followed by counterattack (21.85%) and dead ball (17.89%). We observed that there was an imbalance of goals between the actions, in which the positional attack obtained a much greater result than the offensive transition and dead balls. We realized that dead ball actions are important, many of them rehearsed, for the origin of goals and strategic moves during the competition. This study is of great importance to improve training planning, making it more specific and more effective.
