  • A Model of the Efficiency of Goalkeepers' Actions In
    HUMAN MOVEMENT (ISSN 1899-1955) 2020; 21(4): 44–53 A MODEL OF THE EFFICIENCY OF GOALKEEPERS’ ACTIONS IN FUTSAL © University School of Physical Education in Wroclaw original paper doi: https://doi.org/10.5114/hm.2020.95990 ANDRZEJ SZWARC1, MATEUSZ OSZMANIEC2 1 Soccer Laboratory, Faculty of Physical Education, Gdańsk University of Physical Education and Sport, Gdańsk, Poland 2 Town Hall of Bytów, Bytów, Poland AbstRACT Purpose. The aim of the study was to develop a model of the efficiency of actions of goalkeepers from top-level futsal teams. Methods. Goalkeepers’ activity, successful activity, and effectiveness were estimated with the consideration of accomplishing the game objectives in offence and defence and of the changing match status. The study applied the method of observation. Data about the game were registered on a self-developed observation sheet. Overall, 62 games of 23 goalkeepers participating in 31 matches of the World and European Championships and the UEFA Futsal Cup played in years 2012–2015 were observed. Results. It was found that actions to gain the playfield with the ball (41% of all actions) and to prevent a loss of a goal (28.2%) dominated in futsal goalkeepers’ game. Offensive actions accounted for 58% and defensive actions for 42% of all actions undertaken by the studied futsal goalkeepers in the observed matches. The examined competitors achieved the highest effectiveness in keeping the ball (97%) and in preventing scoring situations (96%). Conclusions. The created model mapping the top-skilled goalkeepers’ actions allows improving the process of coaching players by referring their game to objective patterns.

  • The Efficiency of Actions of Goalkeepers from Sports Effective
    Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity 2015;7(4):15-27 Journal of Gdansk University of Physical Education and Sport in Gdansk e-ISSN 2080-9999 ORIGINAL The efficiency of actions of goalkeepers from sports effective Authors’ Contribution: A Study Design B Data Collection teams in a game of futsal in matches C Statistical Analysis D Data Interpretation of the final tournament of the World E Manuscript Preparation F Literature Search G Funds Collection and European Championships in 2012 Mateusz OszmaniecABCDEFG, Andrzej SzwarcACDEFG Gdansk University of Physical Education and Sport, Poland abstract Background The purpose of the study was to develop a model mapping the efficiency of actions of futsal goalkeepers based on observation of their game in eight matches of the cup finals the World and European Championships in 2012. Material/Methods Data about the game were recorded on originally developed observation sheets. Activity, effectiveness and reliability of particular offensive and defensive actions aiming at achieving objectives of the game were investigated. Results It was found that in attack futsal goalkeepers mostly perform actions whose aim is to gain the playfield with the ball by passing it with a foot from the ground and to keep the ball by receiving it from partner. In turn, in defence, they mostly prevent losing goals by pushing the ball. Conclusions The created models of players’ performance should be used to create models shaping the game of players of a lower level of proficiency in order to improve the efficiency of their games as well as to develop individual programs of training for futsal goalkeepers.

    Technical Report Technical UEFA European Futsal Championship Final Round, Croatia 2012 INtrODuctiON CONTENT Sitting in the beautiful Zagreb Arena during the European Futsal Championship final between the holders Spain and Introduction 2 the challengers Russia, I was once again struck by the changes which have taken place in this special branch Tournament review 3 of football since we first organised a European futsal The final 6 tournament in the Spanish city of Córdoba in 1996. From the playing environment (with the designer black floor, The winning coach 7 electronic scoreboards and top-of-the range branding) to the game itself (with its improvements in skill, movement Technical topics 8 and speed), futsal is almost unrecognisable from 16 years ago. Yes, the Spanish are still winning and, like their Talking points 12 countrymen in the outdoor game, they continue to set Results 14 the benchmark. Having said that, we should note that, in Croatia, Russia came perilously close to disturbing the Team analysis 16 balance of power. Goals 28 But what about the future of futsal? I agree with our futsal expert Vic Hermans that if the technical quality is to be Technical team / Star selection 29 further enhanced, something needs to be done about Referees / Fair play 30 questionable tackling (i.e. aggressive challenges from the back or going to ground at pace). In a global sense, greater efforts will be required in the training of young players and in the education of coaches if expectations are to be met and the advancement is to be about design and not chance.
