- Development of sports network analysis : methodological considerationsPublication . Manuel Clemente, Filipe; M. L. Martins, Fernando; Silva, FrutuosoThe understanding of dynamic and complex systems requires a multi-directional approach toward the whole system. New mathematical approaches have been proposing new tools and techniques to understand the collective dynamics in team sports. Nevertheless, to ensure the quality of the techniques it should be considered the data collecting procedures. For that reason, the aim of this article is to suggest a set of methodological considerations to optimize the match analysis based on network.
- How dots behave in two different pitch sizes : analysis of tactical behavior based onposition data in two soccer field sizesPublication . Manuel Clemente, Filipe; Sequeiros, João Bernardo; Correia, Acácio; Serra-Olivares, Jaime; González-Víllora, Sixto; Silva, Frutuoso; M. L. Martins, FernandoThe purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of two different field sizes (full and half of an official size field) on the tactical behaviors measured by position data of players. Ten amateur soccer players (age = 23.39 ± 3.91 years old) were tracked with GPS units during two situations of 11 vs. 11, one in each field size. The position data was treated and the centroid and stretch index of the team were calculated with the Ultimate Performance Analysis Tool. Significantly greater values of centroid in goalto-goal axis (p = 0.001; ES = 3.794), centroid in lateral-to-lateral axis (p = 0.001; ES = 0.729) and total stretch index (p = 0.001; ES = 1.185) were found in the full-size game. The full-size of the field increased the distances between teammates and the distances to the centroid. Moreover, the position of geometrical center of the team was beyond of the middle line in the full size.
- Network process of children : influence of gender and type of game during cooperative-opposition gamesPublication . Silva, Soraia; M. L. Martins, Fernando; Sanchez, Juan; Silva, Frutuoso; Mendes, Rui; Campos, Francisco; Manuel Clemente, FilipeThe children, when playing, are communicating, since this is one of the forms of disinhibition and interaction with the group in which they are inserted (Lima, 2014). Ten children, five boys (n = 5; 5.8 ± 0.4 years old of age) and five girls (n = 5; 5.6 ± 0.5 years old of age) from a elementar school were observed during classes of motor expression. These classes took place once a week for a month, lasting one hour for each session. The interactions were observed with two cameras. It was counted as an interaction when a child passed one ball to another. The results suggest that it was in the “Free Game” that there were significant diferences between the type of game, since it was found in this one that it was easier for a player to be connected with his colleagues, being later the most requested, at the moment they had to pass the ball. Between the type of game and the gender, no significant interactions were found, as children who were the ones most requested by their classmates when they had to pass the ball were not verified. However, children who were crucial to maintaining cross-pass connections were also not checked. With regard to gender, no significant differences were found because no child, both male and female, has become important in sustaining the connections between the passes and the fact that no boys and / or girls were the most requested to make the passes with the ball. Finally, among the game types, no significant differences were found, since the children did not become essential to maintain the connection of passes between colleagues, in any of the matches played. The main objective of this study is to compare the interaction between female and male children in the type of cooperative-opposition games through Social Network Analysis.
