Orientador(es)
Resumo(s)
The aim of this study it was verify the differences of prominence levels between tactical positions in
futsal (indoor football). For that reason, it was performed an analysis of variance between competitive levels and
tactical positions for the centrality metrics computed by using network analysis. Forty-six futsal players from
different competitive levels (U12, U14, U16 and Amateurs) it were analysed during three official futsal matches.
Results revealed no differences in centrality metrics between competitive levels (p = 1.00; = 0.001; very small
effect size) had no significant statistical differences in the centrality metrics. Nevertheless, tactical position (p =
0.001; = 0.593; moderate effect size) had significant main effects on the centrality metrics. Centrality metrics
revealed that defenders are the most prominent players in to receive the ball. By the other hand, defenders and
wings are the positions with greater centralities in to pass the ball for the teammates.
