Efeitos do feedback extrínseco no desempenho tático de jogadores de futebol em jogos reduzidos

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of verbal feedback and combined verbal plus video feedback on the tactical performance of soccer players in small-sided games. Thirty-six male athletes aged 14 to 18 years (M = 15.82 ± 0.97), competing in the U-15 to U-18 categories of a club from the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, participated in the study. An experimental design with pre-test, intervention, and post-test phases was adopted. The pre-test was conducted at an initial time point, whereas the intervention and post-test were carried out sequentially at a later stage. Participants were assigned to either a Verbal Feedback Group (VFG) or a Verbal plus Video Feedback Group (VVFG). Feedback was provided at two moments during each game performed in the intervention phase. Tactical performance was assessed using the System of Tactical Assessment in Soccer (FUT-SAT), and data were analyzed using mixed-design analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures, considering feedback type and time as factors (p < .05). The results demonstrated superior performance in the Overall, Offensive, and Defensive Tactical Performance Indices for the VVFG. It can be concluded that verbal feedback combined with video enhances tactical performance in small-sided soccer games.
