In sports context, the motivational climate has been widely studied since 2000, when the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sports Questionnaire-2 (PMCSQ-2) was published. Evaluating athletes’ perceptions of the motivational climate created by the coach, this questionnaire has been validated and adapted for different countries, including Brazil. However, important psychometric properties of the Brazilian version present problems, such as poor fit indices and the almost exclusively male samples, make it unfeasible for use in future research. Thus, this study aimed to achieve a new process of cross-cultural adaptation, and search for validity evidence of the PMCSQ-2 for the Brazilian sports context to correct distortions, expand the sources of evidence of validity and ecological validity, and make it suitable for application in future research. The sample consisted of 501 athletes (349 males, 152 females) from different sports. The findings of the current study support the multidimensional hierarchical characteristic of the instrument, its factorial structure, and internal consistency. We concluded that the 33-item PMCSQ-2BR, distributed in two high-order scales (ego-involving and task-involving) with three subscales each, can be used to assess athletes’ perceived motivational climate in the Brazilian sports context.

O objetivo desta revisão sistemática foi analisar as ferramentas e os indicadores de avaliação utilizados para analisar jogos e treinos no futebol feminino. Seguiu-se a metodologia PRISMA. Após a realização das etapas de seleção e exclusão de artigos pelos critérios estabelecidos, 33 estudos foram incluídos para revisão. Os achados indicam que as principais ferramentas utilizadas para análise dos indicadores de desempenho técnico-táticos foram os sistemas notacionais manuais, os softwares AMISCO PRO, SportsCode e InstatScout, enquanto os indicadores de desempenho físico mais encontrados foram variáveis cinemáticas e de avaliação de fadiga, utilizando, na sua maioria, sistemas de GPS. Não existe um consenso na literatura sobre quais as ferramentas mais adequadas para avaliação de indicadores específicos, bem como a ausência das evidências de validade e confiabilidade das ferramentas existentes. A variedade de ferramentas encontradas para análise de jogo no futebol feminino se difere do masculino. Resumen. El objetivo de esta revisión sistemática era analizar las herramientas de evaluación y los indicadores utilizados para analizar los partidos y los entrenamientos en el fútbol femenino. Se siguió la metodología PRISMA. Tras realizar las fases de selección y exclusión de artículos según los criterios establecidos, se incluyeron 33 estudios para su revisión. Los resultados indican que las principales herramientas utilizadas para el análisis de los indicadores de rendimiento técnico-táctico fueron los sistemas de anotación manual, AMISCO PRO, SportsCode y el software InstatScout, mientras que los indicadores de rendimiento físico más frecuentes fueron las variables cinemáticas y la evaluación de la fatiga, utilizando principalmente sistemas GPS. No hay consenso en la literatura sobre qué herramientas son más adecuadas para la evaluación de indicadores específicos, así como la ausencia de pruebas de validez y fiabilidad de las herramientas existentes. La variedad de herramientas encontradas para el análisis del juego en el fútbol femenino difiere de la de los hombres. Abstract. The objective of this systematic review was to analyze the evaluation tools and indicators used to analyze games and training in women’s soccer. The PRISMA methodology was followed. After performing the steps of selection and exclusion of articles by the established criteria, 33 studies were included for review. The findings indicate that the main tools used to analyze technical-tactical performance indicators were manual notational systems, AMISCO PRO, SportsCode and InstatScout software, while the physical performance indicators most commonly found were kinematic variables and fatigue assessment, mostly using GPS systems. There is no consensus in the literature about which tools are most appropriate for the evaluation of specific indicators, as well as a lack of evidence of validity and reliability of existing tools. The variety of tools found for game analysis in women’s soccer differs from men’s soccer.
