“…Our findings may provide important insights for coaches to improve singles players' stroking performances in the last stroke of the rallies. Moreover, no significant effects were found for the importance of rally on the winners and errors of both the men's and women's singles players, Gómez-Ruano et al (2020c) argued that the context-related variables can affect the variability of match performance, and the critical periods (e.g., game point) could be considered a match-context constraint that impact the players' scoring performance. However, this is not the case in the current study; the probabilities of achieving winners and errors did not correspondingly increase and decrease for either the men's or women's singles players during the key rally.…”

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of the technical and context-related variables of last strokes in rallies on the point outcomes of both men’s and women’s players in elite singles badminton matches. A total of 100 matches during the 2018 and 2019 seasons were analyzed, and the data of 4,080 men’s rallies and 4,339 women’s rallies were collected. The technical variables including strokes per rally, forehand strokes, overhead strokes, and defensive action, and the context-related variables including game status, result against serve, importance of rally, and importance of set, were modeled with Probit regression modeling as the predictor variables. The binary variables of “winner or not” and “error or not” were considered the response variables. The results showed that defensive actions had the greatest impacts on the winners and errors of both the men’s and women’s singles players, and the forehand and overhead strokes were negatively associated with the winners and errors of the women’s singles players and the winners of the men’s singles players. No significant effects were found for the strokes per rally on the winners and errors of the men’s singles players, while significant effects were found for the women’s singles players. The context-related variables appeared to have positive effects on the winners and negative effects on the errors of both sexes. These findings can provide important insights for coaches and players to evaluate their performances of last strokes in rallies and to improve training interventions and match tactics and strategies.

“…Our results find confirmation in research on 02 goalkeepers in 11-player teams. Szwarc et al [18] noted that goalkeepers' activity in matches concluded in a draw was significantly higher than in won or lost matches, and Taylor et al [19], Lago-Peñas & Dellal [20], Castellano et al [21] and Gómez et al [22] proved that players of teams with an unfavorable score strive to change the status of the result, usually by attacking more often, thus forcing more activity in defensive actions from players and goalkeepers of the team holding the favorable score.…”

“…Of the four types of goal-scoring actions (Table 2, items [21][22][23][24], in two (scoring a goal in contact or without contact with an opponent by hitting the ball with a leg in zone A2 and by hitting the ball dropped from the hand in zone A1), statistically significant differences were found in the activity of actions depending on the score. It follows from statistical analysis (Table 4) that goalkeepers performed these actions significantly more often in a game situation with a favorable result than during competition with a neutral or an unfavorable score…”

Background and Study Aim. The aim of the study was to expand knowledge of the efficiency of actions from top-level futsal teams. Goalkeepers’ activity, effectiveness and reliability were estimated with a view to implementing the objectives of the game in offence and defence and depending on the changing match status. Material and Methods. Data about the game were registered on a self-developed observation sheet. 23 goalkeepers participating in 31 matches of the World and the European Championships and the UEFA Futsal Cup played in the years 2012–2015 were observed. Results. It was found that actions to gain the playfield with the ball and to prevent a loss of a goal dominated in futsal goalkeepers’ both when drawing as well as winning and losing game and that game status does not determine the style of play of the goalkeeper. Only in nine of the 60 types of actions examined significant differences in activity were fund. Conclusions. The unequivocal claim that the current score during the competition determines the style of the futsal goalkeeper’s game (the frequency of taking actions in the game characteristic of his position), is unauthorized at this stage of research. The obtained significant differences in his activity in nine types of actions constitute only a small percentage (15%) of all his skills in the game. .

“…In football, the relative phase of ball possessions shifted from anti-phase, in the initial drawing moment of the game, to in-phase, in the winning/losing situation at the last term of the game. Winning teams also distinguished their passing and shot effectiveness from the drawing moment before a comeback to other periods [ 21 ].…”

Particularly, some studies have accounted for the time-related context of the opposition and evidenced its impact in the match dynamics and the scoring patterns coordination [21][22][23][24]. In handball and basketball, the game-scoring coordination of opposing teams seems to increase as the game unfolds from first to second half [23,24].…”

Two steps for scoring a point: Creating and converting opportunities in invasion team sports

2020

In invasion team sports, scoring efficiency depends on the ability to create scoring opportunities and to convert them into goals or points. Scoring performance varies across sports and comparisons among them are little. In this paper we compare creation and conversion of scoring opportunities in different team sports and genders. Box-score data from six sports [basketball, handball, water polo, field hockey, football, ice hockey] (328 teams, 5723 games, both genders) were standardized by “per ball possession”. We applied Bayesian methods to compute the posterior distributions of shots per possession (SHTpPOS), points per shot (PTSpSHT) and points per possession (PTSpPOS). We evaluated differences for these three variables among sports, between genders and the correlation between every pair of them. Inter-sports evaluation evidenced basketball, handball, ice hockey and water polo are sports with a high probability of creating shots (SHTpPOS—p(robability) > 0.65). Complementary, ice hockey, field hockey and football are sports with a low probability of converting shots (PTSpSHT—0.05 < p < 0.26). Despite the distinct results among sports for creating and converting opportunities, all sports in both genders, converged to a scoring efficiency (PTSpPOS) below 0.5. In the genders’ comparison, men are more efficient in creating opportunities than women, except in water polo. For scoring efficiency, differences between men and women are fewer. Results prevent generalization about differences in scoring efficiency between genders. Finally, creation and conversion have low correlation in sports with high shot creation probabilities (basketball and ice hockey). In these sports, scoring is not limited by the number of shots taken but rather by their accuracy. For sports with low shot creation probabilities (soccer and men field hockey), creation and conversion presented higher correlation. Evidences contribute to increase coaches’ understanding about scoring tactics’ challenges in team sports and design practices accordingly.
