Match analysis and heart rate of futsal players during competition

Abstract

Heart rates were monitored and time-motion analysis performed for 10 players (mean age 25.6 years, s = 2.5; body mass 73.8 kg, s = 5.7 kg; height 1.75 m, s = 0.06) during four competitive futsal matches. Mean heart rate during the match was 90% (s = 2) of maximum heart rate. Heart rate records were classified based on the percentage of time spent in three zones (>85%, 85-65%, and <65% maximum heart rate); players spent 83%, 16%, and 0.3% in these three zones, respectively. During the second period, there was a significant reduction (P < 0.01) in the percentage of time spent at an intensity above 85% of maximum heart rate (first vs. second period: 86% vs. 79%). Players' movements were classified as standing, walking, jogging, medium-intensity running, high-intensity running, and sprinting (maximal speed running). Time-motion analysis indicated that the mean distance covered per minute of play was 117.3 m (s = 11.6), of which 28.5% (s = 2.2) was covered while performing medium-intensity running, 13.7% (s = 2) during high-intensity running, and 8.9% (s=3.4) while sprinting. From the results, we conclude that futsal is a multiple-sprints sport in which there are more high-intensity phases than in soccer and other intermittent sports.

Estudo descritivo-comparativo de parâmetros de desempenho aeróbio de atletas profissionais de futebol e futsal. DOI: 10.5007/1980-0037.2011v13n3p170

“…Considerando-se somente a frequência cardíaca média observada em atletas profissionais durante jogos de futebol (85-93% da FC max ) 23 e futsal (90% da FC max ) 21,27 , poder-se-ia inferir que a intensidade média de exercício imposta pelas duas modalidades é semelhante. Entretanto, deve-se levar em conta que os atletas de futebol percorrem, aproximadamente, 10-12 km 23 durante dois tempos de 45 minutos de jogo, enquanto os atletas de futsal percorrem algo em torno de 4 km 27 , durante dois tempos de 20 minutos, com cronômetro parado nas interrupções do jogo (saídas de bola, faltas, etc.).…”

Quais ações técnico-táticas realizadas durante as partidas de futsal podem discriminar o resultado de vitória ou derrota?

“…Esta modalidade tem apresentado grande crescimento de popularidade, sendo jogada em ligas pro ssionais e amadoras, por homens e mulheres, ao redor do mundo [2][3] . Devido a esse grande aumento no número de participantes e países que adotaram a prática dessa modalidade, a partir do ano de 1989, a FIFA passou a organizar o Campeonato Mundial de Futsal, disputado por 16 seleções nacionais e realizado a cada quatro anos [1][2] .…”

“…Assim, paralelamente ao crescimento da popularidade do futsal, nos últimos anos tem-se observado também um incremento no número de publicações referentes à modalidade, notadamente no que diz respeito às demandas siológicas do esporte e as implicações do nível de aptidão física dos atletas no desempenho competitivo 1,[3][4][5] .…”

Effects of Exercise Duration and Number of Players in Heart Rate Responses and Technical Skills During Futsal Small-sided Games

“…It is played on a 40x20m indoor court by 2 teams, each with 5 players and with goals measuring 3x2m, during two 20-minute periods where the clock is stopped for some events. The tactical, technical and energetic dimensions of futsal showed evolutionary tendencies that have solidified an own identity through a more thorough specialization [1,2], diverging now from soccer. This idea has been supported time motion analysis research, particularly by identifying mean values of total distance covered and distance covered at different intensities more similar to handball and basketball than to soccer [2].…”
