- PublicationOpen AccessAnalysis of the Satisfaction Level and Game Preferences at Initial Categories in Volleyball and Beach Volleyball Players(Universidad de Extremadura, 2022-02-28) García de Alcaraz, Antonio; Hernández Hernández, Elena; Palao, José M.; Ortega Toro, Enrique; Actividad Física y DeporteMany strategies are used to introduce athletes in sport. The aim of this study was to analyse the satisfaction level and game preferences of volleyball and beach volleyball players at initial categories, regarding: (a) the execution and performance of the game actions, and (b) carrying out training tasks according to their structure and number of players. Methods: A total of 752 questionnaires were analyzed from the players who participated in Spanish tournaments of volleyball (n=492) and beach volleyball (n=260) in 2015. The variables were the satisfaction level in the execution of game actions (serve, reception, set, attack, block and dig) and training tasks, measured in a scale of 0-10 points. The age categories were: U14, U16, U19, and U21. The Mann-Whitney’s U test (p<.05) was used to determine the differences between categories. Results: A preference for attack actions in the first stages of both volleyball and beach volleyball, especially in the male category was found. Similarly, a greater satisfaction level was observed in the competition-like training tasks. Conclusions: This information allows developing teaching proposals for initial stages in volleyball and beach volleyball, attending to the preferences of the athletes according to their age category. ---------------------------------
- PublicationOpen AccessApplying the new teaching methodologies in youth football players: toward a healthier sport(Frontiers Media, 2019-02-13) García-Angulo, Antonio; García Angulo, Francisco Javier; Torres-Luque, Gema; Ortega Toro, Enrique; Actividad Física y DeporteAt early ages (6–12 years), the levels of physical activity developed in sports initiation and Physical Education often fall short of optimal levels. Ecological models of education seek, among other things, to make up for this deficit by modifying the structural elements of sport, bringing play closer to the child’s developmental characteristics. In this sense, Nonlinear Pedagogy is a model of active pedagogy that seeks the integral development of young players through a sport more in line with their abilities, and that for this is based on a system of constraints on the environment, the task and the player himself. However, there are no studies that analyze the effects of these methodologies on the parameters of physical activity at such an early age. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of a learning methodology based on Nonlinear Pedagogy on health-related levels of physical activity (heart rate) in young football players (U-11). A quasi-experimental study was developed in which three tasks were applied using structural modifications of the football elements related to Nonlinear Pedagogy (modification of the number of players related to situations of inferiority, equality and numerical superiority; dimensions of the field of play). The sample studied was composed of football players, U-11 n = 32), age: 10.35 0.54 years; years of experience: 2.14 0.768 years. The players carried out each task for 10 min. Physical activity levels were measured by controlling heart rate using heart rate monitors (Polar Team2). The results showed very high levels of vigorous and very vigorous physical activity in all the tasks designed. These data show that the use of these new teaching methodologies has an impact on levels of physical activity in accordance with the recommended parameters.
- PublicationOpen AccessDoes Youth Soccer Players’ Group Cooperation Improve when Pitch, Goal, and Team Size Are Reduced?(2021) García Angulo, Antonio; García Mas, Alexandre; Palao, José Manuel; Ortega Toro, Enrique; Giménez Egido, José María; Olmedilla Zafra, Aurelio; Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológicos; Actividad Física y DeporteThe aim of this study was to analyse the effects of the modification of the pitch size, goal size, and the number of players per team on the level of cooperation in youth soccer players (U-12). A quasi-experimental design was implemented to measure the effects of the changes in the number of players per team (8-a-side vs. 5-a-side), goal size (6 x 2 m vs. 3 x 2 m), and field size (58 x 38 m vs. 38 x 20 m) on the cooperation. Four soccer teams under-12 (n = 48 players) participated in three tournaments (standard rules; proposed rules; standard rules). The five variables of cooperation were measured using the “Sports Cooperation Questionnaire”: conditional cooperation, cooperation with the coach, disposition of unconditional cooperation, situational cooperation with teammates, and situational cooperation outside the field of play. Players presented the same level of cooperation in conditional cooperation, situational cooperation with teammates, and situational cooperation outside the field of play with both types of rules. The modification of rules involved a reduction of the cooperation with the coach and a disposition of unconditional cooperation. The causes of the reduction may be related to players’ adaptation to new tactical dispositions and game situations. Future studies are needed of player’s cooperation and different competition rules in youth sports.
- PublicationOpen AccessEfecto del modelo de enseñanza sobre la técnica individual de jugadores de fútbol sub-10(Murcia: Servicio de publicaciones de la Universidad de Murcia, 2020) Pérez Muñoz, Salvador; Chamorro Juanes, Pablo; Rodríguez Cayetano, Alberto; Sánchez Muñoz, Antonio; De Mena Ramos, José ManuelEl objetivo del estudio fue comparar el efecto del modelo de enseñanza en la mejora de la técnica individual en ambas piernas de jugadores de fútbol sub-10. Se analizaron a 12 jugadores que realizaron ocho sesiones con un modelo tradicional y ocho con un modelo moderno. Se midió: pase, control, conducción y golpeo de balón. El modelo tradicional mejora el pase y golpeo con la derecha y la conducción de balón con ambos pies, con diferencias significativas (p<.05) en el pase con derecha y la conducción de balón con ambas piernas. En el modelo innovador mejora el pase con pie dominante, la conducción lineal con ambos pies y el golpeo de balón a portería con ambos pies, con diferencias significativas en la conducción de balón con ambas piernas (p<.05). Por estos motivos, la mejora de la técnica individual de los jugadores necesita de la utilización modelos tradicionales e innovador.
