- PublicationOpen AccessAnálisis observacional de los saques de esquina en el fútbol masculino profesional en función del resultado parcial(Universidad de Murcia : servicio de publicaciones, 2026) Maneiro, Rubén; Casal, Claudio A.; Losada, José Luís; Ardá, Antonio; Iván-Baragaño, Iyán; Sin departamento asociadoThe aim of the present study was to describe and analyze the behavior of corner kicks in professional men’s football according to match time. A total of 441 corner kicks from 51 matches were analyzed using an observational methodology, applying a nomothetic, punctual, and multidimensional design. Descriptive analyses, bivariate analyses, and a multivariate analysis using a CHAID decision tree were conducted. The results of the bivariate analysis showed significant associations between match time and the number of attacking players (χ²= 52.31; p< .001; ES= 0.217), the players involved in the action (χ²= 8.43; p= .03; ES= 0.123), and the partial match score (χ²= 56.43; p< .001; ES= 0.225). At the multivariate level, the decision tree made it possible to identify contextual patterns in the execution of corner kicks according to match time and score; however, the model showed limited discriminative capacity, and therefore its results should be interpreted from an exploratory and descriptive perspective.
- PublicationOpen AccessUn enfoque plural del análisis secuencial desde perspectivas complementarias: estudio de caso de la esgrima desde un diseño de métodos mixtos(Universidad de Murcia : servicio de publicaciones, 2026) Anguera, Maria Teresa; Tarragó, Rafael; Iglesias, Xavier; Lapresa, Daniel; Sin departamento asociadoThe aim of this study is to highlight different perspectives of sequentiality, each involving different analytical techniques, and from a mixed methods perspective. Mixed methods studies have been defined by several authors as studies aiming to integrate qualitative and quantitative elements. On the one hand, from a “classic” approach and using a set of simulated data, we examine the merits of calculating the distance between sequences as a measure of their similarity or dissimilarity. On the other hand, we explore three approaches to sequence analysis—lag sequential analysis, polar coordinate analysis, and T-pattern detection—with the aim of analyzing the degree to which their results converge. Following a discussion of these techniques, we present an empirical case study from the field of sport sciences. In this study, we analyze a fencing competition in the final stages of a World Fencing Championship as a particular case of systematic observation. Considering the strong methodological component of this study, we focus on the first step of diachrony—intrasessional analysis—although our goal is to extend our analyses to include intersessional diachrony. Using a specific observational instrument, we created a dataset reflecting the sequences of events that, following the necessary data quality controls, was analyzed using lag sequential analysis, polar coordinate analysis, and T-pattern detection. The results were then combined and analyzed for similarities and dissimilarities. Finally, drawing from the results of this case study, we propose a procedure for harnessing the potential and guarantees offered by sequence analysis to bring together individual cases with similar structures and sequences to build a robust multiple-case study
- PublicationOpen Accessnálisis de Coordenadas Polares en Metodología Observacional: Corrección del Umbral Crítico e Impacto en el Error Tipo I(Universidad de Murcia : servicio de publicaciones, 2026) Rodríguez Medina, Jairo; Arias, Benito; Hernández-Mendo, Antonio; Sin departamento asociadohe Polar Coordinate technique (Sackett, 1980) is a fundamental tool for data reduction in observational methodology. However, this study demonstrates that the original proposal contains a critical statistical error in its inference: it calculates the Radius vector (R) by combining two Z-statistics but tests the hypothesis incorrectly using the critical value of the Normal distribution (1.96). The objectives of this study are: (1) to demonstrate that the use of the Normal distribution threshold for the Radius hypothesis test is incorrect; (2) to theoretically substantiate the Rayleigh distribution as the appropriate one for the interpretation of the Radius; and (3) to confirm that t
- PublicationOpen AccessAnálisis observacional de las acciones con balón de los delanteros centro en la UEFA euro 2020(Universidad de Murcia : servicio de publicaciones, 2026) Fernández-Sante, Daniel; Iván-Baragaño, Iyán; Maneiro, Rubén; Ardá, Antonio; Sin departamento asociadoThe objectives of this study were to analyze the offensive ball actions performed by center forwards in UEFA EURO 2020, to understand the relationship among various analyzed technical–tactical criteria and categories -including spatial, interactional, and intentional criteria-and the result of the action, and to establish a predictive model of the action results. To do so, 599 UEFA EURO offensive forwards actions were analyzed using observational methodology by means of an ad hoc observation instrument composed of 4 dimensions, 14 criteria and 129 categories, with an inter-observer reliability of κ = 0.842. Three types of analysis were carried out: a descriptive analysis by counting absolute and relative frequencies, a bivariate analysis using contingency tables between the criteria included in the observation instrument and the action result, and finally a predictive model based on binary logistic regression. The results obtained showed that the criteria modifying the result of the forwards' actions were: Area where the ball comes from (χ²= 140.3; p< .001; ES=.342), Area where the action takes place(χ²= 148.7; p< .001; ES=.352), Initial interaction context(χ²= 57.7; p< .001; ES=.219), Previous action(χ²= 78.2; p< .001; ES=.256), First-contact surface(χ²= 20.5; p= .002; ES=.131), Field area where the ball goes(χ²= 498;p< .001; ES=.645), Tactical intention(χ²= 73.9; p< .001; ES=.351), Action performed(χ²= 557.9; p< .001; ES=.682), and Final interaction context(χ²= 348.2; p< .001; ES=.539). From the multivariate approach, the logistic regression model has shown a predictive capacity of 80% when it came to predicting the ability of center forwards to maintain ball possession. The significant predictor variables were the Initial interaction context, the Tactical intention and theAction performed. These results can be useful when preparing and training for the specific position of the center forward as well as increasing their performanc
- PublicationOpen AccessEvaluación de la coherencia estratégico-táctica entre la preparación y el rendimiento de un equipo femenino de baloncesto(Universidad de Murcia : servicio de publicaciones, 2026) Monteiro, Alan; Rangel, Wellington; Fellingham, Gilbert; Heiner, Matthew; Lamas, Leonardo; Sin departamento asociadoIntegrative assessment of a basketball team combining the preparation phase and match performance is key for preventing coaches from misleading interpretations about outcomes. The goal of the study was to evaluate the coherence between team preparation and match performance in a women basketball team supported by data and considering the emphasis and efficiency on tactical contents. Coherence was evaluated based on the emphasis given to pre-defined basketball contents, and respective efficiency, during practices and match. Data were gathered a women’s college team (15 players; 20.0 ± 2.5 years old), in preparation for the national tournament. Team strategy was assessed from the season’s playbook. Practice data was gathered from the full pre-season period. Competitive performance was analyzed from a match. Bayesian methods were used to compute the posterior distributions of the parameters for time of training tasks. Set offense was emphasized more than transition during both practice and match, although their match efficiencies were similar. Team plays were prioritized over group tactics throughout practices (posterior mean difference: 42.3 min/week, SD: 10.1, 90% CI [25.8–58.9]) and in match performance, demonstrating higher efficiency. Our approach successfully traced preparation–performance coherence in a basketball team. Practices reflected a game-based approach that emphasized offense–defense integration and set offense supported by team plays. Coherence was demonstrated by the higher proportion of set offenses relative to transitions, both during practices and match. Similarly, a greater proportion and efficiency of team plays compared with individual or group actions. The approach should provide objective coaching support
