Technical-Tactical Performance Indicators During the Phases of Play in 3x3 Basketball / Indicadores de Rendimiento Técnico-Táctico Durante las Fases de Juego en Baloncesto 3x3

The current study aims to analyse technical-tactical performance indicators during elite 3x3 basketball games. To do so, the start, development and end of 315 attacking phases were examined using an observational tool during four games of the 3x3 Men's World Cup 2017. The results showed that efficacy from the 6.75 m line and the fast breaks made after defensive rebound were the performance indicators that best discriminated winning and losing teams. During set plays, the best percentages of efficacy were achieved with group-tactical situations involving the three players on court, and mainly with the use of off-ball screens. Coaches when preparing competitions and training drills can use these findings to increase team and player’s performance.(AU)

Goals scored and received in 5vs4 GK game strategy are constrained by critical moment and situational variables in elite futsal.

The aim of this study was to identify the importance and meaning of goals using the goalkeeper as an outfield player in elite futsal according to critical and situational variables. The sample consisted of 11,446 actions corresponding to 1,325 matches from the 1st division Spanish Futsal League during the seasons from 2010 to 2015. Multinomial logistic regression and classification tree multivariate models were used to identify the best predictor variables related to the likelihood of scoring goals, receiving goals, or no goals. Results from Multinomial logistic regression emphasised goals scored in balanced matches and playing with the goalkeeper as an outfield player before the last eight minutes. When the teams were drawing or losing, finished with goals received or without goals. The classification tree results identified a greater likelihood of scoring goals when the teams were winning, in balanced matches, and within the last eight minutes. Conversely, a greater likelihood of suffering goals was observed using the goalkeeper as an outfield player when the teams were losing, in unbalanced matches and in the last eight minutes. The identified trends will allow futsal coaches to recognise the most suitable situations for achieving efficacy when using the goalkeeper as an outfield player strategy.
