Relating external load variables with individual tactical actions with referenc...
Ribeiro, João Nuno; Yousefian, Farzad; Monteiro, Diogo; Illa, Jordi; Couceiro, Micael; Sampaio, Jaime; Travassos, BrunoThe purpose of this study was to contextualise players’ high-intensity activities (HIA) with individual tactical actions during match play with reference to playing positions. Tracking data was obtained using local positioning system devices from 19 male elite futsal players (28.8 ± 2.4 years). The HIA measures included high-intensity acceleration (ACC; ≥3 m · s−2), deceleration (DEC; ≤−3 m · s−2), and high-spe...
How weekly monitoring variables influence players’ and teams’ match performance...
Ribeiro, João Nuno; Monteiro, Diogo; Sampaio, Jaime; Couceiro, Micael; Travassos, BrunoThis study aimed to investigate how weekly training load constrains the performance of players and teams in official futsal competitions. Data from a professional male team were collected during two seasons (46 weeks). The applied monitoring system analysed the training load (as measured by session perceived exertion, sRPE), the total recovery status (TQR), the well-being score (WBs) and the variability of neur...
Handball Offensive Analysis: Comparative Evolution of Linear Tendency Lines bet...
Vaz, Vasco; Ferrari, Willian; Sarmento, Hugo; Couceiro, Micael; Sousa, Tiago; Dias, Gonçalo Nuno Figueiredo(1) Background: This study aims to analyze the evolution of the finalist teams in five years of the EHF Champions League and compare winning teams with defeated teams, presenting their evolution along the competition from the quarterfinals to the final; (2) Methods: A total of 35 games were analyzed, corresponding to four games per team over five seasons. Tendency lines were created according to the 13 offensiv...
The re-organization of action in golf putting under different task constraints
Couceiro, Micael; Dias, Gonçalo; Araújo, Duarte; Davids, Keith; Gama, José; Mendes, Rui; M. L. Martins, Fernando; Vaz, VascoBackground: The behaviours of golfers could be interpreted as emergent, resulting from the cyclical relations of perception-action couplings established under the interacting constraints of competitive performance environments. Underpinned by an ecological dynamics approach, the aim of this study was to investigate how a simple adaptation of task constraints constrained the (re)organization of putting actions i...
Exploring the effects of interchange rotations on high-intensity activities of ...
Ribeiro, João Nuno; Gonçalves, Bruno; Illa, Jordi; Couceiro, Micael; Sampaio, Jaime; Travassos, BrunoThe literature lacks an understanding of the physical demands of team sports with unlimited substitutions (player interchange rotations). Because of this characteristic of the game, it is necessary to analyze the physical requirements through player rotation rather than analyzing global averages. The objective of this research is to investigate the relationship between high-intensity activities (HIA; sum of acc...
Golf-putting performance in skilled golfers at different distances to the hole
Dias, Gonçalo; Couceiro, Micael; Mendes, Pedro; Gomes, Ricardo; Mendes, Rui; Vaz, Vasco; M. L. Martins, Fernando; Gama, José; Castro, Maria AntónioGolf putting occurs under highly variable conditions. Therefore, adapting to different putting distances is a challenge that the golfer faces and understanding the variables underlying performance in this task is important. The main objective of this study was to analyse the golf-putting performance in skilled golfers at different distances to the hole. Fourteen highly skilled golfers, adult male and right-hand...

Using artificial intelligence for pattern recognition in a sports context
Rodrigues, Ana Cristina; Pereira, Alexandre Santos; Mendes, Rui; Araújo, André Gonçalves; Couceiro, Micael; Figueiredo, António J.Optimizing athlete’s performance is one of the most important and challenging aspects of coaching. Physiological and positional data, often acquired using wearable devices, have been useful to identify patterns, thus leading to a better understanding of the game and, consequently, providing the opportunity to improve the athletic performance. Even though there is a panoply of research in pattern recognition, th...
The usefulness of small-sided games on soccer training
Manuel Clemente, Filipe; Couceiro, Micael; M. L. Martins, Fernando; Mendes, RuiThe specificity of collective sports training has evolved to adapt according to ecology stimuli inherent to the sport. In this sense, the coaches have adopted exercises based on the game, designated by small-sided games. In football practice this type of exercises triggers very receptivity on the part of coaches. In this sense, this paper analyzes the relevance of this type of exercise and as may be appropriate...
