We adapted an established paradigm (Bach & Tipper, 2007; Tipper & Bach, 2010) to test whether people derive motoric predictions about an actor’s forthcoming actions from both prior knowledge about them, and the context in which they are seen. In two experiments, participants identified famous tennis and soccer players with either hand or foot responses, while these athletes were seen either carrying out or not carrying out their typical actions, in contexts in which these actions are typically seen (soccer field, tennis court) or outside these contexts (beach, awards ceremony). Identifying not-acting athletes revealed the expected negative compatibility effects, such that viewing a tennis player led to faster responses with a foot than a hand, and vice versa for a soccer player. In line with the idea that these negative compatibility effects reflect the absence of a predicted action, these effects were eliminated (or turned into positive compatibility effects), when the athletes were seen carrying out their expected actions. Strikingly, however, these motoric biases were independent of the context in which the athletes were seen, and were, if anything, more robust in the out-of-context trials, even if the context was made salient (Experiment 2). These results confirm that people hold motoric knowledge about the actions that others typically carry out and that these actions are part of their perceptual representations, which are accessed when they are re-encountered, possibly in order to resolve uncertainty in person perception.

Using an established paradigm, we tested whether people derive motoric predictions about an actor’s forthcoming actions from prior knowledge about them and the context in which they are seen. In two experiments, participants identified famous tennis and soccer players using either hand or foot responses. Athletes were shown either carrying out or not carrying out their associated actions (swinging, kicking), either in the context where these actions are typically seen (tennis court, soccer Pitch) or outside these contexts (beach, awards ceremony). Replicating prior work, identifying non-acting athletes revealed the negative compatibility effects: viewing tennis players led to faster responses with a foot than a hand, and vice versa for viewing soccer players. Consistent with the idea that negative compatibility effects result from the absence of a predicted action, these effects were eliminated (or reversed) when the athletes were seen carrying out actions typically associated with them. Strikingly, however, these motoric biases were not limited to In-Context trials but were, if anything, more robust in the Out-of-Context trials. This pattern held even when attention was drawn specifically to the context (Experiment 2). These results confirm that people hold motoric knowledge about the actions that others typically carry out and that these actions are part of perceptual representations that are accessed when those others are re-encountered, possibly in order to resolve uncertainty in person perception.

In the present article, we investigate the effects of specific nonverbal behaviors signaling dominance and submissiveness on impression formation and outcome expectation in the soccer penalty kick situation. In Experiment 1, results indicated that penalty takers with dominant body language are perceived more positively by soccer goalkeepers and players and are expected to perform better than players with a submissive body language. This effect was similar for both video and point-light displays. Moreover, in contrast to previous studies, we found no effect of clothing (red vs. white) in the video condition. In Experiment 2, we used the implicit association test to demonstrate that dominant body language is implicitly associated with a positive soccer player schema whereas submissive body language is implicitly associated with a negative soccer player schema. The implications of our findings are discussed with reference to future implications for theory and research in the study of person perception in sport.

Introduction: The objectives of the study were to evaluate the prevalence of orofacial injuries in soccer players of a Brazilian club, considering the category, the position in the field, and the most affected anatomic site, through medical records. Methods: A total of 126 charts of players from the base categories (sub-15, sub-17, and sub-20) and male and female professional categories from 2016 to 2018 were evaluated. It was considered inclusion criteria to be a soccer player hired by a club in the indicated period. The exclusion criteria of the study correspond to the medical records registered after the chronological date stipulated or that did not have the correct registry of the occurred trauma. Results: The data analyzed presented a moderate value in relation to the orofacial traumas prevalence, and 64.3% of the athletes of the club have some record type of trauma in the face. We observed that soft-tissue lacerations of the lips and dental fractures present the highest frequencies (73% and 27%, respectively). The positions of defender, striker, and midfield are the most susceptible to injuries (31%, 24%, and 23%, respectively). Conclusion: Dental and orofacial trauma are a problem commonly encountered in sports, being present also in collective sports, such as football. It was observed a moderate prevalence of injuries on the face, especially among the athletes who are ahead of the attack line, with lip lacerations and dental fractures being the most common events.

The aim of this present study was to compare the reactive strength index (RSI) characteristics and trial to trial reliability of U17, U19 and Senior female international soccer players. Fifty – seven elite female soccer player participated in the study, (age:  18.1 + 3.1 years; height: 167.5 + 6.3 cm; weight: 61.84 + 7.7 kg). Participants performed 3 maximal repetitions of the 10/5 repeated jump test (10/5RJT) following a specific warm-up and familiarisation protocol. Senior players possessed higher levels of RSI with large effect size present when compared with the U17 (P= 0.043, ES = .97) and U19 (ES = 0.85) age groups. Trivial differences (ES = 0.17) in RSI existed between the U17 and U19 age categories. Trial-to-trial analyses demonstrated 10/5 RJT RSI to possess adequate levels of reliability with a range of mean coefficients of variance (CV) of 3.1 – 7.3 %   and intraclass correlation (ICC) between 0.95 – 0.98 present across all three age groups. However, large variations in the between – athlete CV for RSI were revealed ranging from 1 – 27 %, 0.4 – 10.3%, and 1 – 7 % for U17, U19 and senior age groups respectively. These results suggest that age group can distinguish reactive strength capabilities. In addition, female international footballers with higher levels of RSI appear to produce more reliable measures of RSI via the 10/5 RJT.

Estudio De Caso

  El fútbol es uno de los deportes más practicados del mundo, exigiendo a entrenadores, técnicos de clubes y asociaciones especializadas en el deporte disponer de herramientas para identificar potenciales jugadores que demuestren un alto nivel profesional. Es por ello que el objetivo fue implementar una metodología de evaluación para el análisis de un modelo competencial del jugador de fútbol (MCJF) en dos equipos de la categoría cadete del Sevilla FC. Se analizó la percepción competencial de 4 dimensiones (psicológicas, tácticas, técnicas y físicas), en una escala de seis niveles. Se realizó un análisis bidireccional, donde se compara la percepción del jugador sobre sí mismo y la percepción del entrenador sobre el jugador, y si ésta depende del puesto ocupado en el campo. Los resultados sugirieron que la valoración sobre la percepción de las competencias para detectar el talento de entrenadores y jugadores son similares para todas las dimensiones, destacando la táctica, técnica y psicosocial. La percepción que tiene un jugador sobre la valoración de sus competencias depende del puesto que ocupa en el terreno de juego. En cuanto a la percepción del entrenador, las dimensiones táctica y técnica mostraron dependencia de la variable analizada. Este estudio muestra la necesidad de disponer de herramientas no sólo para los entrenadores en la detección del talento del deportista, sino también para que los propios jugadores conozcan las expectativas que se espera de ellos para desarrollar un juego de alto nivel profesional.  Abstract. Soccer is one of the most practiced sports in the world, requiring coaches, club technicians and specialized sports associations to have the tools to identify potential players who demonstrate a high professional level. That is why the objective was to implement an evaluation methodology for the analysis of a soccer player competency model (MCJF) in two teams in the Sevilla FC “cadete” (U15-16) category. The competence perception of 4 dimensions (psychological, tactical, technical and physical) was analyzed, on a scale of six levels. A bidirectional analysis was carried out, where the player's perception of himself and the coach's perception of the player are compared, and if this depends on the position held on the field. The results suggested that the assessment of the perception of skills to highlight the talent of coaches and players are similar in all areas, highlighting the tactical, technical and psychosocial dimensions. The perception that a player has about the assessment of his skills depends on the position he occupies on the field of play (ANOVA p <0.05). Regarding the perception of the coach, the tactical and technical dimensions showed dependence on the variables studied (ANOVA p <0.05). This study shows the need for tools not only for coaches to detect talent, but also for the players themselves to know what’s expected of them to develop at a professional level.

La mujer en el fútbol en las últimas décadas ha tenido grandes avances por su práctica deportiva y apoyo familiar, lo que le ha permitido ganar espacio en el fútbol. La investigación asumió el paradigma cualitativo, con diseño etnográfico mediante 31 entrevistas y dos grupos focales, se ha analizado las influencias socioculturales que enfrenta la mujer futbolista en la liga amateur de Puno-Perú. Algunos resultados de esta investigación señalan que existen influencias socioculturales que enfrenta la mujer futbolista y está asociada con las barreras sociales de desigualdad social y provienen de condiciones económicas media y baja, refieren no recibir apoyo por parte de los directivos y medios de comunicación, además reflejan haber recibido actitudes machistas y estigmas por su género y jugar al fútbol, siendo catalogadas como marimachos y que todos estos aspectos no les limita su práctica del fútbol. Se concluye que en la autoidentificación la mujer puneña muestra su propia personalidad, tiene confianza y maneja su propia vida y se resalta el papel de los padres de familia en la iniciación, práctica y permanencia del fútbol femenino.  Abstract. Women in soccer in recent decades have made great strides due to their sports practice and family support, which has allowed them to gain space in soccer. The research assumed the qualitative paradigm, with an ethnographic design through 31 interviews and two focus groups, the sociocultural influences faced by the female soccer player in the amateur league of Puno-Peru have been analyzed. Some results of this research indicate that there are sociocultural influences faced by the female soccer player and is associated with social barriers of social inequality and come from medium and low economic conditions, they refer not receiving support from managers and the media, they also reflect having received macho attitudes and stigmas due to their gender and playing soccer, being classified as tomboys and that all these aspects do not limit their practice of soccer. It is concluded that in self-identification the woman from Puno shows her own personality, has confidence and manages her own life and the role of parents in the initiation, practice and permanence of women's football is highlighted.

A rare case of closed complete rupture of the flexor hallucis longus tendon at its groove in the posterior process of the talus is reported in a soccer player who developed pseudarthrosis of the posterolateral tubercle of the talus after a Shepherd's fracture. Partial rupture or tenosynovitis of the flexor hallucis longus tendon at this level is well known in classical ballet dancers and soccer players. Three cases of complete rupture of the flexor hallucis longus tendon near the metatarsophalangeal joint and three under the sustentaculum tali have been reported, but there have been no reports at the groove of the talus. Repair was accomplished by tendon graft, and active flexion of the interphalangeal joint is now possible.

The professional soccer is always changing and is constantly searching tools and data to help the decision-making,providing tactics and techniques to the team. In Brazil, this sport goes to same way and the investments areconsiderable. The One Sports is a company that capture GPS data from professional soccer players of someBrazilian teams. This set of data has a lot of features and the One Sports asked if was possible to predict the idealposition of a player. Then, was firmed a cooperation between a academic study and a commercial company. Thiswork find to understand a propose methods and techniques to predict the ideal position of the soccer player, usingmachine learning algorithms. The database has more of one million of tuples. It was submitted to preprocessingstep, what is fundamental, because generated new features, removed incomplete and noisy data, generated anew balanced dataset and delete outliers, preparing the data to execution of the algorithms k-NN, decision trees,logistic regression, SVM and neural networks. With the purpose to understand the performance and accuracy,some scenarios were tested. There was poor results when executed multiclass problems. The best results comefrom binary problems. The models k-NN and SVM, specifically to this study, had the best accuracy. It is importantto note that SVM spent more than six hours to finish your execution, and k-NN used less than one and halfminute to end.
