Análise do treinamento tático processual no futebol

Tactical knowledge is fundamental for good sports performance and its development depends on factors related to the teaching-learning and training process. Therefore, the objective of the study was to compare the individual tactical behavior of U-13 football players after 18 training sessions. Eighteen football players in the U-13 category of a football club of the series A of the Brazilian Championship 2019 participated in the sample. The evaluation of the players occurred through the Tactical Procedural Knowledge Test (TCTP: OE) applied to football. The absolute and relative frequency and chi-square test (χ²) were used to compare the players' tactical knowledge. Data analysis was performed using SPSS® software version 22 for Windows®, adopting a significance level of p<0.05. The results indicate that the players did not modify their tactical offensive and defensive actions in function of the 18 training sessions. This was probably due to the choice of activities performed in the training. Thus, with the activities carried out, it is concluded that 18 training sessions were not enough to modify the individual tactical behavior of the players of the U-13 category.
