Effect of the peripheral vision training of futsal goal zone - Abstract

Visual perception is important for the futsal player to practice the actions of the match with good skill. The peripheral vision is important for the attack, because the sportsman has more chances of goals. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of the peripheral vision training of futsal goal zone. Ten young futsal players, with an average of 10.4±2.31 years, trained futsal for 25 days. Experimental group (EG) practiced 25 sessions of the peripheral vision training, control group (CG) practiced 15 sessions of futsal traditional training and 10 sessions of the peripheral vision training. The research included three championships in pairs, each one recorded, and after analyzed by scout, observing the matches on television. Three way Anova (group x match x goal zone) wassignificant for zones F (4.54) = 19.44, p = 0.00.Tukey HSDdetermined significant (p=0.05) difference of the two goals zones than the other zones (three, five, six and eight). Independent T Test was significant (p=0.05) for two goal zones than other zones in the whole championship. EG and CG had similar results of the goal zones, more goals of the two goal zones. In conclusion, the study does not account for the explanation about similar goals zone of the EG and of the CG.
