    Objective: this study analyzed the influence of the specificity of sports practice on Brazilian children's motor coordination levels. Methodology: the sample consisted of 80 male children with an average age of 10.4 (standard deviation = 1.3 years), engaged in different sports modalities (futsal, handball, and capoeira) and school physical education, and children not participating in extracurricular systematic sports training. Motor coordination level was assessed using the KTK (general motor coordination) and TECOBOL (motor coordination with a ball) tests. Results: the results revealed that, for general motor coordination, children practicing capoeira (p = 0.016) and futsal (p = 0.004) showed a higher overall score than the physical education group. The futsal group also scored higher overall than the handball group (p = 0.025). In motor coordination with a ball, the handball group outperformed the physical education (p < 0.001), capoeira (p = 0.001), and futsal (p = 0.004) groups in the dribbling test. Conclusions: the findings suggest that the specificity of sports practice influences motor coordination, and engaging in systematic sports improves children’s motor coordination.

    The present study aimed to analyze how different schedules combining error estimation and relative frequency of extrinsic feedback affects motor learning. Fifty-two undergraduate students (30 males, 22 females) aged 18 to 35 years old (M = 21.15, SD = 2.97), all novices in the task, practiced a force-production task with different combinations between error estimation and relative frequency of knowledge of results. Four experimental conditions were compared: no error estimation with feedback after every trial; no error estimation with feedback every two trials; error estimation following by feedback after every trial-and-error estimation following feedback every two trials. The absolute force error analysis revealed a significant main effect for both feedback frequency [F(1, 76) = 4.209, p = 0.044, ηp2 = 0.52] and error estimation [F(1, 76) = 7.483, p = 0.008, ηp2 = 0.77]. The constant force error analysis did not reveal a significant main effect for Error Estimation [F(1, 76) = 2.323, p = 0.132, ηp2 = 0.37], but did for Feedback Frequency [F(1, 76) = 8.481, p = 0.005, ηp2 = 0.83]. Results showed superior learning of groups that combined error estimation following receiving feedback, regardless of feedback frequency. The association between error estimation and relative frequency of extrinsic feedback (high or moderate) seems to favor the development of error-detection mechanism, thus avoiding the effects of extrinsic feedback dependence, and consequently enhancing learning.

    PurposeThe purpose of this study was to analyse the goals in soccer Italian League Serie A (2018–2019) in relation to (a) the number of total attempts; (b) the time reached; (c) the area from which the final action occurred. Also, the effect of achieving the first goal in the match outcome was studied.MethodsA total of 380 matches were studied, with 1019 goals scored. All matches were analysed with the SportScout software. Chi-square test was used to find differences between the display frequencies of each variable.ResultsMore goals were scored in the second half of the match (χ<sup>2</sup> = 25.438, <i>p</i> < 0.05) and in the last 15 minutes. Most goal attempts were made through the penalty box and outside of it (χ<sup>2</sup> = 2365.002, <i>p</i> < 0.05), though the highest success rates were shown in the attempts from the goal box. Overall, 30% of the total number of goals were scored from set plays (χ<sup>2</sup> = 171.493, <i>p</i> < 0.05), most of them after a corner shot (χ<sup>2</sup> = 18.488, <i>p</i> < 0.05). Furthermore, it appeared that the first goal had a strong impact on the final outcome since in 67.34% of the cases, the team that scored first won the match.ConclusionsMore goals were scored in the second half, especially in the last 15 minutes. Coaches should prepare their players to be fit to cope with the whole match. They will also need to improve their defensive and offensive tactics in set plays.

    Este experimento investigou os efeitos da mudança do foco de atenção durante o processo de aprendizagem de uma habilidade motora. Quatro grupos experimentais (foco interno, foco externo, foco interno-externo e foco externo-interno) e um grupo controle praticaram uma tarefa de arremesso de dardo. Durante a fase de aquisição, dois grupos experimentais tiveram uma forma de focalizar a atenção (foco interno ou externo) e os outros dois grupos tiveram o foco de atenção mudado na metade da prática (foco interno-externo ou externo-interno). Os resultados do teste de retenção mostraram que o foco interno-externo resultou em um desempenho mais consistente. Esses resultados sugerem a existência de relação entre os efeitos do foco de atenção e o nível de aprendizagem.
