  • Parking the bus or high pressing? Defensive tactical insights from the 2022 FIFA Men’s World Cup
    Gibson Moreira Praça, Pedro Henrique de Almeida Oliveira, Leandro Henrique Albuquerque Brandão, Cristóvão de Oliveira Abreu, André Gustavo Pereira de Andrade, et al.
    Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part P Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology, 2026
    This study aimed to analyze which defensive performance indicators differentiate winning and losing teams and to verify which of these variables better predict winning probabilities during the Men’s 2022 FIFA World Cup. Data from all 64 matches played during the competition were gathered from public sources. The variables comprised event-based and positional-based data. Data between winning and losing teams were compared using multivariate analysis of variance, and multiple linear regression was used to detect winning predictors. Results indicated that winning teams performed more forced turnovers ( p = 0.017) and spent less time in out-of-possession recovery ( p = 0.005) and transition ( p = 0.017). The regression analysis indicated that the forced turnovers (standardized beta = 0.446), the possession action per defensive action (standardized beta = 0.582), and the time spent in out-of-possession recovery actions (standardized beta = −0.279) significantly predict the goal difference achieved by the teams ( r = 0.499. Adjusted r2 = 0.225). However, the model’s power prediction was low, indicating that multiple defensive strategies can lead to winning outcomes. In conclusion, adopting an aggressive defensive style, aiming at forcing turnovers and seeking to regain the ball high on the pitch, was the most successful defensive strategy observed in the competition.
  • Novel tactical insights from Men’s 2022 FIFA World Cup: Which performance indicators explain the teams’ goal difference?
    Gibson Moreira Praça, Leandro Henrique Albuquerque Brandão, Cristóvão de Oliveira Abreu, Pedro Henrique de Almeida Oliveira, André Gustavo Pereira de Andrade
    Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part P Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology, 2025
    This study examined positional and event-based tactical variables during the Men’s 2022 FIFA World Cup to detect differences between winning and losing teams and to verify which variables would better predict the goal difference between the teams. All 64 matches played during the competition were initially considered. Due to the purpose of the current article, draw matches were excluded from the sample. The data were compared between the match statuses using a MANOVA. A stepwise multiple linear regression was used to detect which variables predict the outcome of the matches. Results indicated differences between winning and losing in Line Breaks per Pass ( p = 0.011), Defensive Line Break per Pass ( p = 0.004), Final Third Phase Height ( p = 0.023), and Width ( p < 0.001). The best predictors of the goal difference were the Final Third Phase Width (standardized beta = −0.389), the Completed Line Breaks (standardized beta = 0.716), and the movements to receive in the progression phase in between (standardized beta = −0.491). It is concluded that positioning the team closer to the central corridor in the last third of the pitch and successfully breaking the defensive lines increases winning probability during the competition.
  • Internal Focus of Attention did Not Change Muscle Activation and the Rate of Perceived Exertion in Bench Press Exercise in Successive Training Sessions
    Pedro Henrique Francisco Nascimento, Camila Nepomuceno Caldeira, Rodrigo Cesar Ribeiro Diniz, André Gustavo Pereira de Andrade, Mauro Heleno Chagas, et al.
    Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2025
    This study analyzed the effect of internal focus of attention (IF) on electromyographic activity (EMG) and the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) in successive training sessions. Thirteen volunteers performed 4 sessions on the bench press with 3 sets of 8 repetitions and 90-s rest at 50% of one repetition maximum. The first session consisted of performing the protocol without IF and the following sessions with internal focus to the pectoralis major (PM). For the EMG signal analysis of the PM and triceps brachii (TB), ANOVA two-way with repeated measures was performed. The activation ratio (AR) PM/TB was analyzed using a ANOVA one-way with repeated measures, and for RPE, the Friedman non-parametric test was performed. No differences were found in the EMG of both muscles between sessions ( p = .695), indicating no cumulative increase in EMG and also no differences in the AR throughout the sessions ( p = .937). No effects were observed ( p = .743) on RPE throughout the sessions. The results demonstrated that the instruction to direct the focus did not result in changes in EMG activity or RPE. The subjects’ previous experience with IF in their training routines and the way the instructions were given could justify the absence of differences between the tested conditions.
  • Integrating notational and positional analysis to investigate tactical behavior in offensive and defensive phases of football matches
    Gibson Moreira Praça, Pedro Emílio Drumond Moreira, André Gustavo Pereira de Andrade, Filipe Manuel Clemente, Warlen Borges de Oliveira, et al.
    Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part P Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology, 2025
    Most literature has neglected the possible influence of game phase – offensive and defensive – on players’ and teams’ behaviors measured by positional data. Also, the combined effect of contextual variables – match period, match venue, and match outcome – and game phases has not been investigated yet. Therefore, this study aimed to integrate notational and positional analysis to investigate individual and collective tactical behavior in different game phases (offensive and defensive) in football matches under different contextual conditions. The sample comprised 18 matches played by 24 U-20 elite Brazilian athletes during the 2021 national championship. The authors designed a notational system to classify the start and the end of the offensive phase (and consequently, the defensive phase of the opposing team). The positional data was gathered through global positioning system devices and manually integrated with the notational analysis. Contextual variables comprised match period (first vs second halves), match venue (home vs away matches), and match outcome (win vs draw versus lose matches). Results showed significant differences between game phases, with a more spread tactical positioning observed in the offensive phase. Furthermore, interactions between contextual variables and the game phase were observed, although the game phase presented the highest impact on the dependent variables. We conclude that a more spread tactical positioning characterizes offensive behavior and that the impact of the game phase was higher than contextual variables on tactical behavior, which emphasizes the need for future studies to split positional data into attacking and defensive ones. Also, integrating notational and positional analysis are a viable alternative to enrich the data interpretation of football matches concerning the influence of game phases on players’ and teams’ behaviors.
  • Comment on: influence of the time-task constraint on ocular metrics of semi-elite soccer
    Gibson Moreira Praça, André Gustavo Pereira de Andrade
    Science and Medicine in Football, 2025
    This letter offers a constructive review of the article 'Influence of the time-task constraint on ocular metrics of semi-elite soccer' by Luis-del Campo et al. (2023), focusing on methodological considerations and avenues for future research enhancement. The study investigates the impact of task constraints on eye-tracking metrics among semi-elite soccer players, aiming to gauge mental workload during training sessions. While the study presents valuable insights, there are opportunities for methodological refinement. Suggestions include emphasizing sample size determination, randomization of the experimental conditions, and employing robust statistical analyses to mitigate potential biases. Moreover, future studies could benefit from integrating external load measures alongside heart rate monitoring to comprehensively assess training task variations. Despite these considerations, the study underscores the promising application of eye-tracking techniques in evaluating mental workload during soccer training, paving the way for further exploration and refinement of methodologies to enhance player performance assessment and training optimization in the field.
  • The gold rush in para swimming: changes in the speed curve of a visually impaired world and paralympic champion–a case study
    Augusto C. Barbosa, Leonardo Tomasello Araújo, Leonardo Vecchi Leis, Thiago Fernando Lourenço, Renato Barroso, et al.
    Sports Biomechanics, 2025
    This case study examined the association between 50 m freestyle and speed curve parameters of a world-class Paralympic swimmer and analysed the changes in speed curves and their frequency components across her performance levels. From 2018 to 2021, a visually impaired female swimmer (26.59 s in 50 m freestyle, S12 class) underwent 22 tests to obtain instantaneous speed synchronised with video recording. She regularly performed 50 m freestyle in competitions and time trials. The fast Fourier transformation method converted the speed signal into frequency domains and determined the relative contribution of the harmonics with two maxima and minima (H2, arms actions) and six maxima and minima (H6, legs actions). The functional paired t-test compared the speed curves at the beginning (PRE) and end (POST) of the analysed period. The 50 m freestyle time correlated with average speed (r = -0.50, p = 0.02). The contribution of H6 increased in the first year and remained large, whereas the contribution of H2 was lower throughout the whole period. POST was faster than PRE in five moments that coincide with the downward leg kick moments. These changes allowed her to stay longer at the upper part of the curve and improve performance over time.
