The game of Futsal. I am going to analyse the movements made by a player in one game of futsal, I will also be finding out which energy systems are used and how much they are needed. I will be collecting this information by watching and recording one player I can then see every move he makes in a game and record accurately. In Futsal the field is very small so you need speed to get to a player or the ball, balance so you don’t fall while passing / shooting at high speeds, acceleration to get into space or away from another player, Ball control so you can get around the opposition and intercept stray passes and accuracy to make it easier for your players to receive a pass or to score. Because of this the main energy system used is Anaerobic Endurance. Most of the information came from my experiences playing the game but it was also helped by filling out the two analyses sheets and watching one player over and over.
This information has lead me to believe that futsal requires anaerobic endurance. Because you are constantly changing direction and speed, this is proved in my data as the player makes 170 or so 10 metre sprints. During my assignment I found that to play futsal successfully you need a variety of skills although many of them are related to each other they are still equally important. Anaerobic endurance is also important along with a small amount of lactic acid.
