The Functional Variability of Goal-Directed Movements in Football

These findings provide preliminary evidence of nuanced movement regulation, as players engage with different affordances during the match, characterized by small to moderate effect sizes. Moderate associations with team functionality indicators suggest that movement variability may contribute to maintaining coordinated and effective team play.

Abstract

These findings provide preliminary evidence of nuanced movement regulation, as players engage with different affordances during the match, characterized by small to moderate effect sizes. Moderate associations with team functionality indicators suggest that movement variability may contribute to maintaining coordinated and effective team play.
