Abstract

Abstract. This study aimed at comparing tactical behavior and performance of soccer players from different playing positions throughout a season. The sample was composed of defenders (n=six), midfielders (n=15) and forwards (n=nine) (mean age 14.1, standard deviation=0.6). The players were evaluated using the FUT-SAT field test, which allows the evaluation of offensive and defensive incidence of tactical principles, as well as the percentage of positive tactical actions. Data were compared by a two-way ANOVA considering the factor “playing position” (defender, midfielder, and forward) throughout the season. Forwards carried out more actions on the offensive principle of space and width than defenders and midfielders throughout the season (p = .04). In addition, an improvement in tactical performance was verified (p = .001), as well as some variations regarding the incidence of offensive unity and defensive coverage actions throughout the season in all positions (p = .001).
