Abstract

This work aims to evidence the correlation between the level of tactical thinking of the starting level children's football players in improving technical and physical skills. Methodology: 26 eight- and nine-year-old children's football players participated with two groups: one group with numerical inequality and one with equality, both with 13 participants. The two groups were given a battery of physical and technical tests, as well as the test of tactical offensive knowledge in football (TCTOF). The groups were exposed to a 16-session training program. Results: Players at the very low level only showed changes significant negative in the correlation the flexibility and strength of the legs and pass and running of the ball in the group with numerical equality. Low-level players showed significant positive changes in correlations of flexibility and strength in legs, flexibility and heading, and heading and strength in legs. In contrast, regular-level participants (the highest in our research) produced significant positive correlations between shooting the ball with the non-dominant leg and flexibility and this same shooting the ball with the non-dominant leg with the aerobic resistance in the group with numerical equality. For its part, the group with numerical equality presented significant differences between strength and flexibility, speed and flexibility, pass the ball and flexibility, pass the ball and force in legs, pass the ball and speed, pass the ball and resistance, pass and heading the ball, shoot the ball with dominant leg and dribbling, shoot the ball with dominant leg and running with the ball, and heading the ball with shoot the ball non-dominant leg. Conclusion: there is a positive correlation between the level of tactical offensive thinking in football with the development of technical and physical skills, the higher this level, the greater significant changes in your skills.
