Published: April 2016

This study presents a systematic review of psychological studies applied to futsal. A total of 23 studies were analyzed within five sections: a year overview and the name of journals, research designs, data collection, sample characteristics, and a focus category. This study found that the first psychological articles that were applied to futsal were published in 2008, and the number of publications gradually increased since then. The majority of examined studies were cross-sectional designs and conducted at the elite level in European and Asian countries. Most studies did not use mixed methods and did not specify the age of the subjects. Psychological research applied to futsal focused on athletes, non-athletes and several psychological factors. Critical and innovative reflections were made to highlight research gaps and present suggestions for further research.

Article Synopsis
  • This study assessed the impact of adding supramaximal intermittent shuttle-run training (ISRT) to regular soccer preseason training on aerobic performance and sprint speed in junior male soccer players.
  • The experimental group (EG) that performed ISRT alongside regular training showed significantly greater improvements in lactate minimum speed and peak speed compared to the control group (CG) that only followed the standard training regimen.
  • Both groups improved their flying 20-m sprint speed, but the control group experienced a small decrease in 10-m sprint speed, while the experimental group maintained their performance, indicating that ISRT can effectively enhance players' endurance and sprint capacity without hindering their acceleration.
