Resumo(s)
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate how football performers coordinate their
behaviours in different levels of social organisation. We began with a position paper
proposing the re-conceptualisation of sport teams as functional integrated
superorganisms to frame a deeper understanding of the interpersonal coordination
processes emerging between team players. Time-motion analysis procedures and
innovative tools were developed and presented in order to capture the
superorganismic properties of sports teams and the interpersonal coordination
tendencies developed by players. These tendencies were captured and analysed in
representative 1vs1 and 3vs3 sub-phases, as well as in the 11-a-side game format. Data
showed higher levels of variability at the individual level compared to the team level.
This finding suggested that micro-variability may contribute to stabilise the
behavioural dynamics at the collective level. Moreover, the specificities of the
interpersonal coordination tendencies displayed within attacking-defending dyads
demonstrated to have influenced the performance outcome. Attacking players tend to
succeed when they were more synchronised in space and time with the defenders, and
their interaction were more unpredictable/irregular. Besides, the time-evolving
dynamics of the collective behaviours (i.e., at 11-a-side level) during competitive
football performance indicated a tendency for an increase in the predictability (i.e.,
more regularity). These data were interpreted as evidencing co-adaptation processes
between opponent players, which suggest that team players may shift from prevalent
explorative and irregular behaviours to more predictable behaviours emerging due
changes in their functional movement possibilities. However, some game events such
as goals scored, halftime and stoppages in play seemed to break this continuum and
acted as relevant performance constraints.
