  Interaction, performance and morphological and functional profile of the key-player in the soccer game - children's stage (under-13) Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the morphological and functional interaction, performance and the profile of young football players. Materials and methods: We analysed 15 young male football players (11,43 ± 0,64 years), age group under 13. Moreover, we performed a morphological evaluation of the players and evaluated their anthropometric, maturational and functional performance data. Through the VideObserver® match analysis software, the level of interaction and key-player performance was measured over 6 games. Results: The results indicate the existence of a great variability in the morphological and functional profile of the key-player. Taking into account the performance and interactions established between players, the results showed that the key player was predominant in the dynamics of the team, especially in the context of their organization. Conclusion: The data in the present study do not clearly confirm that taller and heavier soccer players tend to get better performance, advantage or a better level of interaction in the game against their peers. Finally, it is concluded that the key-player is essential for the orchestration of interactions established with his teammates.

  Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a interação, desempenho e perfil morfológico e funcional do key-player no jogo de Futebol. Materiais e Métodos: Relativamente à avaliação do perfil morfológico e funcional dos jogadores, a amostra abrangeu uma equipa de Futebol 7, escalão Sub-13, composta por 15 jovens futebolistas (11,43 ± 0,64 anos de idade), masculinos, integrados no Campeonato Distrital da Associação de Futebol de Coimbra, referente à temporada 2016/2017. Por seu lado, a análise da interação dos jogadores e da equipa contemplou seis jogos, três realizados em “casa” e três realizados “fora”, alternadamente, com um intervalo de oito dias entre os mesmos. O software VideObserver® permitiu mensurar o nível de interação e desempenho do key-player no decorrer dos jogos. Resultados: Os resultados indicaram a existência de uma grande variabilidade no perfil morfológico e funcional do key-player. Tendo em conta o desempenho e as interações estabelecidas entre jogadores, verificou-se ainda que o key-player foi preponderante na dinâmica da equipa, principalmente no contexto da organização ofensiva. Conclusão: Os dados do presente estudo não confirmam, de forma significativa, que jovens futebolistas mais altos e mais pesados tendam a obter melhor desempenho, vantagem ou melhor nível de interação face aos seus pares. No entanto, conclui-se que o key-player foi essencial na orquestração das interações estabelecidas com os seus colegas de equipa durante os jogos analisados. ABSTRACT Interaction, performance and morphological and functional profile of the key-player in the soccer game - children's stage (under-13)Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the morphological and functional interaction, performance and the profile of young football players.
