Creative and effective body in football is more chaosal: perspectives based on tactical periodization about the propensity for the creative act

Abstract

The Tactical Periodization (PT) methodology expresses, in general, that the Specific context, with a capital E, in which the player is involved, serves as an artificial uterus for creative and effective tactical actions. For these reasons, this essay aimed to carry out a critical reflection on the creativity and effectiveness of body expressions in soccer training and games according to the scientific paradigms emerging in the 20th century such as the paradigm of systems, chaos, fractals and dissipative structures. This critical essay was governed by two documents: the work of Paulo Cunha e Silva (2000) entitled «The unpredictability of the Review: Causality, Casuality and Chaosality», used to justify the considerations referred to by Vitor Frade (2010) in the document entitled «Last Song «on the Tactical Periodization (PT) methodology as a catalyst for this creative and effective body in football. Methods: a narrative review of these documents was carried out in order to link their statements about the body, creativity, effectiveness, training and soccer game. Development: in view of the exposure of the content covered by the aforementioned works, the importance of the specificity of the training defended by the PT methodology was pointed out, to nurture, in a given previous intentionality, creative bodily actions in chaos, ie, chaotic and deterministic conditions . Comments: the PT methodology is supported, based on several critical assertions to the classic scientific paradigms, as a counterpoint in terms of football training methodology to the closed body expression model as previously applied. In this sense, it is essential to consider the gesturality of the football player’s body, in its ecological context, as more conducive to creativity and, consequently, more effective.
