Abstract

The present study aimed to compare the rink hockey performance variables in the top national championships of Spain (OK Liga), Portugal (Primeira Divisao), and Italy (Serie A1). A sample of 1,665 matches corresponding to the OK Liga (654), Primeira Divisao (497), and Serie A1 (514) played between the 2018-2019 and 2020-2021 seasons was analyzed. Comparisons were made using an analysis of the variance (ANOVA) followed by Bonferroni's post hoc multiple comparison test. Additionally, the t-Student test was used to compare each variable according to match location. The results show that in Spain, teams score fewer goals per match and in Italy more goals per match. In Portugal, we observe more set-piece shots, more goals, a higher percentage of goals coming from set-pieces compared to total goals, more fouls, and cards shown. Moreover, the performance variables associated with victory were favourable to the local teams in all three championships. Championship comparison enables coaches to understand better specific and contextual performance variables. Our research could also help governing bodies and federations know what competitions are better associated with several key performance indicators and design proposals to improve each championship.
