Content validation of the declarative tactical knowledge test for futsal

Abstract

The aim is to demonstrate the evidence of content validation for 125 offensive scenes extracted from official men’s futsal matches to compose the declarative tactical knowledge test forfutsal (TCTD-FS). Five coaches with at least 10 years of experience evaluated the scenes interms of quality and relevance, the best tactical decision, and relevant cues. The ContentValidity Coefficient (CVC), the agreement between observers (AO), the content analysis,and the ecological validity were used. The results indicated 21 scenes with mean values ofCVC > 0.90 and AO = 1.0. It is concluded that the selected scenes present content validity andmay compose the preliminary version of the TCTD-FS
