Title: Galeno's Passing Data at FC Porto: A Study on the Impact of Football on Mental Health and its Relationship with Performance
Introduction:
Football, the most popular sport in Europe, has been linked to various mental health issues for decades. The impact of football on mental health is still under investigation, but there is evidence to suggest that it may have a positive effect on certain aspects of mental well-being.
This study examines the impact of Galeno's passing data on mental health among FC Porto players. Specifically, we aim to investigate the relationship between Galeno's passing data (such as the number of passes made) and their performance metrics such as goals scored or assists. Our findings will shed light on the potential benefits of football in terms of mental health, particularly if they relate to specific areas of player development.
Methodology:
We conducted a cross-sectional survey of FC Porto players from 2019-2020, using the Galeno pass data tracking system. We collected data on the following variables: passes made, goals scored, assists, and individual performance metrics such as minutes played, tackles, interceptions,Campeonato Brasileiro Action and fouls committed.
Results:
Our analysis showed that players who had more passes made during the season had higher goals scored and assists compared to those who did not. However, our results were not consistent across different players' seasons. For example, while some players may have benefited from playing more passes, others may have suffered from decreased performance due to fatigue or other factors.
Discussion:
The results suggest that football can have both positive and negative effects on mental health. On one hand, high numbers of passes made may lead to increased opportunities for scoring goals and assists, which can improve overall performance. On the other hand, prolonged exposure to high-pressure situations and long-term demands on physical fitness could contribute to stress and burnout. Therefore, further research is needed to determine whether these benefits extend beyond just individual performances.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, Galeno's passing data provides valuable insights into the impact of football on mental health. While our findings suggest that players who engage in more passes tend to perform better, this does not necessarily mean that all players benefit equally. Further research is necessary to fully understand the complex relationship between football and mental health, including how it relates to specific areas of player development.
