Resumen

Football has been taught from a traditional perspective, giving priority to the technical components than to the tactical ones. With the development of new models in sport initiation such as Teaching Games For Understanding, the way of training football is being changed, where the tactical components and the decision making of the players is the predominant thing. The objective of this study was to compare the physical activity (PA) levels measured with accelerometry in the Teaching Games for Understanding and the Traditional Model. A total of 30 soccer players belonging U-12 participated in the study with an average age of 10.3 ± 0.45. Five sessions in both groups were analysed. The experimental group carried out training using the direct instruction and the control group a traditional methodology. Significant results were obtained in light and moderate physical activity, being superior in the comprehensive model with respect to the traditional model. The comprehensive model seems to be an appropriate model for teaching football at school ages, allowing players to accumulate higher levels of PA
