This study aims to characterize the specific domains (SPD) and non-specific domains (NSD) of practice on the procedures of learning training in football, quantifying and identifying the experiences in order to find possible links between the estimates of accumulation of spent hours, relating them to the general aspects of practice. In this study, it was used a model of semi-structured interview. The sample (N=40), was composed of male subjects, athletes from junior category (u-20) from different populations - Portugal (pt=20) and Brazil (br=20), enabling comparative analysis of the results. After collecting the data, we analyzed the possible relationship between the profile of practice and the general aspects of training that each athlete analyzed. Regarding the discussion of the data, we made up comparisons of the results between the two clubs where the interviews were applied. The results are summarized having in mind the following aspects: (a) Portuguese Athletes (about 3000 hrs) have more experience in specific areas than Brazilian athletes (about 2600 hrs) up to 18 years old, (b) Brazilian Athletes (approx. 1600 hrs) have more experience in areas than non-specific athletes Portuguese (about 1000 hrs) up to 18 years old.

Goalball (G) is a collective sport, featured by specific individual and collective relationships. Purpose: to identify some behavioural patterns during a G game (offensive actions). Methods: Sample: 5 male teams from Portugal National Championships and 12 teams from G European Championship. Results: (i) Starting Point :the athletes often employed the Right Hand (p≤0,011) and Both Hands together (p≤0,003); (ii) Offensive Position: The Standing Offensive Position (p≤0,001) and the Bended Knees Position (p≤0,013) seemed to be the most adopted; (iii) Offensive Zone: concerning this zone the right zone (p≤0,001) and the Left Zone (p≤ 0.001) prevailed; iv) Throwing Type : concerning the number of throws on the viewed games, the Throwing (p=0,033), the Tricky Throwing (p≤0,001), the Easy Ball Throwing (p≤0,015) and the Penalty (p= 0,048) are the most employed; and (v) Throwing Trajectory: the athletes used the right-right zone (p≤0,025), right-central zone (p≤0,001) and left – right zone (p≤0,003).

El Goalball (G) es un deporte colectivo, caracterizado por relaciones individuales y colectivas específicas. Objetivo: identificar algunos patrones comportamentales de practicantes del G (acciones ofensivas). Método: la muestra está formada por 5 equipos masculinos del paro Campeonato Nacional de Portugal y 12 del Campeonato de Europa. Resultados: (i) Punto de partida: los atletas utilizaron con mayor frecuencia la mano derecha (p¿0.011) y las dos manos juntas (p¿0.003). (ii) Posición ofensiva: la posición ofensiva de pie (p¿0.001) y de rodillas (p¿0.013) aparecen como las más utilizadas. (iii) Zona ofensiva: con relación a la zona, uno prevalecía de las zonas derecha (p¿0.001) e izquierda (p¿0.001). (iv) Tipo de lanzamiento: el remate (p¿0.033), el remate con finta (p¿0.001), el remate a la pelota fácil (p¿0.015) y el penalti (p=0.048) aparecen como los más utilizados. En cuanto a la (v) trayectoria de los lanzamientos, los atletas utilizaron las zonas derecha-­¿derecha (p¿0.025), derecha-­¿central (p¿0.001) e izquierda-­¿derecha (p¿0.003).
