摘要：Purpose The paper aimed to compare the performance related to passing among the categories of professional and U-15 futsal players, in open and closed contexts. Methods In total, 25 athletes were evaluated in 2 tests, namely open and closed contexts. The former aimed to observe the complexity of in-game execution in a dynamic and unpredictable mode, while the closed test simulated a closed and predictable task through the isolated execution of the pass. To compare the groups, the Student’s t and Mann-Whitney tests were used, respectively, with the level of significance at p Results There were significant differences across categories in the performance related to the open pass skill (p Conclusions Only the open context test identified differences in performance between categories, with the superiority of professional players.
