Influence of half time score, match location and scoring first on match outcome in roller hockey

Abstract

Performance analysis appears to be widely accepted by players, coaches and sports scientists as useful feedback to achieve better results on the coaching process (Liu, Hopkins, & Gómez, 2016). Although there are several studies on the different variables and performance indicators in team sports like basketball, handball or soccer (Garcia-Rubio, Gómez, LagoPeñas, & Ibañez, 2015; Prieto, Gómez, & Sampaio, 2015), there are few data on this topic in roller hockey.
