Identification of Performance Variables in Blind 5-A-Side Football: Physical Fitness, Physiological Responses, Technical-Tactical Actions and Recovery Variables: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Background: Blind 5-A-side football is an intermittent sport that requires the development of specific physical, physiological, and technical-tactical variables, making the identification of recovery processes such as sleep, well-being, and athletes' perceptions key factors in performance. However, to date, no systematic review has analyzed the scientific evidence on performance variables in players with visual impairments. Objective: To identify performance variables in blind 5-A-side football through the analysis of physical fitness factors, physiological demands, technical-tactical actions, and recovery variables. Materials and Methods: The following databases were consulted: Scopus, PubMed (Medline), Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. This systemati
