Abstract
Aim: We conducted a scoping review to map existing research on "playful soccer"—play in both organized and informal contexts. Method: Following Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines, we searched Scopus, APA, SPORTDiscus, and ProQuest, identified 1,801 records, and included 33 in the analysis. Findings: Three recurring themes emerged: (1) playful soccer often supports the development of soccer-specific skills; (2) most publications approached play—often from a purist perspective—mainly as a means to acquire soccer-relevant skills; and (3) theoretical and methodological frameworks were largely repetitive. Conclusion: The research repeats similar views and designs. More diverse perspectives on play, ways of applying play, and study designs and measures are needed to address gaps in the field.
Formål: Vi gennemførte et scoping review (kortlægningsstudie) for at kortlægge eksisterende forskning i "playful soccer"—leg i både organiserede og uformelle sammenhænge. Metode: Efter Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) retningslinjer søgte vi i Scopus, APA, SPORTDiscus og ProQuest, identificerede 1801 publikationer, og inkluderede 33 i analysen. Fund: Tre gennemgående temaer fremkom: (1) leg i fodbold understøtter ofte udviklingen af fodboldspecifikke færdigheder; (2) de fleste publikationer behandlede leg—ofte i en puristisk forståelse—primært som et middel til at opnå fodboldrelevante færdigheder; og (3) teoretiske og metodiske rammer var i høj grad gentagende. Konklusion: Forskningen gentager sig på flere måder. Der er behov for mere varierede syn på leg, forskellige måder at anvende leg på samt mere mangfoldige studiedesign og målinger for at udfylde forskningshuller.
