Decisional behaviors and physical effort in the multidimensional vision of Marro from the gender perspective

A 360-degree multidimensional approach, grounded in natural settings, is adopted to investigate two 'El Marro' (JDT) game sessions featuring asymmetrical participation of players (24 participants; M = 19.4; SD = 1.3). Once reliable data quality indicators were achieved, descriptive, predictive (Chaid Model), and T-Patterns analyses were conducted. The findings revealed that men exhibited higher speed than women (p <.001). Furthermore, the role played by participants emerged as the primary explanatory variable in the Chaid model (p <.001). Through T-Patterns analysis, different levels of complexity in game interpretation were identified among the players. Specifically, out of the 12 players analyzed, 8 players (2 girls and 6 boys) demonstrated a complexity level of 3, while 4 boys surpassed these complexity levels. These findings suggest that the played role can serve as a tool to modulate organic variables that characterize differences between women and men.A 360-degree multidimensional approach, grounded in natural settings, is adopted to investigate two 'El Marro' (JDT) game sessions featuring asymmetrical participation of players (24 participants; M = 19.4; SD = 1.3).
