Resum:
This study is based on two objectives: the first is theoretical and justifies the substitution of the term 'strategy' with the term 'set pieces' when talking about the resumption of play in football using the theory of Motor Praxiology. The second one tries to demonstrate the practical relevance of such actions in competition and training by means of four observation studies. The first study analyzes the characteristics of goals from set pieces in the BBVA League season 2008-09, the second one analyses the frequency and effectiveness of the set pieces, the third one analyses the efficiency of corners regarding the zones of the penalty box, and the fourth one analyses their training. One of the remarkable results is the low dedication to train the set plays (5.5% of total training time). On the other hand, in competition the 32.1% of goals come from such actions, the most influential areas are the 6-Yard Box and The Critical Area. Keywords: strategy, set pieces, motor praxiology, the critical area.
