játékoscsere

Játékoscsere, often translated as player substitution, is a common practice in many sports and games. It involves one player being replaced by another during the course of a match or game. The reasons for a játékoscsere can vary widely, including tactical adjustments, player fatigue, injury, or to give an opportunity to a reserve player. The rules and frequency of substitutions are typically defined by the specific sport's governing body.

In team sports like football (soccer), basketball, and ice hockey, substitutions are a critical part of strategy. Coaches use them to introduce fresh legs, change the offensive or defensive approach, or react to the opponent's tactics. Some sports have a limited number of substitutions allowed per game, while others permit an unlimited number. The timing of a substitution can also be a strategic decision, with some coaches preferring to make changes at set points or when a particular situation arises on the field.

In individual sports, or games with fewer players, substitutions might be less frequent or even non-existent. However, the concept of a player being unable to continue and being replaced by another can still occur, particularly in amateur leagues or informal settings. The term emphasizes the dynamic nature of gameplay and the management of a team's or individual's resources throughout a competition.
