“…This difference was significant between the SSG 3 and SSG 5 conditions. The present findings support the previous work of Rampinini et al (36) and Da Silva et al (43), which reported that a decreased number of the players on the court increased mean %HRmax (36, 43) in male participants. Further, mean HRmax in the present study approached values from competition matches (82-90% of HRmax) previously reported in the literature (3, 9, 32).…”

This study examined the distance covered and physiological effects of altering the number of players during small-sided games (SSG) in team handball. Twelve professional female handball players [24.6±3.7 years, 172±6.2 cm, 68.2 ± 9.9kg, 22.7 ± 2 kg/m 2 ] participated in this study. The SSG were played, first with five on each side (SSG 5), then four (SSG 4), then three (SSG 3). Each game was four minutes long, followed by three minutes of rest. The distance covered and time spent in four speed zones (based on player movement speed) were selected for analysis: Zone 1 (0-1.4 m/s), Zone 2 (1.5-3.4 m/s), Zone 3 (3.5-5.2 m/s), and Zone 4 (>5.2 m/s). Statistically significant differences were found in Zone 2, between conditions SSG 3 and SSG 4 (p=.049, ω 2 = .32). The highest average heart rate (HR) occurred during SSG 3. Average HR between SSG 3 (89.7 % HRmax) and SSG 5 (87.8 % HRmax) (p= .04, ω2= .26) were also significantly different. Participant HR response between the speed zones was not statistically significant. HR response was negatively correlated with the number of players within the SSG condition. Statistically significant results were found for RPE between SSG 3 and the other two SSG conditions (SSG 4, p = .01, and SSG 5, p = .00). These results indicate that changing the number of SSG players can be used to manipulate the physiological response during handball training.

“…The results of this study are in agreement with some similar researches 20,21 and disagreement with others that show that the types of SSG with a smaller number of players can lead to an increased number of technical skills, 16,18,19 demonstrating the need to investigate further in this direction, because there is no agreement in the literature. 37 These differences can depend by the different technical skill levels of those involved.…”

Abbreviations: ssg-small sided games, hr-heart rate, rpe-rate of perceived exertion: u17-under 17 IntroductionThe Small-Sided Games (SSG) is technical exercises submitted in the form of games appropriately modified by the coaches and/or fitness coaches on the basis of sport specific training.1 These variations are done to simplify and preserve the specific characteristics of team sports practiced. 2The SSG produce numerous benefits in the soccer players; these functional benefits are described in detail in the literature:3,4 SSG are very widespread football training exercises to improve both the physical condition and the technical abilities, both in adults than in young soccer players 5−8 optimizing the training time. 9The literature suggests that compared to traditional matches 11vs11, the SSG allow to get similar or even higher values in relation of heart rate, 10,11 to the concentration of blood lactate, as well as to the distance covered; 12 resulting, thus, very functional for the physical and technical training. 4,7,13 In the youth training, it is sought training proposals that are appropriate in the physiological characteristics of young soccer player and that may increase the functional values and technical skills.14 Even the cognitive aspects relating to understanding of the game for young soccer players, also seem to depend on the field sizes, the number of players and the type of the exercises.15 In addition to motivational aspects and learning, the SSG, already from the prepubertalage, represent significant exercises for the development of technical skills, such as passing, stop, shot on goal, etc 8,16−22 and physical aspects. 8,20,23−25 The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare the internal load and the type and frequency of use of some technical skills in different types of SSG (3vs3, 4vs4, 5vs5) in young soccer players. Materials and methodsThe study included 10 young soccer players U17 (mean age 15,6±0,5 years, weight: 66±7,3 kg; height: 172±5 cm). Written informed consent was obtained from all subjects.HR was assessed using wireless heart rate monitors equipped with a telemetry system (Polar Electro Oy, Kempele, Finland). The 3vs3, 4vs4 and 5vs5 SSG was played on an 18 x 30 meter, 24 x 36 meter and 30 x 42 meter, respectively. 26 The playing surface was composed of the latest generation of artificial turf. For the RPE the 6-20 Borg scale was used. 27,28 The exercises were filmed with a camera for the next counting of technical skills. All SSG formats used a size 5 football.The young soccer players before making the different SSG formats have followed a warm up of 15 minutes, including an aerobic activation, dynamic stretching exercises, joint mobility exercises, and running technique exercises.The 4vs4 and 5vs5 formats were performed for 3 to 6 min while the 3vs3 for 3 to 4 min. The recovery between series was passive for 90 sec for all types of SSG examined. During the duration of the playing sessions, heart rate was constantly monitored using wireless Polar heart rate monitors and at...

“…Thus, researchers have examined factors that may affect the intensity of SSG such as dimensions of the pitch, number of players, coach encouragement, continuous and intermittent modality, and goalkeepers' participation (da Silva et al, 2011;Hill-Haas, Dawson, Impellizzeri, & Coutts, 2011). Little and Williams (2006), and Reilly (2005) indicated that high specificity of loading, Background: Small-sided games (SSG) are spontaneous forms of specific training where exercise intensity can be manipulated mainly by modifying external factors.…”
