Purpose. Small-sided games (SSGs) are extensively used in soccer training around the world owing to the physical and physiological improvements reported among athletes. Elementary physical education students could achieve and solidify their tactical/technical knowledge in a relatively short time with the SSGs pedagogical strategy. The aim of this research was, firstly, to establish the between-age differences in the physical and physiological demands of a 3 vs. 3 futsal SSGs called 'four goals for three players,' and, secondly, to assess the tactical/technical knowledge acquisition. Methods. The sample involved 57 students (aged 10.44 ± 1.30 years) from a Spanish primary state school, grades third to sixth (8-12 years of age). The Polar Team Pro TM technology was used for collecting physical and physiological variables. The tactical/technical knowledge was evaluated with the Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI) co-assessment throughout SSGs implementation. ANOVA tests were executed. Results. Significantly different values were observed among different grades regarding the participants' average heart rate (bpm), minimum heart rate (bpm), maximum speed (km/h), number of accelerations (-1.99;-1.00 m/s 2), number of accelerations (-0.99;-0.50 m/s 2), number of accelerations (0.50; 0.99 m/s 2), and number of accelerations (1.00; 1.99 m/s 2). The analysis of variance for GPAI scores revealed significantly greater values only among different grades for the implication of game and shot decision-making index. Conclusions. Physiological demands and tactical/technical knowledge are also observed in educational context when SSGs are implemented. This pedagogical strategy helps teachers increase active participation during physical education sessions.

“…Most of these reports relate specifically to handball in Spain (Gómez, Pollard, & Luis-Pascual, 2011;Lago-Peñas, Gómez, Viaño, González-García, & Fernández-Villarino, 2013;Oliveira, Gómez, & Sampaio, 2012;Pollard & Gómez, 2012), but the same HA effect has been demonstrated to exist in other elite national handball leagues in Europe (Meletakos & Baylos, 2010). Other investigations into the effect of HA in handball have looked at how game location influences patterns of play (Pic, 2018), goal difference (Debanne & Laffaye, 2017) and game related statistics (Gómez, Lago-Peñas, Viaño, & González-Garcia, 2014).…”

Home advantage (HA), or the effect of match location, has been shown to play an important role in determining the result of a game. A method introduced over 30 years ago has enjoyed wide use. However, there is a possible problem with its interpretation. Although this can be overcome by rescaling the original value for HA, this paper introduces a somewhat different approach to quantifying HA, one that is derived by expressing home performance specifically as a function of away performance. The various methods are illustrated by analyzing HA for teams in the men's professional handball leagues in Portugal and Spain for the 2016-17 season. Results show that the traditional and rescaled methods both ensure a maximum value of 100% for HA, while the new method can produce values well above 100%. Also, when HA is small, as in the case of goals scored and conceded, then values from the new method are about twice those from the rescaled method. However, when HA is larger, as in the case of most of the teams in the lower half of the Spanish league table, when based on points, the new method produces HA values which are much higher that the rescaled. This method provides a new dimension to consider when trying to quantify HA. It has the advantage of also being appropriate for the difference between goals scored and goals conceded. Choice of methodology will depend on the specific objective being sought when studying the effect of HA on performance.

“…Following the same methodological and theoretical trail, Pic et al (2018) addressed the complexity of two motor games of different triads of the triadic census (Pic and Navarro, 2017;Pic and Navarro-Adelantado, 2019) through T-pattern analysis. A T-pattern is a powerful alternative to the discovery of hidden patterns based on events and temporal parameters in order to find a selfsimilar tree structure (Jonsson et al, 2006;Casarrubea et al, 2013Casarrubea et al, , 2014Pic, 2018b).…”

The main objective of the work is to address the effective behavior of girls and boys through Triadic Motor Games (TMG). A chasing game "The Maze" was applied on two class groups with a total of 42 players, 18 girls, and 24 boys, who were 12-and 13year-old secondary school students. An observational methodology was adopted, with a nomothetic, punctual, and multidimensional design. We used a mixed registry system that two expert observers later applied through an observational methodology, obtaining sufficient record-quality levels. THEME was applied to detect temporary regularities, while cross-tabulations and growth trees were applied with the SPSS v.24 tool to reveal whether girls and boys played in similar or distinct ways. The fact that the specific decision groups within the physical education class are different for girls and boys (p < 0.005) is worth reflecting on. The game's TMG complexity was addressed through roles and subroles, giving rise to a certain motor asymmetry in relation to gender, which is an expression of behaviors lacking in playful neutrality. Through a mixed-methods approach, a study was built using observational methodology that reveals more varied motor solutions in girls, while male behavior showed greater specialization of roles and subroles, and the linkage of these solutions with the favorable modification of the marker. Identifying relevant variables when playing TMG allows a better understanding of girls and boys by analyzing their relationships, which are sometimes paradoxical, in a practical context.
