Varying Numbers of Players in Small-Sided Soccer Games Modifies Action Opportunities during Training (2014, neutral): “These modified games are played on adapted pitch areas, often using especially-modified rules and involving a smaller number of players than in full-sided games to enhance learning opportunities 13 .”
High-Intensity Interval Training, Solutions to the Programming Puzzle (2013, background): “so-called small sided games, SSG) [43–46] or skill-based [47, 48] conditioning has received an exponential growth in interest [49].”
Agility and Change-of-Direction Speed are Independent Skills: Implications for Training for Agility in Invasion Sports (2015, background): “SMALL-SIDED GAMES Small-sided games (SSG) have become a popular training method for invasion sports because they have the potential to develop multiple fitness components together with sport-specific skills and tactics [49].”
Effects of manipulations of player numbers vs. field dimensions on inter-individual coordination during small-sided games in youth football (2015, neutral): “…circular relative space per player area surrounding each player, point-by-point over time that corresponded to each SSCG (118, 133 or 152 m 2 ), since, in theory, it is considered to represent the performance area allocated to each player (Casamichana and Castellano, 2010; Hill-Haas et al. , 2011).”
Tactical performance changes with equal vs unequal numbers of players in small-sided football games (2014, background): “…SSGs for developing the tactical and decision-making behaviour of players and teams (Davids, Araújo, Correia, & Vilar, 2013; Gabbett, Jenkins, & Abernethy, 2009) leaving an identified need for investigating SSGs in this regard (Folgado, Lemmink, Frencken, & Sampaio, 2012; Hill-Haas et al., 2011).”
High-Intensity Interval Training, Solutions to the Programming Puzzle (2013, neutral): “a All run-based HIT sessions are performed in a straight line and on grass to minimize musculoskeletal load b In addition to player number (which are indicated as # versus #, with the lower the player number, the greater the cardiorespiratory demands), pitch size and playing rules can be altered to ”
Training Load Monitoring in Team Sports: A Novel Framework Separating Physiological and Biomechanical Load-Adaptation Pathways (2017, background): “Studies have found that reducing pitch size reduces the physiological load (78,79), but that it likely increases the biomechanical load (79,80).”
