“…Given that these games are typically conducted in confined spaces with fewer players, the heightened engagement required in the game leads to an increased number of technical actions. 37 Consequently, individual behavior for creating spaces and opportunities 38 contributes to a higher frequency of accelerations and decelerations. 33 Given that these actions frequently unfold within the dynamics of gameplay, it is plausible that SSGs contribute to the development of the ability to recognize stimuli and enhance the capacity to decelerate, break if necessary, and swiftly reaccelerate in a different direction.…”

The primary objective of this study was to systematically investigate the physiological and physical fitness adaptations resulting from small-sided games (SSGs) training programs in basketball players competing at youth competitive levels, as compared to other training approaches and/or control groups. To achieve this, we conducted a literature search on PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science, adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. From the initial 626 studies retrieved, five were considered eligible for the current study. Among the five included articles, four conducted comparisons between the effects of SSGs and running-based high-intensity interval training. Regarding this, the four studies revealed a significant improvement in the final velocity during the 30–15 Intermittent Fitness Test, ranging from 4.07% to 7.29% following SSG-based interventions. This improvement was not significantly different from the comparator group. Additionally, two studies indicated that the SSGs group showed a significant advantage in change-of-direction time, with improvements ranging from −2.11% to 6.69% after interventions, and these results were not significantly different from the comparator group. However, the effects on repeated sprint ability yielded contradictory findings; two studies reported significant improvements ranging from −5.00% to −2.16%, while two others did not show significant effects following SSGs-based interventions. Similarly, in the linear sprint, the results of SSGs-based interventions were inconsistent. In summary, based on the available research, it can be concluded that SSG-based training is effective in significantly enhancing aerobic performance and change of direction, comparable to alternative approaches. However, the effects on repeated sprint ability and sprint performance are not consistently demonstrated.

“…The same teams and players participated in both tournaments. The number of players (8 vs. 8), the playing area (58 × 38 m), the goal size (6 × 2 m), and the ball size (4) were stable between the two tournaments (Table 1). -The distance between defenders and the offside line is increased for goal kicks.…”

“…In teaching sessions, the main modifications made refer to modifications related to the playing space [ 4 , 5 ], number of players [ 6 , 7 ], ball [ 8 , 9 ], or structural elements [ 10 ]. In general, these studies indicate that the use of constraints adjusted to the needs of athletes stimulates sport learning, increasing variability, number of actions, and intensity of movements.…”

The aim of the present study was to analyse the effects of regulatory modifications in competitive situations on cinematic variables, considering maturity stage as a moderating factor, in youth football players. A quasi-experimental study was conducted in which 45 players with a mean age of 9.47 ± 0.54 participated. The independent variable analysed was the modification of rules (playing time, scoring, and specific rules). The dependent variables analysed were cinematic variables. These variables were recorded with WimuTM. The maturity stage was considered a moderating factor in this effect. The main results indicate that the modified competition reduced the total distance covered, maximum acceleration speed, and distance covered in acceleration and deceleration in different speed zones. In addition, the maturity stage was found to moderate the effect of the intervention on the total distance covered, distance covered by accelerating in zone 3, and distance covered by decelerating in zone 3. Thus, the proposed modification appeared to reduce the physical demand for competition. Furthermore, it reduced the differences between players with early maturational development and those with late maturational development.

“…The following inclusion criteria were set: (1) participants should be basketball players from any sex, age group (children/adolescents, adults, and older adults), skill, or competitive level (educational, recreational, and high performance/athlete); (2) intervention should be SSGs, defined as drill-based exercises that simplifies the dynamic of real team sport game while keeping the main properties of the game (Clemente et al, 2021b); (3) parameters screened consisted of tactical and technical actions; and (4) only original and full-text studies written in English, Portuguese, and Spanish were included. The following exclusion criteria were established: (1) studies with 3x3 basketball, as it is a specific sport modality; and (2) studies lacking criteria described in the inclusion criteria.…”

“…Participants ranged from 8-year-old beginners (Martínez-Fernández et al, 2015) to senior players at the professional level (Boros et al, 2020;Brini et al, 2021). The game format manipulations ranged from 1 vs. 1 (Clemente et al, 2021b;Clemente et al, 2019;Clemente et al, 2020b;González-Espinosa et al, 2021) to 5 vs. 5 (Clemente et al, 2021b;Clemente et al, 2017;Clemente et al, 2019;Clemente et al, 2020b;Ferioli et al, 2020;Figueira et al, 2022;Köklu et al, 2017;Mateus et al, 2019;McCornick et al, 2012;Piñar et al, 2009;Práxedes et al, 2021;Tallir et al, 2012). The characteristics of the studies included in this review, along with specific instruments and results related to the tactical and technical variables, are available in Table 1.…”

The ability to design Small-sided games (SSGs) by manipulating the game allows coaches to align the games with players' specific needs, thereby fostering adaptations in their behavior as they engage with the challenges presented in the drills. Given the increasing volume of original research on SSGs in basketball, this systematic review aims to synthesize acute technical and tactical responses observed in players of both genders, irrespective of their competitive level. A systematic review was performed based on PRISMA recommendations in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science database. The eligibility criteria included basketball players who had participated in SSGs, without the necessity for a comparator group. Outcomes focused on observed and recorded technical actions (such as passes and shots) and/or tactical behaviors (individual or collective). Data synthesis comprised compiling the observed technical and tactical outcomes, along with the main findings of the studies. An initial database search returned 1,758 studies. After the study selection process, 41 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis, comprising 922 participants of both sexes that ranged from beginners to professional players. The analyzed SSGs ranged from 1 vs. 1 to 5 vs. 5 game formats. Findings suggested that SSGs with fewer players demonstrated positive effects on technical performance and increased action frequency, while also fostering tactical behavior and decision-making. Moreover, research indicated that SSGs incorporating restrictions on dribbling actions led to a higher occurrence of passing actions.
