PHYSIOLOGICAL AND TECHNICAL DEMANDS OF 4 v 4 AND 8 v 8 GAMES IN ELITE YOUTH SOCCER PLAYERS
@article{Jones2007PHYSIOLOGICALAT, title={PHYSIOLOGICAL AND TECHNICAL DEMANDS OF 4 v 4 AND 8 v 8 GAMES IN ELITE YOUTH SOCCER PLAYERS}, author={Steven Jones and Barry Drust}, journal={Kinesiology}, year={2007}, volume={39}, pages={150-156} }
Eight elite male soccer players from a Premier League Soccer Academy completed 4 v 4 and 8 v 8 games. The physiological responses to match-play were determined for each player by recording their heart rates during all the games and filming each player to determine individual work-rate profiles and evaluate technical actions. Mean ± SD heart rate for 4 v 4 and 8 v 8 matches were not significantly different (4 v 4, 175 ± 10 beats/min; 8 v 8, 168 ± 6 beats/min). Total distance covered during games…

HR is high in youth football matches irrespective of the level of play and the game format, and playing with fewer players on smaller pitches results in minor changes to the physical loading but elevates the technical involvement of youth players both at elite level and recreational level.

3- a-side, 4-a-side and 5-a -side SSG formats provide players with the opportunity to spend sufficient proportion of time spent in high intensity zones that are specific to match demands, and heart rate responses during SSGs and OM are investigated.
Differences in strength and speed demands between 4v4 and 8v8 small-sided football games
- EducationJournal of sports sciences
- 2016
The 4v4 + goalkeepers SSG format appeared more demanding in relation to repetitions and fatigue development of muscle power-based actions than 8v8 + GK, and may therefore be logical to use the former type of SSG to target development of power-related football actions.
