| Summary: | <p>The objective of this study was to identify the developmental pathway, to identify the</p><p>microstructure of training activities and to investigate the effectiveness of small-sided</p><p>games (SSG) on technical skills and fitness components after 6 weeks of training</p><p>program on elite U-22 soccer players and then compare it to university-based soccer</p><p>players. The methodology that had been used were questionnaire (PHQ) in identifying</p><p>athletes practice histories, video recording as to analysing the types of practice activities</p><p>and testing battery such as Agility T-Test (agility), 30-m Sprint Test (speed), YYIRTL1</p><p>(cardiovascular endurance), LSPT (passing) and Slalom Dribble Test (dribbling) as to</p><p>investigate the effect of SSG training. The findings indicated that elite u-22 soccer</p><p>players had started late, spent less time in unstructured activities and participated less</p><p>number in other sports as it found to statistically difference as being compared to</p><p>university-based players. Other than that, the practice activities for u-22 players had</p><p>contain more training form activities while found to be no significant difference when</p><p>compared it between groups. Lastly, there was a significant difference within group at all</p><p>variables except for agility and found a significant result on dribbling, speed and VO2max</p><p>when compared between group. In conclusion, this finding provide the scientific data</p><p>relating to elite performers pathway, types of activities used on elite practice activities</p><p>and the SSG implementation to improve performance. The findings of this study may</p><p>contribute to a better coaching sciences body of knowledge.</p> |
