Physiological and technical demands of the small-sided and generic games in female futsal players

Aim: This study aimed to compare the heart rate (HR) values and technical actions frequencies during small-sided (SSG) generic (GG) games in women futsal players. Methods: Six players (age: 20.5 ± 7.4 years, height: 163.3 16 cm, body mass: 57.9 22 kg, maximum of oxygen consumption (VO2max): 42.0 9 mL.kg.min−1) performed two experimental conditions days separated for at least 72h interval: (1) one set 10 min SSG, 3x3 players; (2) GG, 4 (1 joker) x During each session, subject's HR were monitored every 1 play. Pass, shot, dribbling, driving, disarmament recorded games. Results: There was no difference between SSG GG average (p = 0.50). The that first minute higher than 0.02). HRmax equivalent 91.9% 90.8% incremental test, respectively. Total (+ 18.4%, p 0.001) GG. Pass (+16%; 0.01) comparison Conclusion: Both models AT velocity. suggesting model is a suitable physiological stimulus development female
