In order to investigate the physical demands of widely used in soccer small-sided games (SSGs), we compared
game variations performed under different interval (fixed or variable) and timing regimens (beginning or end of a
training session). Twelve male players wore GPS devices during the SSGs to record total distance, relative distance,
distance at different speeds, and maximum velocity variables. Four variations of SSGs (4x4) were randomly applied:
beginning of a training session with fixed and variable recovery, or end of a training session with fixed and variable
recovery. During the beginning or end of a training session settings with fixed recovery duration, 2-min of playing and
2-min of recovery were provided. During the beginning and end of a training session settings with variable recovery,
athletes kept playing until a goal was scored, or up to 2-min if no goals were scored. Results were analysed using
MANOVA. Total distance and relative distance were higher in the beginning compared to end of training sessions for
both fixed and variable recovery duration (small to moderate effect sizes). Distance at various speed ranges (i.e., 13-18
km/h and >18 km/h) was higher (p ≤ 0.01) at the beginning than at the end of training sessions with variable recovery.
In addition, distance >18 km/h was higher at the beginning of a training session with variable recovery than fixed
recovery and at the end of a training session with variable recovery than fixed recovery. In conclusion, several physical
demand characteristics are affected by the moment of SSG application, while others respond to the recovery regime
during SSGs, thus providing indications to the coaches to prescribe the intended training intensity by manipulating the
context
