The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different Small-Sided games (SSG) formats and simulated match handball training (SMHT) on handball player's physical performance and game activity profile. Twenty-four youth female handball players (age: 16.2 ± 1.5 years) participated in this study. The study was conducted during the first part of the competitive handball season and lasted for 10 weeks with 2 sessions per week in non-consecutive days: 1 week of pretesting, 8 weeks of specific training, and 1 week of post-testing. A two-group parallel randomized, pre- to post-test design was used to compare 2 different training groups: SSG training group (n = 12) and SMHT group (n = 12). The results showed larger improvements in drop jump height, jump power, absolute and relative anaerobic alactic power and 10 m sprint performances following the SSG training compared with the SMHT (p<0.05, ηp2 = ranging from 0.219 to 0.368). Game performance characteristics showed significant effect in SSD training in average sprint distance, total number of sprints and time between sprints (p<0.05, ηp2 = ranging from 0.08 to 0.292). The results of this study show that handball SSGs represent an adequate in-season strategy to promote a wide range of physical adaptations with improvements in running and jumping performance. This represents important information for coaches, since SSGs develop handball players' physical profiles while replicating tactical and technical features of the game. Nevertheless, simulated match training may be judiciously used to improve players' aerobic performance.
本研究旨在比较不同小场地比赛（SSG）形式和模拟比赛手球训练（SMHT）对手球运动员身体表现和比赛活动特征的影响。24 名青年女手球运动员（年龄：16.2±1.5 岁）参与了本研究。研究在竞技手球赛季的第一阶段进行，持续了 10 周，每周进行 2 次训练，在非连续的日子里进行：1 周的预测试，8 周的专项训练，以及 1 周的后测试。采用两组平行随机、前后测试设计来比较 2 种不同的训练组：SSG 训练组（n=12）和 SMHT 组（n=12）。结果显示，与 SMHT 相比，SSG 训练后，纵跳高度、跳跃力量、绝对和相对无氧非乳酸能力以及 10 米冲刺表现均有较大提高（p<0.05，ηp2 范围为 0.219 至 0.368）。比赛表现特征显示，在 SSD 训练中，平均冲刺距离、总冲刺次数和冲刺间隔时间有显著影响（p<0.05，ηp2 范围为 0.08 至 0.292）。本研究结果表明，手球 SSG 是一种在赛季中促进广泛身体适应的适当策略，可提高跑步和跳跃表现。这对手册教练来说是重要的信息，因为 SSG 发展手球运动员的身体特征，同时复制比赛的战术和技术特征。然而，模拟比赛训练可能明智地用于提高运动员的有氧表现。
