The present study aimed to investigate the area per player (ApP) to replicate the technical and locomotor match demands using small-sided games (SSGs) in male soccer players ( = 20) competing in major European and UEFA competitions. The relative number of each individual technical activity per minute (number · min; technical demands) was counted and the relative (m · min) total (TD), high-speed running (HSRD), very high-speed running (VHSRD), sprint and acceleration+deceleration (Acc+Dec) distances were collected during different SSG formats ( = 24; 4 vs 4 to 10 vs 10 with an ApP from 60 to 341 m · player) and official matches ( = 28). Data were collected during two full seasons. A linear mixed model analysis was used to calculate the individual relationship between technical/locomotor demands and the ApP during SSGs; the correlation coefficient was also calculated. With the exception of an inverse ( = -0.457) correlation for Acc+Dec, each locomotor metric (TD, HSRD, VHSRD and sprint) showed a positive to ( = 0.560 to 0.710) correlation with ApP ( < 0.001). The technical demands showed an inverse moderate correlation ( = -0.529) with ApP. Additionally, inverse to correlations ( = -0.397 to -0.600; < 0.05) between the technical demands and the locomotor demands (TD, HSR, VHSR and sprint) were found. Lastly, an ApP of ~243 m · player was found to replicate the official match technical demand and it was quite similar to the ApP required to replicate HSRD, VHSRD and sprint. These findings may help practitioners to replicate, overload and underload both technical and locomotor demands using a specific ApP during SSGs in elite soccer.
本研究旨在调查在参加欧洲主要和欧足联比赛的男性足球运动员（n = 20）中，使用小型比赛（SSG）来复制技术和运动比赛需求时的人均面积（ApP）。计算了每分钟每项个人技术活动的相对数量（次数·分钟；技术需求），并在不同的SSG形式（n = 24；4对4至10对10，ApP从60至341平方米·球员）和正式比赛（n = 28）期间收集了相对（米·分钟）总距离（TD）、高速跑（HSRD）、极高速跑（VHSRD）、冲刺以及加速+减速（Acc+Dec）距离。数据在两个完整赛季中收集。使用线性混合模型分析来计算SSG期间技术/运动需求与ApP之间的个体关系；还计算了相关系数。除了Acc+Dec的负相关（r = -0.457）外，每个运动指标（TD、HSRD、VHSRD和冲刺）与ApP均呈正相关（r = 0.560至0.710）（P < 0.001）。技术需求与ApP呈中度负相关（r = -0.529）。此外，还发现技术需求与运动需求（TD、HSR、VHSR和冲刺）之间存在负相关（r = -0.397至-0.600；P < 0.05）。最后，发现人均约243平方米的ApP可复制正式比赛的技术需求，并且与复制HSRD、VHSRD和冲刺所需的ApP非常相似。这些发现可能有助于从业者在精英足球的SSG期间，使用特定的ApP来复制、过载和欠载技术和运动需求。
