Smaller formats of sided games (SSG), such as 1v1 to 4v4, are often reported to be more physically and physiologically demanding than medium-sided games (e.g., 6v6 to 8v8). However, there is a lack of experimental research examining the effects of such stimuli on physical fitness adaptations in untrained men. This study aimed to compare the effects of small-sided games (SSG) and medium-sided games (MSG) on various physical fitness parameters (e.g., outcome 1; outcome 2) in untrained men after an 8-week intervention period. A randomized controlled design was used, comparing two experimental groups with a control group that maintained a sedentary lifestyle, which was confirmed through questionnaires. Sixty men (mean age: 18.8 ± 0.74 years) volunteered for the study. The experimental groups underwent a training intervention three times per week for eight weeks. Participants in the SSG group played games ranging from 1v1 to 3v3, while those in the MSG group engaged in games from 6v6 to 8v8. Before and after the intervention, all participants completed a series of fitness assessments, including the standing long jump (SLJ), vertical jump (VJ), 10- and 30-meter sprints, change of direction (COD), and a 20-meter multi-stage fitness test (MFT). Results revealed that after eight weeks, the SSG group demonstrated significant improvements over the control group in SLJ (p < 0.01; ES = 0.642), VJ (p < 0.01; ES = 0.511), 10-meter sprint (p < 0.01; ES = 0.62), 30-meter sprint (p < 0.01; ES = 0.41), COD (p < 0.01; ES = 0.435), and 20-meter MFT (p < 0.01; ES = 0.64). Similarly, the MSG group showed significant gains compared to the control group in SLJ (p < 0.01; ES = 0.541), VJ (p < 0.01; ES = 0.439), 10-meter sprint (p < 0.01; ES = 0.451), 30-meter sprint (p < 0.01; ES = 0.25), COD (p < 0.01; ES = 0.523), and 20-meter MFT (p < 0.01; ES = 0.693). In conclusion, this study shows that both SSG and MSG are equally effective in enhancing physical fitness parameters in untrained men, despite slight variations in intensity.
据报道，较小规模的对抗赛（SSG），如1对1至4对4，通常比中等规模的对抗赛（如6对6至8对8）对身体和生理的要求更高。然而，缺乏实验研究来检验此类刺激对未经训练男性体能适应的影响。本研究旨在比较小型对抗赛（SSG）和中型对抗赛（MSG）对未经训练男性在8周干预期后各项体能参数（如结果1；结果2）的影响。采用随机对照设计，将两个实验组与一个保持久坐生活方式的对照组进行比较，通过问卷调查证实了这一点。60名男性（平均年龄：18.8±0.74岁）自愿参加该研究。实验组每周进行三次训练干预，为期八周。SSG组的参与者进行1对1至3对3的比赛，而MSG组的参与者进行6对6至8对8的比赛。在干预前后，所有参与者都完成了一系列体能评估，包括立定跳远（SLJ）、垂直纵跳（VJ）、10米和30米短跑、变向（COD）以及20米多级体能测试（MFT）。结果显示，八周后，SSG组在SLJ（p<0.01；ES = 0.642）、VJ（p<0.01；ES = 0.511）、10米短跑（p<0.01；ES = 0.62）、30米短跑（p<0.01；ES = 0.41）、COD（p<0.01；ES = 0.435）和20米MFT（p<0.01；ES = 0.64）方面比对照组有显著改善。同样，MSG组与对照组相比，在SLJ（p<0.01；ES = 0.541）、VJ（p<0.01；ES = 0.439）、10米短跑（p<0.01；ES = 0.451）、30米短跑（p<0.01；ES = 0.25）、COD（p<0.01；ES = 0.523）和20米MFT（p<0.01；ES = 0.693）方面也有显著提高。总之，本研究表明，尽管强度略有差异，但SSG和MSG在提高未经训练男性的体能参数方面同样有效。
