The Effect Of Different Types Of Warming On Technical Action In Small-Sided Games

It has been observed that the desired behaviors and skills have developed with the regulations and limitations made in small sided games (SSG). In this study, it is aimed to look at the effect of different warm-up types on technical parameters in small sided games. Twenty-four male soccer players in the U-16 and U-17 teams of Selcuklu Belediyespor, one of the amateur league teams of Konya (average age 16.41±0.50, average height 174.62±7.66cm and average body weight 62.33 ±7.83kg) participated in the study voluntarily. Before the study, the players were divided into four groups and for 15 minutes; Group 1 started SSG with static warm-up, group 2 dynamic warm-up, group 3 with ball warm-up, and group 4 without warming up. The study was applied in a 20x25m area, as 4x4min x 3 set. Height and body weight measurements were taken from the athletes participating in the study before the study, and the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) of the player between sets and at the end of the sets were determined with the Borg Scale. All actions from the beginning to the end of the study were recorded with a camera at a height of 5m and technical actions were determined with the Mathball Analysis Program. The statistical evaluation of the findings was made with the SPSS 23.0 computer package program, and the arithmetic mean and standard deviation of all parameters were calculated. In the study, Kruskal-Wallis test was used to evaluate the difference between the groups, and the Mann-Whitney-U test was used to determine which group the difference originated from. Differences at the P<0.05 level were considered significant. Athletes who participated in SSG without warming up attempted to play more in the first set than the groups that did static and dynamic warm-ups, and in the third set compared to the group that did dynamic warm-ups. In the first set, it was seen that the group that warmed up with the ball blocked the pass way more than the group that did not warm up. In addition, it was observed that the groups that did and did not warm up with the ball had higher perceptions of strain in the first set than the group that did static warm-ups. No significant difference was observed between the groups in all other actions and parameters. As a result, it has been observed that the athletes who participate in SSG with the ball and without any warm-up have more difficulty in the first set, but they adapt in the following sets. In addition, it was observed that the athletes in different warm-up protocols showed similar reactions to the actions in SSG.
