Effects of small-sided games on passing accuracy and explosive power in primary school children

Purpose: The aim of our research was to determine the effects of small-sided games on passing accuracy and explosive strength in primary school children. The authors hypothesized that this program might significantly improve passing and explosive power in children. Methods: Forty-eight primary school children participated in this study (12, 26±1, 01). They were tested for lower body explosive power and passing accuracy. Players were randomly allocated into a small-sided games group (n = 24) and instructional group (n = 24). Each player participated in a 12-week training program that included 2 organized court training sessions per week. Results: There was statistically significant difference pre- to post-training (p < 0.01) in Block and Spike jump after 12 weeks of SSG training. In SJ and CMJ results revealed a statistically significant difference between groups pre- to post-training (p < 0.05). Both groups made significant increases in passing accuracy with significant interaction effect between the groups. Conclusion: Small-sided games implemented in primary school education appears to be an effective way of improving explosive strength and passing accuracy. The results of this study indicate that SSG method was more effective for improving passing and lower body explosive power than traditional instructional school programme.
