Enhancing children's motivation and enjoyment in playing games: the impact of multi-set game structures in handball-based activities

Abstract

The results suggest a positive effect of playing in multi-set structures. Thus, we recommend structure modifications for conducting small-sided games in team sports like handball in children's competitions, training or physical education settings. However, further research on changes in playing structures is warranted.
