The Hidden Cost: Effects of Prior Coordinative, Sprint, and Combined Tasks on Physical Performance During Small-Sided Games in Youth Soccer Players
= .023) reduced the number of decelerations compared with CONT. Overall, the combined condition was associated with selective reductions in specific physical performance variables during subsequent SSGs, whereas most speed-zone, acceleration, and deceleration variables remained unchanged. Therefore, combined coordinative and sprint tasks should be incorporated with caution when SSGs are intended to provide a high physical stimulus.
