Influencia de los juegos reducidos en las habilidades técnico-tácticas de jóvenes de 17 a 19 años del Club Deportivo Cuenca

Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of small-sided games on the development of technical-tactical skills in young soccer players at Deportivo Cuenca Academy. The study consisted of 30 participants from the under-20 category and employed an experimental design with pre- and post-intervention tests. It lasted for 3 months, divided into 25 sessions. To compare the collected data, the Team Sport Assessment Procedure (TSAP) test proposed by Gréhaigne et al. (1997) and the Technical-Tactical Performance Index (IATT) test by Vera et al. (2007) were used. The results showed a statistically significant improvement (p<0.05) in the precision of technical-tactical skills, evidenced by performance indicators (TSAP) and technical-tactical actions in different phases of the game, both offensive and defensive (IATT). These results suggest that small-sided games (SSGs) are an effective tool for training young soccer players, promoting the development of their technical and tactical skills.
