Abstract :This study aimed to find out whether SSGs using wide and length field sizes have an effect on the physiological parameters and technical actions in football. Sixteen amateur male football players were recruited on a voluntary basis. The players were divided into teams of 4 according to the opinions of their coaches and the results of the Yo-Yo test. The study was applied in the form of 2 different SSGs: SSGWidth (26 m length and 34 m wide) and SSGLength (34 m length and 26 m wide). The SSGs were performed in 3 sets for 6 minutes. A passive rest of 3 min was given between the sets. The heart rate (HR), blood lactate, and Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) were measured before and after the SSGs. The technical actions were determined by the notation analysis. No significant difference was found in the HR, the blood lactate, and the RPE between the groups in the post-test. After the SSGs, the HR, blood lactate and RPE increased significantly in both the SSGLength and SSGWidth. Although the number of interceptions in SSGWidth was statistically lower than in the SSGLength, there was no statistically significant difference between the SSGLength and SSGWidth in the goal kicks, accurate passing, inaccurate pass, dribbling, tackling, and ball possession time. Finally, for fast attacking after catching the ball (interception), coaches may prefer the SSGLength rather than the SSGWidth. It seems that more studies are needed on the effect of SSGLength and SSGWidth in terms of other variables.
