(HAWASSA UNIVERSITY, 2023-11) ALEMAYEHU TURGA FUJIE
Small-sided games (SSGs) are modified versions of traditional team sports that are played with fewer players on a smaller field or court. It involves reducing the number of players on each team and adjusting the rules to create a more fast-paced and skill-intensive environment. SSGs are commonly used in training and development programs to enhance player skills, decision-making, teamwork, and fitness levels. However, earlier research has not yet considered the effects of SSG in basketball. The main focus of this study is to determine whether SSGs have a significant impact on these physical attributes: CVE, agility, and speed. A single-factor experimental design was used. Participants underwent a 10-week SSG training program. Pre- and post-intervention, a 2.4 km run test, a T-test, and a 20-meter acceleration test were used to determine the cardiovascular endurance, agility, and speed, respectively. The mean, standard deviation, paired sample t-test, and independent sample t-test were used for statistical analysis. Participants underwent a 10- week SSG training program. Pre- and post-intervention, a 2.4 km run test, a T-test, and a 20-meter acceleration test were used to determine the cardiovascular endurance, agility, and speed, respectively, at 0.05. The result shows that there is a significant improvement between the pre-post results of CVE (M = 14.45’, SD = 1.57) and agility (M = 12.86’, SD = 1.71); and agility (M = 11.29”, SD = 0.75) and agility (M = 9.8", SD = 0.8). On the other hand, there was no significant improvement in speed (M = 3.58", SD = 0.21) or (M = 3.54”, SD = 0.24). Therefore, it can be concluded that the 10-week SSG has a significant effect on CVE and agility. These results provide valuable insights for coaches, trainers, teachers, instructors, and other researchers to use as a starting point to incorporate training protocols
