Collective metabolic power exertion in soccer training: Small sided soccer game 3x3.
After a sightseeing of collective metabolic power exertion during soccer games, in professional and amateur Spanish soccer teams, we have done also a tour over the same metric demonstrated when playing different specific tactical games.
Now is the turn to go over the collective metabolic power exertion of different specific training tasks.
As a starting point, when planning a microcycle, a session or specially just a task, we have to had a clear idea of the main and secondary target of it, in order to be able to evaluate and if necessary correct it to improve our team performance.
By now, we are just paying attention to the conditioning structure of our team (without loosing sight the others structures as coordinative, cognitive, socio-affective, emotional-volitive, etc.).
With this in mind, and having as a reference the phases of higher collective metabolic power exertion during games, we are trying to show how to better improve our training methodology.
This implies that those specific tasks that we propose to try to improve in some way the specific conditioning of our team must be related to what happens during competition.
After this little reminder, let's go for today video where you will see an example of a typical small sided game of 3 against 3 players, with standard goals and goalkeepers for each team, in a pitch of 40x30m. This task was carried out during the in-season trainings of a spanish amateur soccer team (Cambrils CF), and as you will see there are some very interesting things to analyze.
Enjoy,
