Explosive specific force trough small sided games and few players?: Intro

As commented in the last post, I have prepared a presentation about the issue of the development of the specific explosive force using small soccer sided games with just few players participating.
I think this is one of the usual mistakes we do when talking about specificity of the tasks for the development of the specific explosiveness: to interpret that as we are using less space (pitch dimension), we have less time to act, so less time means more explosiveness ... then small sided games with few players are the correct task for developing specific explosive strength. In fact this is clear for the decision making, but what happens with the force demonstration (as we are talking about explosive strength)?

On one side, we need the quality of the stimulus specifically oriented towards the explosiveness, and on the other side, we need the correct quantity of this stimulus, in order to be able to cause a change in the desired direction.

So lets start with this very interesting issue, in order to clarify not only the concept, but also to establish the correct basis for being able to progress in our understanding of how to modify and optimize our training methodology.

Enjoy,
