Adjusting the Design: New Rules to Maximize the Experience

The aim of this chapter is to provide the information about the implications of changing the rules of small-sided games. By using the data from the most recent studies, a set of conditioned games will be analyzed in their acute effects, particularly in internal and external training load and in the technical and tactical adjustments that depend on the game. Task conditions such as the type of targets or goals, goalkeepers, limits on ball touches, numerical relationship with the opponent or the type of encouragement will be analyzed, helping the coaches to identify the best variables to constrain in the particular contexts.
