ABSTRACT

Currently, a training model that can effectively enhance players' performance according to the demands of competitive soccer is needed. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of Small-Sided Games (SSG) training model on soccer player performance through a systematic literature review. The review is conducted using the ScienceDirect and PubMed databases following the PRISMA method. A total of 13 international articles published between 2020 and 2024 were examined to synthesize the research objectives. The current findings include two articles analyzing the impact on body composition and physical aspects, six articles analyzing the impact on players' physiological and physical aspects, as well as other articles analyzing mental and technical, physiological and psychological, physical and motivational, tactical, and locomotor profile aspects. It is concluded that SSG, as part of training with a holistic approach, effectively improves the physical, technical, tactical, and mental components of soccer players. It is recommended for soccer coaches to implement this training model as it comprehensively enhances player performance according to the demands of official matches, and future researchers can use it as a preliminary study to develop training models in soccer.
