Sumario: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of three different scoring methods and two different
field sizes on the physical performance demands and spatial occupancy dynamics during small-sided
games among professional soccer players. Thirteen players (age 23.1 ± 4.0) were non-randomly
selected. Small-sided games were conducted in 6vs6 formats (or GK+6vs6+GK) using three scoring
methods (Ball Possession, Progression to the Zone, and Progression with GK) on two different field
sizes (small: 58.6m2 per player; large: 131.2m2 per player). Data on both physical demands and spatial
occupancy dynamics were obtained using GPS Vector S7 devices (10 Hz). The main results showed
that games played on large fields were associated with higher both physical demands (total distance,
FMP High and Medium Running Duration, moderate-speed running, and high-speed running) and
spatial occupancy (spatial exploration index, displacements on the x-axis, displacements on the y-axis,
and major range). Ball Possession games were also associated with higher PlayerLoad demands, total
distance, and moderate-speed running compared to Progression to End Zone and Progression with GK.
Additionally, Ball Possession games showed higher values for FMP High Dynamic Duration, number
of explosive efforts, and high deceleration distance than Progression to Target Zone games, as well as
higher values of RHIE and FMP Medium Running Duration than Progression with GK games, while
Progression to End Zone games had higher values of high-speed running than Ball Possession games.
Furthermore, both Ball Possession and Progression to End Zone games recorded higher values for
displacements in both the x-axis and y-axis in comparison with the Progression with GK games, while
Possession games had higher demands for spatial exploration index and major range than the other
scoring methods. Information on how the manipulation of these constraints affects the demands of
small-sided games can be useful for prescribing soccer-specific training and conditioning programs.
