The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of 4-week small-sided games (SSG) and high-intensity interval training with changes of direction (HIT-COD) on physical performance and specific technical skills in female collegiate basketball players.

Nineteen players were divided into SSG (n = 9) and HIT-COD (n = 10) groups, that performed either SSG or HIT-COD three times per week for 4 weeks during the pre-season. Players’ heart rate (HR) and perceived exertion responses (RPE) were assessed during the intervention. Before and after the intervention period, performances were assessed with 30-15 intermittent fitness test (30-15_IFT), repeated sprint ability (RSA) test, modified agility T-test (MAT), countermovement jump (CMJ), 20-m sprint, shooting accuracy test, 1 min shooting test, passing test, defensive movement test and control dribble test.

Both training interventions led to similar physiological and perceived exertion responses, showing no significant differences in HR (P = .49, d = 0.2) and RPE (P = .77, d = 0.1) between groups. Significant improvements were observed in 30-15_IFT (SSG: 4.1%, d = 1.5; HIT-COD: 4.2%, d = 1.7), RSA_mean (SSG: −2.2%, d = 1.0; HIT-COD: −1.9%, d = 1.0), RSA_best (SSG: −2.0%, d = 0.9; HIT-COD: −2.1%, d = 1.1), MAT (SSG: −7.2%, d = 1.7; HIT-COD: 5.7%, d = 1.5), defensive movement test (SSG: −5.1%, d = 2.1; HIT-COD: −5.8%, d = 1.8) and control dribble test (SSG: −3.4%, d = 1.0; HIT-COD: −2.6%, d = 1.0). The only significant group × time interaction was found (P = .032, ${\eta }_p^2$ = 0.24), with SSG improving 1 min shooting (22.4%, d = 1.0) and HIT-COD performing slightly worse (−2.6%, d = 0.1) after a 4-week intervention.

The current study suggests that using SSG is more effective than HIT-COD for female collegiate basketball players in pre-season, since SSG improves physical performance and basketball-specific movements as well as shooting abilities after a 4-week intervention.

该研究的目的是调查为期 4 周的小场比赛 (SSG) 和高强度间歇训练与方向变化 (HIT-COD) 对女大学生篮球运动员的身体表现和特定技术技能的影响。

19 名球员被分为 SSG (n = 9) 和 HIT-COD (n = 10) 组，在季前赛期间每周进行 3 次 SSG 或 HIT-COD，持续 4 周。在干预期间评估了球员的心率 (HR) 和感知的劳累反应 (RPE)。在干预期前后，通过30-15间歇性体能测试（30-15 _IFT）、重复冲刺能力（RSA）测试、改良敏捷性T测试（MAT）、反向跳跃（CMJ）、20米冲刺、投篮精准度测试、1分钟投篮测试、传球测试、防守动作测试和控制运球测试。

两种训练干预都导致了相似的生理和感知用力反应，显示组间 HR ( P  = .49, d  = 0.2) 和 RPE ( P  = .77, d  = 0.1)没有显着差异。在 30-15 _IFT中观察到显着改善（SSG：4.1%，d  = 1.5；HIT-COD：4.2%，d  = 1.7），RSA_平均值（SSG：-2.2%，d  = 1.0；HIT-COD：-1.9 %，d  = 1.0），RSA_最佳（SSG：-2.0%，d  = 0.9；HIT-COD：-2.1%，d  = 1.1），MAT（SSG：-7.2%，d  = 1.7；HIT-COD：5.7 %, d = 1.5)、防守运动测试（SSG：-5.1%，d  = 2.1；HIT-COD：-5.8%，d  = 1.8）和控制运球测试（SSG：-3.4%，d  = 1.0；HIT-COD：- 2.6%，d  = 1.0)。发现唯一显着的组×时间交互作用（P  = .032，${\eta }_{磷}^2$ = 0.24)， 在 4 周的干预后，SSG 提高了 1 分钟射击（22.4%，d  = 1.0）和 HIT-COD 表现稍差（-2.6%，d = 0.1）。

目前的研究表明，对于女大学生篮球运动员在季前赛中使用 SSG 比 HIT-COD 更有效，因为 SSG 在 4 周的干预后提高了身体表现和篮球特定的动作以及投篮能力。
