Abstract

Skill-based conditioning games can provide an effective means of simultaneously improving the skills and physical fitness levels of team sport athletes. Improvements in technical skills as a result of medium-term interventions of skill-based conditioning games may not be as great as those achieved from traditional instructional training sessions. Physical fitness levels can vary substantially across a team of athletes dependent upon factors such as the specific sport. This study highlights the difficulty in creating an optimal stimulus for each athlete when implementing skill-based conditioning games as a means of improving physical fitness.
