Abstract
The knowledge about the acute effects and adaptations that result from the small-sided and conditioned games (SSCG) may help the training periodization, particularly considering the weekly microperiodization. This chapter will summarize the physiological, physical, technical, and tactical effects of different task conditions. After that, a set of methodological considerations will be provided to help the coaches to identify the best periods of the week to apply specific SSCG. Finally, a proposal of weekly microcycle will be provided trying to help the coaches to identify the applicability of the scientific findings about these games in the practical context of the training.
