Table 1.
Comparison of physiological variables and rating of perceived exertion(RPE) between small-sided games with verbal coach encouragement (SSGE) and small-sided games without verbal coach encouragement (SSGNE).
| Variables | SSGE | SSGNE | CI95% | ES | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| %HRmax (beat.min−1) | 88.06 ± 2.25 | 84.31 ± 2.24 *** | −4.39, −3.10 | 1.73 | Large |
| [la]b (mmol.l−1) | 4.43 ± 0.91 | 3.62 ± 0.6 *** | −1.12, −0.50 | 1.01 | Large |
| RPE | 7.62 ± 0.79 | 6.62 ± 0.81 *** | 0.66, 1.33 | 1.69 | Large |
%HRmax: percentage of maximal heart rate; [La]b: blood lactate concentration; RPE: rating of perceived exertion; CI95%, confidence interval of the differences; ES: effect size *** p<0.001.
