Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of differences in the amount of activity between small-sided games of soccer played with and without walls. Twenty-four fifth graders at a public elementary school in Japan were asked to play a soccer game with a wall and one without a wall, respectively. The court size for both games was 20 x 10 m, the number of players was 3 vs. 3, and the game duration was 3 min. An accelerometer (OMRON, HJA-750C) was attached to the waist of each player to measure the duration of moderate to vigorous physical activity.<br>  The main findings were as follows.<br>  (1) The proportions of moderate to vigorous physical activity in the games with and without walls were 94.9% and 90.7%, respectively, both of which exceeded 90%.<br>  (2) Regardless of physical fitness level, games with walls led to longer periods of vigorous intensity activity and moderate intensity activity than games without walls.<br>  These results suggest that, regardless of children's physical fitness level, soccer games with walls encourage more vigorous intensity activity than games without walls.
