The main objective of the study was the analysis of the external (covered distance) and internal loads (heart rate) of the handball players in the small sided games (SSG) with different numbers of players and with the "floater player" on the field. A partial aim of the study was to find out what the differences are loads of players between the small sided games with different numbers of players on the playing area. Thirteen players from an elite women's handball team from the Czech Republic participated in this study (22,8 ± 4,5 years, 170,4 ± 6,4 cm, 67,7 ± 9,2 kg). Players were the highest heart rate of 179,2 ± 9,7 (90,1 ± 4,5 % HRmax) respectively 178,6 ± 9,1 (90,3 ± 4,9 % HRmax) beats min-1 in small sided games 3 vs. 3 respectively 4proti4 with floater player. The lowest estimate of the players was in the subjective perception of load (RPE) at small sided games with floater 5proti5 and compared with other small sided games with floater 3 vs. 3 respectively. 4 vs. 4 difference was statistically significant (p = 0,04, respectively p = 0,03). The greatest covered distance players were in the 3 vs. 3 resp. 4 vs. 4 (499,7 ± 39,7, respectively 503,3 ± 37,8 meters). It was not statistically significant differences between small sided games. The significant difference was only in the covered distance in the speed category jogging in small sided games 3 vs. 3 (210,2 ± 38,6 meters) and 5 vs. 5 (168,6 ± 34,6 m) (p = 0,02). Reducing the number of players on the playing area during the small sided games with the floater reduced the number of passes but increased the number of shots and dribbling.

Keywords: small sided games; sports games; subjective perception of load; heart rate; covered distance; speed
