Summary

This study looked at 42 teenage soccer players to see how different training drills affect their fitness and enjoyment. Researchers compared three types of exercises: the standard Yo-Yo running test, a version where players dribble a ball, and small-sided games (like 3v3 or 4v4). The goal was to find out which method best improves endurance, power, and how much fun players have. Results help coaches choose drills that are both effective and enjoyable for young athletes.
