Participants were 16 novice male players aged between 11 and 15 years with no competitive experience. A total of 13 games were played, comprising nine SSG formats with numerical equality, superiority, and inferiority, in two court sizes: a full court (FC) and a half court (HC). In SSGs played in the FC, pass efficacy was significantly higher (p &lt; 0.05) in 5 vs. 4 and 4 vs. 3 formats, while dribble efficacy was significantly higher (p &lt; 0.05) in the 2 vs. 1 HC format. The 3 vs. 3 FC format showed greater (p &lt; 0.05) shot efficacy. Reception efficacy was significantly higher (p &lt; 0.05) in the 2 vs. 1 HC format, as well as rebound efficacy. However, appropriate passes were significantly lower (p &lt; 0.05) in the 4 vs. 3 FC format. Dribble efficacy was significantly greater (p &lt; 0.05) in the 2 vs. 1 HC format and appropriate shots were significantly greater (p &lt; 0.05) in the 2 vs. 1 HC format. Regarding defensive and offensive technical-tactical actions, the 3 vs. 3 HC format presented significantly higher values (p &lt; 0.05) of support, while ball marking was significantly greater (p &lt; 0.05) in the 3 vs. 2 HC format. In conclusion, this study indicates that smaller (balanced and unbalanced) SSG formats tend to enhance the frequency, effectiveness, and appropriateness of attacking and defensive behaviors, particularly those involving direct actions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5114\/jhk\/190400","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,23]],"date-time":"2024-12-23T13:48:47Z","timestamp":1734961727000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Exploring the Effects of Players\u2019 Numbers and Court Size \non Tactical-Technical Performance Analysis of Novice Players \nin Basketball Small-Sided Games"],"prefix":"10.5114","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5268-8500","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Walber Jose Figueiredo","family":"de Souza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Filipe","family":"Clemente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9057-4096","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuel da Silva","family":"Aguiar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5223-0682","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Larissa","family":"Pittner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5444-4163","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Erivaldo Machado","family":"Ara\u00fajo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2614-9714","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matheus de Souza","family":"Rocha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6149-6044","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francielli Evelin Lopes","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1772-1272","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ana Filipa","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0545-164X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Henrique de Oliveira","family":"Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"3061","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-1308446","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19052931"},{"key":"ref-1308447","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5114\/biolsport.2020.93038"},{"key":"ref-1308448","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/17479541211053638"},{"key":"ref-1308449","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/17479541221112076"},{"key":"ref-1308450","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0031512517725445"},{"key":"ref-1308451","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/24748668.2014.11868759"},{"key":"ref-1308452","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5114\/biolsport.2022.109960"},{"key":"ref-1308453","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0247067"},{"key":"ref-1308454","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5114\/biolsport.2022.107016"},{"key":"ref-1308455","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Clemente, F.
