Game-based training: used to improve skill & physical fitness of team sport athletes. It is thought that the use of games in training improves performance because the physiological demands match the demands of the sport (competition pressure & fatigue) Specific training stimulus matches the overall demands of team-sport. Recent studies show that it may not always meet the high-intensity demands of competition.
