Introduction: The study aimed to analyze the effects of training with games on reduced fields on the maximum oxygen consumption, agility, and focused attention in soccer players. Methods: For primary and quantitative research, the sample consisted of 10 male athletes, 16.4 ± 1.5 years old, from a field soccer team. Maximum oxygen uptake was obtained through the Cooper 12-minute run test. To measure agility, the test Little and Williams was used, and to assess the concentrated attention, the Concentrated Attention (CA) test was adopted. The small-sided game training program lasted 12 weeks. The tests were carried out in the first and last week of the research. The level of significance established for all situations was p < 0.05. Results: There was an improvement in oxygen consumption (p = 0.012), in agility with ball (p = 0.0001), in agility without ball (p = 0.003), and in concentrated attention (p < 0.001) after the small-sided game training program. Conclusion: Training with small-sided games can positively influence maximum oxygen consumption, agility, and focused attention.
