### Independent Comparative Statistical Analysis  
The comparative analysis between the experimental group and the control group, after final tests, for the beep test, 20 m sprint, Illinois agility test and short dribbling test parameters shows statistically significant progress in favor of the experimental group (respectively: \(p\) < 0.0005, \(p\) < 0.025, \(p\) < 0.0005 and \(p\) < 0.005). We note for the 10 m sprint, that there was no difference between the average values of the two groups (\(p\) > 0.05) and an explanation for this could be, that over short distances which are characteristic of SSGs, players cannot develop high running speeds (Table 5).
