摘要：Emotional intelligence, as a psychological factor influences the evaluation of specific situations occurring during the exercise and the effective decision making related to them. Thus, the present study was conducted to compare the effect of different soccer trainings on the emotional intelligence of the young football players Twenty-two young male football players with a mean age of 14.5 years old were divided into two groups (11players per each group) (the group trained with traditional games and the group trained with small-sided games) to participate in 18 training sessions appropriate to their group. Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (Bradberry & Greaves, 2003) was used to measure emotional intelligence in the pretest and posttest. The results of ANCOVA showed no significant difference between the two groups, but the results of the dependent t-test showed a significant difference in the post-test compared to the pretest in the experimental group. Results of this study showed that exercise training improves emotional intelligence in the football players, but small-sided games further facilitate this, due to their nature.
