RT Journal Article T1 Game Space and Game Situation as Mediators of the External Load in the Tasks of School Handball A1 Feu Molina, Sebastián A1 García Ceberino, Juan Manuel A1 Gamero Portillo, María de Gracia A1 González Espinosa, Sergio A1 Antúnez Medina, Antonio AB The teacher’s didactic intervention also requires knowledge and control of learning tasks’workloads. The objectives of the study were as follows: (i) to quantify the subjective external load-eTLof tasks framed in didactic units designed by in-service teachers; and (ii) to analyze the differencesin the subjective eTL according to the game situation and the game space. A total of 306 learningtasks designed by seven in-service teachers (five men and two women), with more than 10 years ofteaching practice, were analyzed. These tasks were coded through the Integral System for TrainingTask Analysis (SIATE, acronym in Spanish). The interobserver reliability of the coded variablesobtained a considerable concordance (MKfree > 0.70). The results indicated that there were significantdifferences in the subjective eTL according to the game situation and game space. The situations ofsmall-sided games in numerical equality or inequality and full games, in medium spaces or largespaces, presented a higher subjective eTL and therefore the highest physiological and motor demandson students. The inclusion of attacking or defending players and an adequate selection of the gamespace indicated the importance of planning and organizing learning tasks.
