Lu, M., Zhai, Y., Peng, H., Cao, J., Yang, Y., Chen, L. “…Methods Thirty male soccer players (aged 18-22 years) were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (SVT + balance training, n = 15) or a control group (traditional training, n = 15). Balance assessments were conducted pre- and post-intervention using the Stork Stand Balance Test (SSBT), Static Single Stance Test (ST), Y-Balance Test (YBT), Sensory Organization Test (SOT), Motor Control Test (MCT), and Adaptation Test (ADT). …”

Dolata, M., Zwierko, T., Bojkowski, L., Moran, B., Sliwowski, R. “…While motor and technical skills are typically assessed through field-based soccer tests, cognitive skills are usually evaluated in controlled laboratory environments. …”

Wang, H., Zhang, H., Li, X., Zhu, J. “…Objective: This study aims to investigate the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on the neuromuscular control of penalty kicks in soccer players. It also analyzes the relationship between neuromuscular control and the stability of motor performance following the intervention.…”

Li, D., Elbanna, H., Lin, F.-Y., Lu, C.-J., Chen, L.-J., Lu, G., Yu, C.-L., Wang, K. P. “…However, further investigation is needed to determine whether lower activation of the prefrontal and central cortices, which are associated with motor programming, such as motor planning and motor control, corresponds to higher degrees of psychomotor performance in a difficult task. …”

Khraibet, R. M. “…Introduction: Neuromotor exercises, which enhance motor control and muscular coordination, play a crucial role in optimizing the performance of soccer players, particularly in skills such as passing and dribbling. …”

Yin, J., Gao, S., Zhang, M., Xu, G., Xu, K., He, X., Wang, Y., Li, Z., Shao, B. “…The activation values in all brain regions (except left primary sensory cortex in the single task), right DLPFC (dual task), and left premotor cortex & left supplementary motor area (left PMC & left SMA, digit task) were significantly lower in the athlete group than in the control group. …”

Bastiere, J., Lussiana, T., Patoz, A., Gindre, C., Mourot, L. “…Primitive reflexes (PRs) are involuntary motor responses present at birth, typically replaced by voluntary motor control during development. …”

Pajonková, F., Lenková, R., Sucka, J., Vašková, M. “…Neuromuscular warm-up positively affects motor abilities and muscle performance. The purpose of the study was to extend the knowledge about the effect of neuromuscular warm-up on the level of muscle contractility in female football players. …”

Meha, R., Obërtinca, R., aus der Fünten, K., Leisge, K., Schaefer, S. “…The youth football injury prevention program `FUNBALL` contains exercises requiring high cognitive demands, which are performed concurrently to the training of the respective motor task. This study evaluates whether the program increases cognitive performances of young football players. 1253 football players (aged 13-19 years old) were randomly assigned to either a control (CON) or an intervention (INT) group. …”

Abramova, T. F., Nikitina, T. M., Polfuntikova, A. V., Yakutovich, N. M. “…The greatest difference between athletes and untrained children is inherent in cognitive development, which reflects the leading role of consciousness in the development of skills of various properties and characteristics of learning. Motor and psychomotor abilities, which differ in the manifestation of the strength of the nervous system and the quality of coordination, are consistent with the priority of the importance of the development of movement control structures in accordance with the characteristics of motor activity and learning. …”

Lee, T. L., Ko, D. K., Kang, N. “…Purpose This study is aimed to determine specific bilateral lower extremity motor performances and coordination patterns in soccer players with healthy controls using the bilateral force control paradigm. …”

Praça, G. M., de Almeida Oliveira, P. H., Santos Resende, V. H. “…Participants were 72 players from U-13 (n = 36) and U-17 (n = 36) groups who participated in 3-to-a-side small-sided games under four experimental conditions: control, a secondary motor task, an additional related secondary cognitive task, and an additional secondary non-specific task. …”

Tseng, P. H., Hsieh, W. L., Tung, P. C., Moreau, D., Kao, S. C., Wang, C. H. “…The relationship between these variables was analyzed using the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, controlling for age, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. …”

Friebe, D., Giesche, F., Both, H., Haser, C., Pfab, F., Sieland, J., Wilke, J., Banzer, W. “…INTRODUCTION: In football, athletes are required to quickly adapt their motor actions to the dynamics on the field. Previous studies have shown that athletic high-speed tasks (e.g., cutting or landing) involving either divided attention or time-constrained decision-making result in aberrant move-ment biomechanics associated with an increased risk for lower limb injuries. …”

Leite Portella, D., Jatene, P., Da Silva, A. O., dos Santos, G. S., Monteiro, D., Teixeira, J. E., Branquinho, L., Ferraz, R., Forte, P. “…Introduction: The application of muscle force is a determinant of football success as it is inherent to the motor control and sport. The aims of this study are: (1) to describe force variables Isometric Maximal Force (IMF), Concentric Peak Force (CPPF), and Dynamic Strength Index (DSI) in football goalkeepers from different age groups; (2) to compare these variables` behavior between those groups. …”

Vouras, I., Chatzinikolaou, K., Sotirakis, C., Metaxas, T., Hatzitaki, V. “…Postural adjustments performed in anticipation of uncertain visual events is a common sensorimotor control problem in open sport skills. In this study, we examined how expert soccer goalkeepers and non-athletes learn a whole body visuomotor rotation during postural tracking of constant and variable visual target motions. …”

Bekris, E., Gioldasis, A., Souglis, A., Zacharakis, E., Smirniotou, A. “…This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative training protocol based on visual exercises in improving soccer-specifc motor skills of U12 soccer players. Thirty young male soccer players participated in the study and were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Technique Group (T-G), Visual-Technique Group (VT-G), and Control Group (C-G). …”
