“…Within these seven studies, two interventions only included deliberate technical drill practices (Weigelt et al, 2000 ; Montesano and Mazzeo, 2019 ). Others applied drill-based practices with subsequent game-based situations (e.g., Holt et al, 2012 ; Miranda et al, 2013 ) or combined it with coordination exercises (Boraczyński et al, 2019 ; Kösal et al, 2020 ).…”

Perceptual-Motor and Perceptual-Cognitive Skill Acquisition in Soccer: A Systematic Review on the Influence of Practice Design and Coaching Behavior

Facilitating players' skill acquisition is a major challenge within sport coaches' work which should be supported by evidence-based recommendations outlining the most effective practice and coaching methods. This systematic review aimed at accumulating empirical knowledge on the influence of practice design and coaching behavior on perceptual-motor and perceptual-cognitive skill acquisition in soccer. A systematic search was carried out according to the PRISMA guidelines across the databases SPORTDiscus, PsycInfo, MEDLINE, and Web of Science to identify soccer-specific intervention studies conducted in applied experimental settings (search date: 22nd November 2020). The systematic search yielded 8,295 distinct hits which underwent an independent screening process. Finally, 34 eligible articles, comprising of 35 individual studies, were identified and reviewed regarding their theoretical frameworks, methodological approaches and quality, as well as the interventions' effectiveness. These studies were classified into the following two groups: Eighteen studies investigated the theory-driven instructional approaches Differential Learning, Teaching Games for Understanding, and Non-linear Pedagogy. Another seventeen studies, most of them not grounded within a theoretical framework, examined specific aspects of practice task design or coaches' instructions. The Downs and Black checklist and the Template for Intervention Description and Replication were applied to assess the quality in reporting, risk of bias, and the quality of interventions' description. Based on these assessments, the included research was of moderate quality, however, with large differences across individual studies. The quantitative synthesis of results revealed empirical support for the effectiveness of coaching methodologies aiming at encouraging players' self-exploration within representative scenarios to promote technical and tactical skills. Nevertheless, “traditional” repetition-based approaches also achieved improvements with respect to players' technical outcomes, yet, their impact on match-play performance remains widely unexplored. In the light of the large methodological heterogeneity of the included studies (e.g., outcomes or control groups' practice activities), the presented results need to be interpreted by taking the respective intervention characteristics into account. Overall, the current evidence needs to be extended by theory-driven, high-quality studies within controlled experimental designs to allow more consolidated and evidence-based recommendations for coaches' work.

“…In addition, if players turn their heads more often, they can perceive approaching opponent players earlier and minimize the risk of having their passes intercepted. However, not only scanning, but also technical, physical, and coordinative skills seem to be relevant for the passing behavior (Kösal, Gül et al, 2020). Furthermore, psychological factors, like anxiety or mental fatigue, are possibly related to scanning and consequently, the success of the subsequent action (Coutinho et al, 2017;Nieuwenhuys et al, 2008;Williams et al, 2004Williams et al, , 2011.…”

The purpose of this study was to develop and test models of scanning activity in football. Gibson’s ecological approach of visual perception and exploratory activity provided the theoretical framework for the models. The video-based data analysis consisted of 17 selected matches and 239 players of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) U17 and U19 European Championship 2018 and the UEFA U17 and U21 European Championship 2019. The results showed a positive relation between scanning frequency and successful passes, as well as changes in body orientation. Scanning frequency was also related to a player’s appearances in national teams and to opponent pressure. Opponent pressure had a large effect on pass result and the player’s body orientation. Previous research on the relation between scanning frequency and performance was extended by several contextual predictors. Future research should focus on gaining a deeper understanding of the relation between scanning frequency and further contextual variables related to scanning.

“…In Germany, Schedler et al, (2020) showed that balance training can improve the body stability of young soccer players. Finally, in Turkey, Köksal et al, (2021) found that coordination training can enhance the ability of young soccer players to coordinate their body movements. However, these studies tend to focus more on the development of individual SABC aspects.…”

Structured and effective physical training is the primary key to unlocking their full potential on the field. SABC can help young football players improve their reaction speed to on-field situations, enhance ball control with greater accuracy and effectiveness, and make more precise and timely passing decisions. Furthermore, it helps improve the ability to create goal-scoring opportunities and enhance high-speed running and dribbling skills, enabling them to attack the opponent's defense more effectively. This research aimed to design an integrated training program focused on Speed, Agility, Balance, and Coordination. The study's respondents consisted of 30 young football players aged 15.5 ± 0.5 years. The experimental training program was conducted twice a week for 12 weeks, with initial and final measurements taken. This training included various exercises focused on Speed, Agility, Balance, and Coordination. The data analysis results indicated that the SABC training had a significantly positive impact on player skill improvement. The discussion concludes that a holistic approach to football training, considering Speed, Agility, Balance, and Coordination, is an effective approach to enhancing the quality of young football players. This training program helps develop more comprehensive and high-quality players in various aspects of the game. The findings of this research have important practical implications for coaches, football organizations, and young players looking to improve their SABC skills. In future research, there may be room to further understand the role of each aspect of SABC in improving the performance of young football players. Keywords: Performance improvement; Speed; Agility; Balance; Coordination.
