APPLICABLE REMARKS
  • Coaches should incorporate Neurobics exercises into regular training sessions to stimulate underutilized neural pathways, particularly for movements involving the non-preferred foot. This approach improves bilateral coordination, technical skill execution, and motor satisfaction.
  • Implementing Neurobics exercises can help reduce performance imbalances between dominant and non-dominant sides, leading to more adaptable and confident players during high-pressure situations.
  • Training programs for youth athletes should emphasize non-preferred foot activities supported by cognitive engagement. This dual-task method enhances motor planning and execution, as supported by the significant improvements observed in passing and shooting accuracy.
  • Sports science practitioners are encouraged to assess athletes' brain dominance before designing individualized Neurobics routines, optimizing their effectiveness, and ensuring targeted skill development.
  • These exercises are particularly relevant to team sports, such as football, where decision-making and precision using both limbs are crucial for competitive success.
  • Ultimately, the Neurobics protocol employed in this study can serve as a model for developing training interventions for other age groups and sports that require high-level neuromuscular coordination.
