The Effect Of Cognitive Training On Sportıve Performance

The Effect Of Cognıtıve-Based Neuromuscular Exercıses On Cognıtıve Functıons And Sportıve Performance In Football Players

The aim of this study is to examine the changes in cognitive performance, coordination, anticipation time, proprioception and pass quality of cognitive-based neuromuscular exercises.

The investigators think that with cognitive-based neuromuscular exercises to be applied to football players, concentration, reflexes, balance, coordination, anticipation time, proprioception and pass quality can be improved. Within the scope of the investigators' study,the investigators think that the positive effects of cognitive-based neuromuscular exercises on executive functions can positively affect athlete performance by contributing to rapid thinking, planning and implementation. In this way, footballers will be able to reach high performances on the field and will become more qualified athletes. In addition, it is predicted that the incidence of injuries in athletes will be minimized by improving the parameters such as anticipation time, balance, coordination, reaction time, and proprioception. If the effectiveness of the exercises is proven, it is aimed to contribute to the literature with objective and evidence-based results in order to include cognitive-based exercises in training programs, which are often overlooked in football training programs.
