Effects of Neuro-Athletic Training on Goalkeeper Performance
Sponsor: Coşkun YILMAZ
Summary
This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of an 8-week neuro-athletic training (NAT) program on dynamic balance, explosive strength, grip strength, and agility in elite soccer goalkeepers. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving NAT in addition to regular training or a control group continuing standard training. Pre- and post-intervention performance assessments were conducted to determine the effectiveness of the intervention.

Interventions
Neuro-Athletic Training Group
Participants completed an 8-week neuro-athletic training program in addition to regular football training. The program was performed twice weekly (\~20 minutes/session) and included visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive exercises (Brock string, pinhole glasses, Marsden ball). Training intensity and complexity were progressively increased across four phases.
control group
Participants continued their regular football training without additional neuro-athletic training.
