Corrective effects of different training options on development and maturation of professional motor skills from dominant and non-dominant legs of young soccer players

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the different options of special technical training on development of motor skills in effective performance of dominant and non-dominant legs of young footballers. 47 volunteer male soccer players (13 years of age) from three soccer teams participated in the study. Young athletes were divided into two experimental (E1 and E2) and one control (C) groups. There were no significant difference between individuals. Investigation was carried out for 1 year - 3 days per week. The participants were tested three times. Each training session included different training modes of specific corrective exercises. In the end of the experiment significant differences between dominant and non dominant legs in experimental and control groups were seen. This fact may indicate that an adolescent have some potential for future maturation of the manipulative skills from non dominant leg in terms of development of more expressive bilateral behavior.
