The College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Baghdad discussed a master’s thesis by Mohammed Qasim Fadhil entitled “The Effect of Special Exercises Based on Visual Scanning on Motor Response and Selected Fundamental Skills in Under-16 Football Players.”
The study aimed to investigate the impact of visual-scanning exercises on developing motor response and essential football skills, including passing, dribbling, and shooting, among under-16 players. The research highlights the importance of visual scanning in modern football, where players must quickly perceive changing situations and make effective decisions under time pressure.
The findings showed that incorporating visual-scanning exercises into training programs significantly improves both skill performance and perceptual abilities in young football players. The researcher recommended integrating such exercises into training curricula across different age groups, particularly at early developmental stages.
