Effects of IM Training on Soccer-Skill Performance in a Sample of Female Elite Soccer Players

This webinar is based on a large study on elite female soccer players, investigating the effects of timing-training (IM) on soccer-specific skills. It will have emphasis on the effects of IM training on the performance of a number of soccer-specific skills (cross-pass, shot for goal and heading), but will also address some of the customized IM-exercises used, and the reasoning behind the choice of these specific exercises.

Moreover, the webinar will include some preliminary analyses of brain activation patterns (fMRI) before and after IM training. Here, we have investigated if the internal / cognitive representations of an observed action may change as an effect of IM training.
