ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Neuromotor exercises, which enhance motor control and muscular coordination, play a crucial role in optimizing the performance of soccer players, particularly in skills such as passing and dribbling. These exercises are designed to improve neuromuscular fitness that is vital for executing complex movements with precision and agility on a soccer field.

Aim of the study:
This research seeks to determine the practical impact of neuromuscular control exercises on improving soccer-specific technical abilities that are crucial to competitive soccer performance.

Material and methods:
Employing an experimental design with pre- and post-assessments, the study included 30 youth national team players, divided into experimental and control groups. Over a 12-week period, the experimental group engaged in neuromuscular control exercises, focusing on passing accuracy, agility, and dribbling skills.

Results:
The experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in neuromuscular function and soccer-specific skills compared to the control group that followed traditional training methods.

Conclusions:
Neuromuscular control exercises significantly enhance the physical, cognitive, and technical development of youth soccer players. The findings support the integration of these exercises into training regimens to optimize performance and development in competitive youth soccer.
