Abstrak

This study seeks to offer evidence-based recommendations for the implementation of balance exercises to enhance technical skills and motor competence in young football players. Approaches: The PRISMA statement was evaluated utilizing terms associated with Balance Exercise, Technical Skills, Motor Competence, and Youth Football Players. The subsequent four databases utilized are Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct. The study included participants aged 9 to 22 years from various nations and evaluated the efficacy of training for a duration of 6 to 20 weeks. The study's findings indicate that a comprehensive and cohesive training methodology, emphasizing physical fitness, technical proficiency, and psychological factors, is crucial for enhancing the performance of young football players. The use of balancing training and the modification of training programs according to developmental stages has shown to be effective in enhancing motor skills and abilities
