Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of 12 weeks of warm-up protocols administered to elite soccer players on technical-coordination performance and levels of cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine, measured before and after the intervention.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The warm-up protocols included coordination exercises using different types of balls, with combined activities involving both the upper and lower limbs
