ABSTRACT

In order to evaluate the impact of functional laterality on motor performance and visual exploration in football among secondary school students in Congo-Brazzaville, 1734 boys of mean age 13.6 ± 0.9 years were recruited. They were subjected to a learning cycle with 9 lessons. Motor tasks were juggling balls, passing, and shooting. Visual exploration consisted of placing the ball on a viewing and unobserved landscape of a playground. Our results suggest that the learning cycle revealed an improvement in perceptual-motor tasks throughout training. Our data allow us to conclude that the strategies proposed are developed in a way that is consistent with the aim pursued.
