Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to examine the changes in cognitive performance, coordination, anticipation time, proprioception and pass quality of cognitive-based neuromuscular exercises.
Detailed Description
The investigators think that with cognitive-based neuromuscular exercises to be applied to football players, concentration, reflexes, balance, coordination, anticipation time, proprioception and pass quality can be improved. Within the scope of the investigators' study,the investigators think that the positive effects of cognitive-based neuromuscular exercises on executive functions can positively affect athlete performance by contributing to rapid thinking, planning and implementation. In this way, footballers will be able to reach high performances on the field and will become more qualified athletes. In addition, it is predicted that the incidence of injuries in athletes will be minimized by improving the parameters such as anticipation time, balance, coordination, reaction time, and proprioception. If the effectiveness of the exercises is proven, it is aimed to contribute to the literature with objective and evidence-based results in order to include cognitive-based exercises in training programs, which are often overlooked in football training programs.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Cognitive performance
Time Frame: Change from baseline score at the end of 8 week
Lumosity is a cognitive training platform developed by containing the results of more than 600 million cognitive training tests from more than 35 million people, which contains the largest data set of human cognitive performance available, either web-based or accessible from a mobile phone application. One test selected for each parameter will be applied and evaluated from the tests that include 6 parameters, namely speed, memory, attention, cognitive flexibility, problem solving and mathematics, in cognitive functions through this program on the computer. Each test will be applied to the participants for the first 2 times to practice, and for the next 3 times to be used as a test score. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
