In the TG group, all TTCT indices showed significant improvement in all indices at the post-test compared to pre-test (-29.90%-227.27%, d: 1.03-4.66 [large]).

These findings suggest a promising direction for youth soccer training, focusing on developing well-rounded players capable of intelligent and flexible gameplay in diverse scenarios.
