First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how two types of small-sided soccer games affect a brain chemical called BDNF and thinking skills in 32 semi-professional male players. One game allowed free play, while the other limited players to two touches on the ball. Researchers measured BDNF, lactate, and cognitive performance before and after each session to see if the rules made a difference.
