| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to examine the usage of choice reaction time (CRT) as a predictor of talent identification. In addition, we investigated the influence of biological maturation on the development of CRT. Our findings suggest that adolescent soccer players with faster CRT are likely to have more successful careers in soccer.
On the other hand, no remarkable development of CRT was recognized during adolescence. Because of this developmental characteristic of CRT, biological maturation had a significant influence on the development of CRT during childhood; we could not find this relation in adolescent soccer players.
