Maturation-Specific Effects of a Technique-Focused Kicking Intervention in Elite Youth Football Players

This repository contains the anonymised participant-level dataset, MATLAB analysis code, and README/data dictionary supporting the statistical analyses reported in the manuscript “Maturation-Specific Effects of a Technique-Focused Kicking Intervention in Elite Youth Football Players”. The dataset includes pre- and post-intervention outcomes for elite youth academy football players, grouped according to estimated maturation status as before- or after-peak height velocity. Outcomes include maximal ball speed, mean kicking accuracy, and error ellipse variables describing endpoint dispersion. Raw trial-level data and potentially identifiable participant information are not included because the participants were youth academy players and the data are subject to privacy and GDPR-related restrictions.本仓库包含经匿名化处理的受试者个体水平数据集、MATLAB分析代码，以及支撑论文《精英青年足球运动员技术导向型踢球干预的成熟度特异性效应》中统计分析的README文档与数据字典。该数据集涵盖精英青年足球青训营球员干预前后的各项结局指标，并依据预估成熟状态分为身高速度峰值前与身高速度峰值后两组。结局指标包括最大球速、平均踢球准确率，以及用于描述端点离散程度的误差椭圆变量。由于受试者为青年青训营球员，且相关数据受隐私法规与通用数据保护条例（GDPR）限制，本仓库未包含原始试次水平数据以及可识别受试者身份的个人信息。
