• Resumen

  • : Attention is a fundamental element for players to be able to respond quickly and correctly to diverse demands related to the technical and tactical decision-making processes, with or without the presence of the ball (HICHEUR et al., 2017). Cognitive abilities are fundamental for the athlete progression during the sports training process, mainly during the development of the athlete until the adult category.

    The objective of this study was to compare the attention level between young football players in different ages. Our hypothesis is that more experienced athletes perform better in the attention task.
