Abstract (English): This study evaluated the impact of the systematic practice of football fundamentals on improving motor coordination in 9 to 10-year-old children, using a training program applied during Physical Education classes. The objective was to investigate how specific football-based exercises, such as jumping, turning, ball control, and movement, influenced the development of essential motor skills such as agility, balance, and hand-eye coordination. An experimental design with a quantitative and longitudinal approach was employed, applying the 3JS Motor Coordination Test before and after the intervention. The results showed significant improvements in all areas assessed, especially in jumping, turning, throwing, ball striking, and slalom ball control. In the posttest, children showed notable progress in coordinating their movements, with a marked increase in the "very good" and "excellent" levels in agility and precision tests. These findings demonstrate that practicing football fundamentals is effective in improving motor coordination and highlight the importance of integrating football into the school curriculum, not only to improve physical skills but also to promote the overall development of students.

Abstract (Spanish): Este estudio evaluó el impacto de la práctica sistemática de los fundamentos del fútbol en la mejora de la coordinación motora en niños de 9 a 10 años, utilizando un programa de entrenamiento aplicado durante las clases de Educación Física. El objetivo fue investigar cómo ejercicios específicos basados en el fútbol, como saltos, giros, control de balón y desplazamientos, influían en el desarrollo de habilidades motrices esenciales como la agilidad, el equilibrio y la coordinación ojo-pie. Se empleó un diseño experimental con enfoque cuantitativo y de corte longitudinal, aplicando el Test de Coordinación Motriz 3JS antes y después de la intervención. Los resultados mostraron mejoras significativas en todas las áreas evaluadas, especialmente en salto, giro, lanzamiento, golpeo de balones y conducción de balón en slalom. En el postest, los niños mostraron avances notables en la coordinación de sus movimientos, destacando el aumento en los niveles de "muy bueno" y "excelente" en las pruebas de agilidad y precisión. Estos hallazgos demuestran que la práctica de los fundamentos del fútbol es eficaz para mejorar la coordinación motora y resalta la importancia de integrar el fútbol en el currículo escolar, no solo para mejorar las habilidades físicas, sino también para promover el desarrollo integral de los estudiantes.
