The Impact of an 8-Week Deliberate Practice Intervention on Coincidence Anticipation Timing and Long-Term Retention in Youth Female Volleyball Players.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesIn interceptive sports like volleyball, the ability to accurately time an action relative to a moving object (Coincidence Anticipation Timing-CAT) is critical. This study investigated the effects of a structured 8-week deliberate practice intervention on CAT accuracy and its long-term retention in young female athletes.
methodsThirty-two female volleyball players (aged 8-10 years) were randomly assigned to an Experimental Group (EG,
resultsANCOVA revealed a significant group-by-time interaction (
conclusionsTargeted deliberate practice effectively enhances temporal prediction accuracy in children, likely by facilitating a shift from reactive to predictive motor control. The robust retention of these skills underscores the significant neuroplasticity of the 8-10 age window, suggesting that early foundational timing interventions provide long-lasting benefits for athletic development.
