U15 PROGRAMME
Eight weeks of cognition-to-action training.
Across the reported U15 programme, SIMUST measures showed improvement in scanning, decision quality and action time.

U15Match-transfer case studyMATCH BEHAVIOUR
Training measures connected to observable football behaviour.
After the eight-week programme, the group recorded more match scans and a greater proportion of passes preceded by a scan.
MATCH SCANNING178 scansUp from 150 · +28 scans · +18.7%
PASSES PRECEDED BY A SCAN55% of passesUp from 42% · +13 percentage points
Cohort: AS Trenčín U15 · Duration: 8 weeks · Sample: n=15. Results relate to this reported group and should not be treated as a guarantee for every player or programme.
“SIMUST has the potential to transform how we understand, train and develop the football brain.”
AS TRENČÍN · T-12 IN PRACTICE
The development environment in action.
AS Trenčín players train scanning, perception and cognition-to-action behaviour inside the SIMUST T-12 environment.
CONFIRMED CLUB USEFirst team + youth academySIMUST is now integrated as hybrid training across both environments.

SEPARATE U19 PROGRAMME
Four months.
Three performance ranges.
This longer programme involved a separate U19 group and should be read independently from the eight-week AS Trenčín U15 case study above. Each percentage shows the reported range of improvement across that group.
Cohort: U19 · Duration: 4 months. Sample size was not stated in the reported summary. Ranges reflect variation within this separate programme; full protocol, baseline definitions and limitations should accompany formal publication.
