abstract={Soccer performance in youth players arises from a complex interaction of anthropometric, physiological, technical, and maturational factors. However, most studies emphasize correlation analyses, offering limited insight into causal mechanisms that shape athletic development and physical performance. This study aimed to identify causal pathways underlying potential targets for practical intervention in male youth soccer players.},
