The main aim of our work is to test the efficiency of visual-spatial abilities (memory processes)
training through the multimedia simulation of soccer strikers under 23 years of age (N = 20; M age =20.85
years; SD =1.15), who have at least 5 years of experience (M experience=6.1 years; SD=1.11), and the
reflection of this process on soccer strikers' comprehension of the different offensive tactical situations. We
created a training program (experimental approach using the unique sample with pre- and post-testing design)
for soccer strikers, based on the theory of cognitive load that can provide guidelines to help present information
in a way that encourages the learner to activities that improve intellectual performance. The methodology
demonstrated a noticeable improvement in the player's visual-spatial abilities, and that helped the soccer striker
to improve his VSA perception, and the time of responsiveness on the different playing strategies that they had
practiced before. In addition to improving the psychomotor-sensory coordination in which visual-spatial
perception plays an essential role, by improving it, the player's performance develops at multiple levels
(cognitive, sensory, psychological, and executive performance).
