Abstract	The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a BATAK Pro™ training program in combination with regular sport-specific training as compared with sport-specific training alone on motor performance among young athletes. Twenty-two athletes (aged 11-16 years) were recruited and randomly assigned to either an active control group or BATAK training group. The BATAK training program consisted of 2-3 sets of 4-5 exercises, biweekly for 12-weeks. The assessment of motor performance included upper limb movement speed, agility, reactive agility, acceleration, sprinting, and Y-Balance test. Within-group analyses revealed performance increases in the 10-m sprint test (-2.6%), and in Y-Balance test variables, specifically in anterior direction (4.0-5.4%), posteromedial direction (6.6-8.0%) and in posterolateral direction (10.7-14.6%) in the BATAK group. This study reports for the first time that the use of LED lighting devices in addition to sport-specific training promotes increases in motor skills, particularly in dynamic stability. More studies are needed to confirm whether the training-induced benefits of this novel performance tool are significantly better as compared to other approaches, and whether these results can be translated into on-field performance outcomes, not only in terms of critical motor development but also in a meaningful increase of creative actions.
