Abstract: Objectives: The aim of the present study is to examine the developmental trajectory of 3D-MOT performance in young soccer players, and to investigate the age-related 3D-MOT performance training effect. Methods: First, Experiment 1 assessed 3D-MOT performance of 404 male soccer players aged 12–18 years. Then, 127 athletes in Experiment 1 aged 13, 15, and 17 were selected as participants in Experiment 2, randomly assigned to intervention group and the control group. The intervention group but not the control group received 15 sessions of 3D-MOT training (3 sessions per day for 20 minutes for 5 days). Subsequently, post-test of 3D-MOT performance was conducted on the two groups. Results: Experiment 1 showed that there was a significant main effect of age on the peak speed (p
