Instead, more focus has been directed towards the importance of cognitive abilities, and it has been suggested that executive functions (EF) are fundamentally important for success in soccer. However, executive functions are going through a steep

Aim Research suggested a positive association between physical fitness and neurocognitive functioning in children. Aim of the present study is to investigate possible dose-response relationships between diverse daily physical activities and a broad range of neurocognitive functions in preadolescent children. Furthermore, the relationship between several sedentary behaviours, including TV-watching, gaming

Objectives The ability to perform a context-free 3-dimensional multiple object tracking (3D-MOT) task has been highly related to athletic performance. In the present study, we assessed the transferability of a perceptual-cognitive 3D-MOT training from a laboratory setting to a soccer field, a sport in which the capacity to correctly read

Quali e quante siano esattamente le Funzioni Attentive Esecutive (FAE)1 non è possibile sostenerlo nemmeno facendo riferimento alla letteratura. Ci soffermeremo quindi sulle fondamentali, come rilevato da Miyake et al. (2000), e su quanto rinvenuto a conferma o a completamento dalla neurofisiologia lesionale. In generale, per Funzioni Attentive Esecutive intendiamo
