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

Executive functions might be important for successful performance in sports, particularly in team sports requiring quick anticipation and adaptation to continuously changing situations in the field. The executive functions motor inhibition, attention and visuospatial working memory were examined in highly talented soccer players. Eighty-four highly talented youth soccer players (mean

While the importance of physical abilities and motor coordination is non-contested in sport, more focus has recently been turned toward cognitive processes important for different sports. However, this line of studies has often investigated sport-specific cognitive traits, while few studies have focused on general cognitive traits. We explored if measures

The visual search characteristics of 15 expert and 16 novice badminton players were recorded as they performed a test of anticipatory cue usage. Experts were able to pick up earlier advance information than novices.
