The effect of sport stacking on auditory and visual attention in 32 Grade 3 children was examined using a randomised, cross-over design. Children were randomly assigned to a sport stacking (n=16) or arts/crafts group (n=16) with these activities performed over 3 wk. (12 30-min. sessions, 4 per week). This was followed by a 3-wk. wash-out period after which there was a cross-over and the 3-wk. intervention repeated, with the sports stacking group performing arts/crafts and the arts/crafts group performing sports stacking. Performance on the Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test, a measure of auditory and visual attention, was assessed before and after each of the 3-wk. interventions for each group. Comparisons indicated that sport stacking resulted in significant improvement in high demand function and fine motor regulation, while it caused a significant reduction in low demand function. Auditory and visual attention adaptations to sport stacking may be specific to the high demand nature of the task.
采用随机交叉设计，研究了 32 名 3 年级儿童进行竞技叠杯运动对其视听注意力的影响。将儿童随机分配到竞技叠杯组（n=16）或艺术/手工艺组（n=16），每组进行 3 周的活动（每周 4 次，每次 30 分钟）。在 3 周的洗脱期后进行交叉，重复 3 周的干预，其中竞技叠杯组进行艺术/手工艺活动，艺术/手工艺组进行竞技叠杯运动。在每个组的 3 周干预前后，使用视听连续注意测试综合评估视听注意力，该测试可评估听觉和视觉注意力。结果表明，竞技叠杯运动可显著提高高需求功能和精细运动调节能力，同时显著降低低需求功能。竞技叠杯运动对听觉和视觉注意力的适应可能是特定于任务的高需求性质的。
