To investigate whether athletes who engage in different modes of sports training correspondingly exhibit different patterns of performance on general cognition tasks.
Sixty participants were recruited into an endurance, motorically complex, or control group, and were administered a series of physical tests and neuropsychological assessments.
Athletes in the endurance group demonstrated the highest levels of cardiovascular fitness and those in the motorically complex group exhibited the highest levels of motor fitness. Nonetheless, no differences in cognitive performance were observed between the 3 groups.
These findings indicate that the mode of sport training, which results in either high cardiovascular or high motor fitness, bears no relationship to measures of general cognition in elite athletes. The present findings suggest that coaches and athletic trainers should be encouraged to monitor athletes' stress levels during training in order to maximize the beneficial effects of such training on general cognitive performance.
研究从事不同运动训练模式的运动员在一般认知任务上是否相应地表现出不同的成绩模式。
招募60名参与者，分为耐力组、动作复杂组或对照组，并对他们进行一系列身体测试和神经心理学评估。
耐力组运动员展现出最高水平的心血管健康状况，动作复杂组运动员展现出最高水平的运动健康状况。尽管如此，三组之间在认知表现上未观察到差异。
这些发现表明，导致高心血管健康水平或高运动健康水平的运动训练模式与精英运动员的一般认知指标无关。目前的研究结果表明，应鼓励教练和运动训练师在训练期间监测运动员的压力水平，以便最大限度地提高此类训练对一般认知表现的有益影响。
