To achieve optimal performance in sports, it is essential to have strong perceptual cognitive abilities. Evidence suggests that athletes have superior perceptual abilities compared to nonathletes. However, gender differences in athletes' perceptual cognitive abilities have not been previously reported. This project aims to evaluate perceptual cognitive abilities among male and female adolescents. To measure perceptual abilities, a 3-dimensional multiple-object tracking task was used. The findings confirm the superior perceptual cognitive abilities in young athletes relative to nonathletes. However, our results indicate differences in performance patterns between male and female athletes. These results demonstrate that sports engagement and perceptual cognitive abilities are strongly related during adolescence and that this relationship seems more prevalent in male athletes for this age group.
为了在运动中取得最佳表现，拥有强大的感知认知能力至关重要。有证据表明，运动员的感知能力优于非运动员。然而，此前并未有研究报告运动员的感知认知能力存在性别差异。本项目旨在评估青少年男性和女性的感知认知能力。为了测量感知能力，我们使用了 3 维多项追踪任务。研究结果证实，相对于非运动员，年轻运动员具有更优的感知认知能力。然而，我们的结果表明，男性和女性运动员的表现模式存在差异。这些结果表明，在青少年时期，运动参与和感知认知能力密切相关，而且这种关系在该年龄段的男性运动员中更为明显。
