Motor learning, in addition to influencing the practice of physical activity, affects cognitive skills related to prediction and decision. One key principle in sports training is designing exercise programs that optimize cognitive-motor performance, based on the Challenge Point Framework (CPF). The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different levels of work difficulty on cognitive-perceptual indicators in table tennis beginners.
Forty-two female beginners in table tennis (ages 20-35) were divided into high, moderate, low task difficulty, and control groups based on pre-test scores of attention networks. The intervention consisted of 8 daily training sessions, each lasting 30 minutes. Pre- and post-test comparisons were made to evaluate changes in cognitive-perceptual performance.
Post-test results showed improvements in executive control of attention and cognitive effort across all groups. But there was no significant difference between the groups.
These findings suggest that cognitive task difficulty, much like functional difficulty, aligns with predictions from the CPF, enhancing executive control and cognitive effort, and thereby supporting motor learning.
Cognitive difficulty, like functional difficulty, takes advantage of the challenge point framework and improves cognitive-cognitive indicators.
运动学习除了影响体育活动的实践外，还会影响与预测和决策相关的认知技能。体育训练的一个关键原则是基于挑战点框架（CPF）设计能够优化认知 - 运动表现的训练计划。本研究的目的是调查不同工作难度水平对乒乓球初学者认知 - 感知指标的影响。
根据注意力网络的预测试分数，将42名乒乓球女性初学者（年龄20 - 35岁）分为高、中、低任务难度组和对照组。干预包括每天8次训练课程，每次持续30分钟。进行前后测试比较以评估认知 - 感知表现的变化。
后测结果显示所有组在注意力的执行控制和认知努力方面都有改善。但各组之间没有显著差异。
这些发现表明，认知任务难度与功能难度类似，符合CPF的预测，增强了执行控制和认知努力，从而支持运动学习。
认知难度与功能难度一样，利用挑战点框架并改善认知 - 认知指标。
