Persistent cognitive deficits in ACL-injured athletes despite of rehabilitation
Background Rehabilitation programs following an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury tend to focus on improving conditional aspects such as biomechanics. Recently, some studies have analyzed the relationship between cognition and ACL injury, but how cognitive performance evolves throughout the rehabilitation process has not yet been explored. This study assessed how cognitive performance evolves at three points in the ACL injury recovery proce…
Changes in Perceived Mental Load and Motor Performance during Practice-to-Learn and Practice-to-Maintain in Basketball
The results showed that increasing the difficulty of 1 × 1 situations through restrictions harmed the player's performance and increased their perceived mental load. These effects were moderated by previous basketball experience and the player's inhibition capacity, so the difficulty adjustment should be based on the athletes themselves
Dissociable Effects of Executive Load on Perceived Exertion and Emotional Valence during Submaximal Cycling
Endurance physical exercise is accompanied by subjective perceptions of exertion (reported perceived exertion, RPE), emotional valence, and arousal. These constructs have been hypothesized to serve as the basis for the exerciser to make decisions regarding when to stop, how to regulate pace, and whether or not to exercise again. In dual physical-cognitive tasks, the mental (executive) workload generated by the cognitive task has been shown to inf…
Does Emotion Regulation Predict Gains in Exercise-Induced Fitness? A Prospective Mixed-Effects Study with Elite Helicopter Pilots
Emotion regulation (ER) is a strong predictor of different aspects of mental health and wellbeing. However, only recently has ER been examined in relation to physical activity and its effects on fitness. In the present study, 26 elite helicopter pilots, serving in the Spanish Air Force, were physically trained for 6 months, and their level of fitness (maximum oxygen consumption and time to exhaustion in a treadmill-running test) was assessed befo…
Acute Effect of Cognitive Compromise during Physical Exercise on Self-Regulation in Early Childhood Education
Self-regulation (SR) in pre-schoolers is a strong predictor of different aspects of mental health and wellbeing. However, SR only recently has been examined concerning physical activity and its effects on cognitive performance. In the present study, 49 preschool children aged 4-5 years were submitted to classroom movement breaks (CMBs) of 15-min with different degrees of difficulty. Before beginning the intervention, SR (i.e., head, toes, knees a…
La comunicación durante la intervención didáctica del entrenador. Consideraciones para el desarrollo del conocimiento táctico y la mejora en la toma de decisiones en baloncesto. (Communication during …
The sport performance in basketball depends on multiple factors, of different nature: motor, physical, psychological. After many years in which the main preoccupation of the coaches was the development of the motor skills, the recent scientific production has demonstrated the importance of the cognitive processes in the decision making, the necessity to foment oriented strategies to provide autonomy to the player or the decisive influence of the …
