Abstract
The study aimed to examine the impact of a team sport match on the cognitive coding-decoding system and the psychomotor reaction time on university students. Twenty-one healthy university learners (average age = 21.5 ± .3 years) were administered the WAIS-IV scales and Leed Test psychomotors before and after a single bout of exercise. The exercise treatments consisted of a 5-min warm-up, a 5-min cooldown, and handball game for 20 min. The means were compared by ANOVA at the .05 significance level. The results revealed that exercise treatment resulted in significantly enhanced performance across Speed of information processing (p<.000), visual perception (p<.005) and choice reaction time (p <.040). Furthermore, under the effect of gender, the performances of males in total reaction time were significantly (p<.05) higher than females at rest and after exercise. But no significant difference was noted in the speed of treatment information and visual perception time. It is suggested that physical activity can be used as a means of stimulating cognitive skills and student development in university training programs in order to optimize certain cognitive functions and improve learning.
Highlights
IntroductionUnder the effect of gender, Neurophysiological parameters are evaluated in the performances of males in total reaction time were several experimental studies
Several The aim of this study is to examine the impact of a team studies have shown positive effects perceptual skills sport match on the cognitive coding-decoding system and the psychomotor reaction time
The tests administered to our sample mobilized, on the one hand, the repetitive cognitive coding/decoding system, which is an indicator of information processing speed, and on the other hand the psychomotor reaction speed by exploring the three components: perceptive, motor and sensorimotor factor
Summary
Under the effect of gender, Neurophysiological parameters are evaluated in the performances of males in total reaction time were several experimental studies. Several The aim of this study is to examine the impact of a team studies have shown positive effects perceptual skills sport match on the cognitive coding-decoding system and the psychomotor reaction time. The study was designed to consider the effect of gender on cognitive tasks namely visual perception, information processing and motor response. We hypothesized that team sport match enhance performance on cognitive coding-decoding tasks and the psychomotor reaction time
