The current study tests possible transfer effects from NT 3D multiple object tracking (MOT) training among elite athletes from dynamic sports on executive brain functions, such as alerting, orienting, executive control, inhibition, shifting and updating
The four executive functions (EF) tests investigated in this study were the attention network test (ANT), the anti-saccade task (AST), the color shape task and the letter memory task (LMT)
The analysis in the current study shows that there were significant improvements among the participants in both groups on the NT 3D MOT tool used in this study
