Abstract In the dynamic landscape of e-sports, where intense competitive gaming demands high cognitive abilities, concentration performance and alternating attention play a pivotal role. E-sports encompass diverse genres, each requiring specific functions. Maintaining unwavering focus is crucial, as split-second decisions can determine victory. The study explores potential Virtual Reality (VR) training to enhance attention, shedding light on importance possibilities optimizing abilities for...
The digit ratio (2D:4D) is said to be a potential marker of exposure prenatal sex steroids. Some studies suggest that the 2D:4D also linked with testosterone response challenging situations due organizational effect hormonal milieu on adult endocrine functioning. However, up date, there were only four (conducted small samples) examined and situation (i.e. physical exertion or aggressive context). Here, we relationship between change under an acute exercise among 97 men. We found ratios (the...
The aim of the study was to investigate response testosterone and cortisol sprint interval exercises (SIEs) determine role dominance. experiment conducted in a group 96 men, divided into endurance-training, strength-training, non-training groups. Participants performed SIEs consisting 5 × 10-s all-out bouts with 50-s active recovery. Using passive drool method, concentrations were measured saliva samples at rest 10 min pre 12 post exercise. Participants’ heart rate (HR) during whole...
The prevalence of Cancer-related Cognitive Impairment (CRCI) in cancer patients necessitates the search for methods to help stimulate cognitive function. An innovative and repeatedly used method oncology departments is virtual reality (VR). To date, no one has VR head neck an attempt their working memory. goal our research intervene with off-the-shelf applications HNC lower risk CRCI. Twenty-two were enrolled this pilot study characterize visuospatial memory capacity, a form During...
A spinal cord injury (SCI) is a traumatic event that affects every aspect of life: physical, mental, economic, and social. The main aim this study was to investigate self-efficacy, quality life, their correlations among outstanding athletes who have suffered injuries, determine whether these individuals specific psychological characteristics contribute better life.The involved nine with at least national-level achievements in sports prior an SCI. Participation the consisted interview via...
A three-times World Champion in BMX (an acronym for Bicycle Motocross) dirt jumps, a Junior ski jumping, and European karate sustained spinal cord injuries at the cervical thoracic level. Such severe trauma is tantamount to end of professional sporting career. In such situation, athlete’s life significantly changes every aspect it: health, professional, social. The greatest sports champions have not yet been portrayed context strategy they used deal with an abrupt career due injury....
This study aimed to describe the percentage of tasks involving language functions that were completed by patients diagnosed with disorders consciousness, as observed during neurorehabilitation conducted for different periods time using an alternative communication tool. The project involved six participants, who 1 month, 6 months, and year. asked solve use eye-controlled device. evaluated on basis average number performed patients, which was 70.45% whole subject group. It is not entirely...
The quality of life patients with severe brain damage is compromised by, e.g., impaired cognitive functions and ocular dysfunction. paper contains research findings regarding participants an oculomotor training course aimed at the therapy visual-spatial functions. Five male who did not communicate, verbally or motorically, participated in study. Over a six-week period, subjects solved tasks associated recognising objects, size perception, colour perception object structures (letters),...
The eyeballs are often the only way to communicate messages as a result of brain damage. However, it is not uncommon for them become dysfunctional, thus requiring introduction appropriate therapy. trajectory eye movements (saccadic and gaze fixation) during observation static dynamic point presented with an tracker was analyzed in present study. Twelve patients injury different etiology, degrees consciousness disorders communicating through verbal motor skills, qualified All participants...
The present investigation was designed to determine cognitive performance and quality of life (QoL) in a group elite athletes who sustained spinal cord injury (SCI).nine participants suffering SCI participated the study. Different functions were evaluated through following tests: COWAT, Digit Span, Stroop color-word QoL WHOQoL-BREF scale.Generally, positively assessed their overall health status. Although tests conducted indicate reduced function among athletes, it did not affect reduction...
Testing cognitive function in patients after severe brain damage is a major clinical challenge. In the absence of both verbal and motor communication, tests commonly used to assess are completely or partially undoable for disorders consciousness patients. The study involved 12 with varying degrees impaired due damage, no communication. Memory was assessed participants using oculography. tasks were presented four categories. total percentage correctly completed obtained across group 39.58%....
