Filter by:The Lower Quadrant Y-Balance Test (LQYBT) is a landmark test used in assessing lower extremity performance, determining risk factors for injury, and making return-to-sport decisions. Studies have shown that the individual's focus of attention affects balance. The literature, has shown that the use of external focus is more effective than the use of internal focus in the execution of a movement.Consistent with these findings, the use of an external focus instruction during the LQYBT may lead to achieve more realistic and a higher performance outcome than the test result with standard instructions. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effects of using different instructions and focusing techniques on test performance on the LQYBT. The secondary aim was to investigate the reliability of the different instructions and focus tests we used for the LQYBT. Hypothesis of the study that test performance can be further enhanced by differentiating the instructions and focus techniques. A more effective assessment of individual performance may help us to make a more realistic decision to return to sport.
The primary objective of the current study is to investigate the effect of two probiotic formulations on task-switching following acute stress in healthy, adult action video gamers. It is hypothesized that the participants that consume the probiotic formulations will have improved task-switching performance following acute stress compared to those who consume a placebo.
This study assesses the impact of mind-wandering on reading and math.
The researchers aimed to investigate the relationship between the asymmetric dopaminergic degeneration and the attentional resources in a group of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
