Abstract
Although in recent years, there have been many studies to determine the cognitive performance of athletes, there are significant differences in the methodological approaches of these studies. Therefore, this methodology-focused systematic review aims to analyze the application methods of cognitive test studies with athletes and to provide standard recommendations for further studies. For this purpose, three electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus) were searched using predetermined keywords. As a result of the screening, 25 studies were included in the review. The result of this systematic review focused on the methodology of applying cognitive tests and observed considerable heterogeneity in methodological procedures applied in studies investigating the cognitive performance of athletes. The findings of this review highlight the need for the development of standardized procedures for the assessment of cognitive performance in future research while offering practical recommendations for researchers and coaches working in this area.
虽然近年来有许多研究确定运动员的认知表现,但这些研究在方法上存在显著差异。因此,本研究旨在分析运动员认知测试研究的应用方法,并为进一步的研究提供标准建议。为此,使用预定的关键词搜索了三个电子数据库(Web of Science、PubMed和Scopus)。作为筛选的结果,25项研究被纳入综述。本系统综述的结果集中在应用认知测试的方法上,并观察到在研究运动员认知表现的研究中应用的方法程序存在相当大的异质性。这篇综述的发现强调了在未来的研究中需要开发标准化的程序来评估认知表现,同时为在这一领域工作的研究人员和教练提供了实用的建议。
期刊介绍:
Published in association with the Nordic psychological associations, the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology publishes original papers from Scandinavia and elsewhere. Covering the whole range of psychology, with a particular focus on experimental psychology, the journal includes high-quality theoretical and methodological papers, empirical reports, reviews and ongoing commentaries.Scandinavian Journal of Psychology is organised into four standing subsections: - Cognition and Neurosciences - Development and Aging - Personality and Social Sciences - Health and Disability
