Abstract

Much research has been executed to investigate how altering focus of attention impacts performance and feelings of fatigue. Using a within-participant design, the present study examined how an associative and dissociative attentional in addition to an internal and external attentional dimension influenced the running economy of nonprofessional runners. Twelve women (aged 18–30 years old) ran on a treadmill at 70% of their predetermined maximum velocity. Participants ran in four counterbalanced conditions (dissociative-external, dissociative-internal, associative-external, and associative-internal). Average oxygen volume, respiration volume and breathing frequency, heart rate, blood lactate level, and Borg rating of perceived exertion were measured. Our findings revealed when participants adopted a dissociative-external focus of attention, they consumed less oxygen, had lower blood lactate, and a lower rating of perceived exertion compared with trials completed using an associative attention strategy. The findings of this study demonstrate that running economy is improved and feelings of fatigue are lowest when using a combination of a dissociative-external focus of attention.
联想、分离、内部和外部注意力焦点对跑步经济性的影响
很多研究都在调查改变注意力焦点是如何影响表现和疲劳感的。本研究采用参与者内设计,考察了联想注意和解离注意以及内部和外部注意维度如何影响非专业跑步者的跑步经济性。12名女性(年龄在18-30岁之间)在跑步机上以预定最大速度的70%跑步。参与者在四种平衡条件下(游离-外部、游离-内部、联想-外部和联想-内部)跑步。测量平均氧容量、呼吸量和呼吸频率、心率、血乳酸水平和感知运动的博格评分。我们的研究结果显示,与使用联想注意力策略完成的试验相比,当参与者采用分离-外部注意力策略时,他们消耗的氧气更少,血乳酸含量更低,感知劳累的评分也更低。本研究的结果表明,当使用分离-外部注意力组合时,跑步经济性得到改善,疲劳感最低。
