Kendall's coefficient of concordance (W) was used to analyze expert ratings, confirming content validity. Mann-Whitney U and independent samples t-tests were employed to assess decision quality and decision time differences between high- and low-level groups. Gender was included as a covariate in ANCOVA to control for gender effects. Gaze patterns were analyzed to examine differences in visual behavior. Phase 2 involved test-retest reliability analysis using Pearson's correlation coefficient (r).<b>Results:</b> High-level players performed significantly better in decision-making (p < 0.001) and had broader gaze distributions, while low-level players focused less on critical information. Test-retest correlations for decision scores (r = 0.846) and reaction times (r = 0.802) were significant (p < 0.001). Therefore, the high test-retest correlation reflects the strong reliability of the assessment system.<b>Conclusions:</b> This study is the first to validate the reliability and validity of a VR eye movements -based assessment tool for evaluating basketball players' decision-making abilities.

Using survival analysis, we examined dropout rates and career durations for medalists and non-medalists, defining career termination as a period of at least two consecutive years without international competition. The results from the Cox regression showed that medalists exhibited significantly lower risks of career termination in certain years (e.g., 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016), with reductions ranging from 43% to 75%. However, this protective effect was inconsistent, with no significant differences observed in other years. Factors such as injuries, performance stagnation, and structural changes in the International Judo Federation's ranking system likely contributed to these variations, particularly during years of significant policy shifts. Our findings highlight the importance of early success in extending career duration while emphasizing that it is not a guaranteed predictor of long-term success.

The number of successful kicks and passes in static and quasi-static situations were compared, and the concept of information entropy was used for motion analysis to provide new insights. The results revealed that the number of successful passes in quasi-static situations significantly decreased (count: 320/400 times), indicating that even in quasi-static states, humans make decisions while anticipating dynamic situations, even in quasi-static states (Movement time: 853 ± 121 ms). During this time, there was a large variation (Entropy: 1.64, 1.86 bits) in the direction of the waist and the kicking motion at the moment of the kick. These findings indicate that motion is controlled in anticipation of dynamic situations, even under seemingly static conditions, and emphasize the importance of stability and accuracy in motor control across all situations.

Therefore, this study investigates the effects of BFR combined with low-intensity aerobic exercise on cognitive flexibility in adolescent athletes, with a focus on the role of peripheral catecholamines. A randomized balanced crossover design was employed, involving 20 participants who completed four intervention conditions: sedentary rest, low-intensity aerobic exercise, moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, and BFR with low-intensity aerobic exercise. Post-intervention assessments included measurements of peripheral catecholamine levels and cognitive flexibility, specifically examining shifting costs. The results revealed significant differences in shifting costs across intervention conditions (<i>p</i> < .001).
