详细描述
The purpose of the study is to measure the effects of a 6 week sport specific BET intervention on physical and cognitive performance parameters in elite orienteering athletes.
The study is constructed as a cross-over design, where participants function as their own control condition. The control condition (the first period) and the intervention (the latter period) consists of a 6 week training period, both leading up to a prioritized international competition. In the control condition participants will train normally leading up to the European Championships. During the intervention period participants will implement 3 sessions per week of a specially designed brain endurance program, leading up to the World Championships. To investigate the effect on all endpoints, physical and cognitive tests are conducted before and after the training periods.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control (CON)
The control condition entails a six-week period. The participant will complete three regular high intensity training per week followed by 20 min of rest
干预措施: Control (Other)
Brain Endurance Training (BET)
The intervention period also entails a 6 week period but with three weekly blocks with a 20 min brain endurance training program following a regular high intensity training session.
干预措施: Brain Endurance Training (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in 5000 m run performance (time)
时间窗: At baseline, after 6 (after CON) and after 12 (after BET) weeks
Self Paced endurance test (physical test part 1) To measure maximal self-paced endurance performance, a track and field test will be performed. This test is completed on a standard athletic track measuring 400m.
Change in Cognitive performance #1 (score)
时间窗: At baseline, after 6 (after CON) and after 12 (after BET) weeks
Change in Inhibition task performance (cognitive test part 1a) This cognitive test consists of the Stroop colour-word task. Participants perform this task on a computer whilst sitting in a quiet and dim lit room. Four words (yellow, blue, green, red) are serially presented on the screen until the participant validates an answer which is followed by a 1,500 ms interval.
Change in Cognitive performance #2 (score)
时间窗: At baseline, after 6 (after CON) and after 12 (after BET) weeks
Route Choice Assessment program (RCA) (cognitive test part 1b) Participants perform the RCA on a computer whilst sitting comfortably in a quiet and dim lit room. The RCA program is a specially designed computer program. The program contains approximately 1500 different orienteering legs.
次要结局
- Subjective workload change(At baseline, after 6 (after CON) and after 12 (after BET) weeks)
- Mood change(At baseline, after 6 (after CON) and after 12 (after BET) weeks)
- 1000 m submaximal running performance(At baseline, after 6 (after CON) and after 12 (after BET) weeks)
- Motivation change(At baseline, after 6 (after CON) and after 12 (after BET) weeks)
