Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to provide a more specific understanding of which dual task conditions elicit changes in either motor or cognitive performance. A dual-task is a simultaneously performed motor and cognitive task. Exergaming describes physically active gaming. The main questions the study aims to answer are:

* Can performance in visual and auditory dual-task paradigms explain performance in an immersive exergaming task in healthy athletes?
* How are exergaming scores associated with athletic performance tests?
* What biomechanical movement patterns are shown during dual-tasks? Researchers will also compare performance of those experienced with jumping and those inexperienced with jumping.

Participants will:

* Complete two sessions performing athletic performance tests, cognitive tasks, and different dual-tasks while their movement pattern is recorded
* Complete questionnaires on load, stress, and sleep during the sessions

Conditions

  • Healthy Athlete

Interventions

OTHER

different dual-task paradigms

Participants will perform combined motor-cognitive tasks. During the first session balancing and bilateral jumping will be combined with an additional auditory or visual cognitive task. During the second session participants will do a combined motor-cognitive task in exergaming.
