| Sumario: | The aim of this study is to determine differences in the performance of an attention-related task involving martial arts skills. 12 expertmartial arts athletes and 13 novices took part, performing the Test of Variables of Attention (Leark, Greenberg, Kindschi, Dupuy and Hughes, 2007).Using a non-parametric statistical permutation method, the test data for each variable, condition and segment of the test was analysed. Comparisons ofthe groups showed a trend toward a higher global Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) score by the expert athletes as compared with thenovices. In order to find out each group’s performance during the test, a statistical intra-group analysis was performed. Generally, the results revealedmore consistent accuracy and response times by the experts than by the novice athletes. The results suggest that physical and mental training in themartial arts may increase the attention skills of sportsmen and women. |
