Summary

This study found that a new motor-cognitive testing battery is largely independent of traditional neuropsychological testing and motor function assessments. This suggests motor-cognitive function may be a distinct parameter for performance diagnostics in athletes.

Area of Science:

Sports Science
Neuroscience
Human Performance

Background:

Ecological validity of traditional neuropsychological testing (NT) in sports is debated due to lack of bodily movement.
Existing NT often relies on pen-and-paper or digital formats, not reflecting dynamic athletic environments.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the determinants of a novel motor-cognitive (MC) testing battery.
To assess the relationship between the new MC battery and traditional NT and isolated motor function (MF) assessments.

Main Methods:

Twenty active individuals completed the MC battery, traditional NT (Stroop, Trail Making, Digit Span), and MF tests (Y-balance, sprint, jump).
Kendal's tau and partial Spearman correlations were employed to analyze associations between MC, NT, and MF.

Main Results:

The MC battery showed minimal correlation with isolated motor function tests, with few exceptions.
MC was largely unrelated to traditional NT, even after controlling for motor function covariates.
The Memory Span test within NT showed weak to moderate associations with specific MC items.

Conclusions:

Motor-cognitive function appears to be largely independent of traditional neuropsychological testing and motor function.
The findings suggest that motor-cognitive function may represent a novel and distinct parameter for performance diagnostics in athletes.
