Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Military Science
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Executive functions (EF) are vital for goal achievement, adaptation, and social interaction.
  • Effective military task performance, including shooting performance (SP), relies heavily on EF.
  • Understanding EF's role in SP is crucial for soldier training and development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between executive functions and shooting performance in military cadets.
  • To examine potential gender differences in executive functions and shooting performance among cadets.
  • To identify specific EF components related to shooting accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Color Trails Test (CTT-1 and CTT-2) to measure executive functions and attention.
  • Assessed shooting performance through scores from various small arms and rifle shooting exercises.
  • Employed Spearman correlation and Mann-Whitney U test for statistical analysis.

Main Results:

  • No significant gender differences were found in the overall levels of executive functions or shooting performance.
  • Higher shooting performance in males across all events was significantly correlated with higher executive functions.
  • Improved pistol shooting performance in females was also significantly correlated with higher executive functions.

Conclusions:

  • Executive functions are linked to shooting performance in military cadets, irrespective of gender.
  • While overall performance and EF levels showed no gender disparity, specific correlations highlight the importance of EF for accuracy.
  • Findings suggest that EF training could enhance shooting skills in both male and female soldiers.
