Adding cognitive training to existing lower limb injury prevention programs may reduce knee injuries. When task demands exceed attentional capacity, injury risk increases, highlighting the need for cognitive-sport interventions.
Area of Science:
- Sports Medicine
- Neuroscience
- Biomechanics
Background:
- Current lower limb injury prevention programs, including strength and balance training, are not fully effective.
- Noncontact lower extremity injuries remain a significant issue for athletes.
- Cognitive neuroscience suggests a link between attentional capacity and injury risk.
