Relationship Between Modality-specific Dual-task Performance and Immersive Exergaming Outcomes in Healthy Athletes

Sponsor: Zurich University of Applied Sciences

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
