“…The biggest activations for both ER and alpha amplitude were localised on the parietal midline (precuneus, posterior cingulate cortex, BA 7, 31, 23; Figures 5A,B). The location of P300 is compatible with previous studies (Tarkka et al, 1996, Tarkka et al, 1998, Faro et al, 2020) as well as with sensor space topography (Figure 4). For presentation, we outlined the overlap of dipole locations that was common for P300 and alpha amplitude change (the black line in Figures 5A,B).…”

“…Similar observations were made using MEG (Ishii et al, 2009). Yordanova et al (2001) and 14 more studies found similarities in location but not in the peak latencies (Kolev et al, 2001, Kamarajan et al, 2006, Digiacomo et al, 2008, Krämer et al, 2011, Barutchu et al, 2013, Deiber et al, 2013, Kayser et al, 2013, Zarka et al, 2014, Deiber et al, 2015, Leroy et al, 2017, Liu et al, 2019, Martel et al, 2019, Faro et al, 2020, Espenhahn et al, 2020). In only a few studies, alpha modulation did not appear at all (Kamarajan et al, 2004, Delval et al, 2018) or the relationship between alpha oscillations and ER was not supported by cross-condition comparison (Cooper et al, 2008, Lee et al, 2017, Tamura et al, 2016).…”

Evoked responses and ongoing oscillations represent two major electrophysiological phenomena in the human brain yet the link between them remains rather obscure. Here we show how these two types of brain activity can be mechanistically linked within the framework of the baseline-shift mechanism for the generation of evoked responses. We do so for the two most frequently studied EEG signals: the P300-evoked response and alpha oscillations (8-12 Hz). The baseline-shift mechanism states that oscillations may generate evoked responses if oscillations have a non-zero mean and their amplitude is modulated by the stimulus. Therefore, if the alpha amplitude modulation generates P300, the following predictions should hold: 1) the temporal evolution of P300 and alpha amplitude is similar, 2) spatial localisations of the P300 and alpha amplitude modulation overlap, 3) oscillations are non-zero mean with a sign of the mean being congruent to P300 polarity and direction of alpha amplitude change, 4) P300 and alpha amplitude modulation correlate with cognitive scores in a similar fashion. To fully and reliably validate these predictions, we analysed the data set of elderly participants (N=2230, 60-82 years old), using a) resting-state EEG recordings to compute the baseline-shift index (BSI) to quantify the mean of oscillations, b) the event-related data, to extract parameters of P300 and c) alpha rhythm amplitude envelope. The data was analysed both in sensor and source space. We showed that P300 is indeed linked to alpha amplitude modulation according to all four abovementioned predictions: 1) the time courses of P300 and alpha amplitude envelope correlate negatively; 2) both P300 and alpha rhythm spatially localised in the posterior region of the precuneus and posterior cingulate cortex; 3) the sign of the BSI at Pz electrode is predominantly negative, consistent with the positive polarity of P300 and decrease of alpha amplitude; moreover, a negative BSIs of higher magnitude corresponded to higher P300 amplitude; 4) attention, memory, and executive function scores have congruent correlations for P300 and alpha rhythm amplitude. Our results provide an unifying view on the interdependency of evoked responses and neuronal oscillations and suggest that P300, at least partly, is generated by the modulation of alpha oscillations. Therefore, changes in P300 related to different cognitive conditions, age, or neuropathologies should be interpreted by taking into account the spatio-temporal dynamics of neuronal oscillations.

“…Furthermore, anxiety control and emotional intelligence are necessary not only on the day of competition but also in the preparation period, when athletes have to manage their weight and deal with a stressful training program (Merino Fernández et al, 2020). Previous studies have to some extent identified the variables that can be considered as KPIs for judo performance; these including weight management (Escobar-Molina et al, 2016;Thomson et al, 2017;Gallot et al, 2019), level of strength (Ache Dias et al, 2012;Franchini et al, 2019), technical and tactical skills (Weigelt et al, 2011;Bocioaca, 2014;Miarka et al, 2020), level and direction of motivation (Gillet et al, 2010;Boughattas et al, 2017;Oliveira et al, 2018), nutrition (Artioli et al, 2019), capacity for focus and attention (Yahija, 2010;Jacini et al, 2012;Mihailescu and Sava, 2013;Toh et al, 2018;Campos Faro et al, 2020), sleep habits (Chtourou et al, 2018;Knowles et al, 2018;Vlahoyiannis et al, in press), speed (Almansba et al, 2008), and level of conditioning capacity (aerobic and anaerobic; Detanico et al, 2012;Franchini et al, 2014Franchini et al, , 2016Hesari et al, 2014;Anthierens et al, 2016).…”

Improving on Half-Lightweight Male Judokas' High Performance by the Application of the Analytic Network Process

et al. 2021

Judo is a multifactorial sport where many variables or key performance indicators (KPIs) such as force-velocity profile, bioenergetic capacity, technical and tactical skills, and cognitive and emotional competence play a role and influence the final result. While there have been many academic studies of these variables, usually in isolation, none have examined KPIs holistically or analyzed their impact on strategic performance. The main objective of the present study, therefore, is to apply a novel and easily replicable methodology to identify and prioritize the main KPIs affecting performance in professional judo. Such a methodology was applied to the High-Performance Judo Centre of Valencia, using a multi-criteria decision aid technique: the analytic network process (ANP). The ANP is used to identify and quantify cause and effect relationships not only between KPIs but also between KPIs and performance objectives. Further, the ANP offers effective results when there is a lack of historical KPI data, because it is based on experts' opinions and judgments. A judo expert group (JEG) comprising elite judo coaches and half-lightweight (under 66 kg) male judokas applied the methodology to discriminate between the characteristics required when aiming to reach high-level strategic objectives (such as participating in the Olympic Games or winning a medal in a Grand Slam/Gran Prix). The JEG, which consisted of five elite judokas, national and international champions, and three Olympic coaches—including a former European champion and silver medalist in a world championship—provided high added value to the study. The main findings were that the KPIs that made the most difference were mostly psychological, specifically motivation, stress, and team cohesion. Of these, motivation was by far the most important KPI for success in our case study, so judokas should make sure that they analyze it properly. Motivation is usually intrinsic to the competitor and should be maintained at a high level, not only during tournaments but also during daily training and lifestyle activities. Physical and other specific forms of training, as well as lifestyle KPIs, are very important for the elite competitor but are not sufficient to reach high-level objectives. The most important of these KPIs were Kumi-Kata (grip work), dual career, focus and concentration level, scouting, nutrition, and basic technique. Power and strength were the most important physical KPIs. In general, these are essential for meeting strategic objectives, but they do not make the crucial difference. This suggests that professional psychological support should be provided in daily training and that international team composition and internships should be fostered.

“…This is further supported by ERP findings from athletes experienced with martial arts. The examination of their neurocognitive profile has revealed a higher negativity of the N2 amplitude and an increased P3b ( 29 ). A high P3b in particular does not only differentiate athletes practicing martial arts from inactive individuals but also from athletes engaging in other sports types ( 30 ).…”

Introduction: Very preterm birth and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are associated with impairments in response inhibition that often persist beyond childhood. Athletes skilled in martial arts show a neurocognitive profile that is associated with an improved inhibition processing stream, suggesting that engagement in this kind of sport has the potential to reduce impairments in this cognitive function. We investigated the behavioral and neurocognitive effects of judo training on response inhibition in children born very preterm and children with ADHD by a combined analysis of two randomized controlled trials. Methods: In both the CHIPMANC (n = 65) and JETPAC (n = 63) studies, participants were randomly allocated to a waitlist or a 12-wk judo training program in a 1:1 ratio. At pretest and posttest, participants completed a Go/NoGo task, the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 and a physical work capacity test on a bicycle ergometer. During the cognitive task, event-related potentials (N2, P3a, P3b) were recorded via electroencephalography. Results: The effects of the judo training were moderated by the study group. In contrast to children with ADHD (JETPAC), judo training reduced the commission error rate on the Go/NoGo task and increased the P3a amplitude in children born very preterm (CHIPMANC). No treatment effects were found for N2, P3b and physical fitness outcomes. Conclusions: The neurodevelopmental condition influences the cognitive benefits of judo training. Whereas judo may be ineffective in children with ADHD, children born very preterm can expect improved response inhibition due to a more effective engagement of focal attention to resolve the task-related response conflict.
