“…This lack of further-transfer to executive functions is in line with previous studies of Moen et al (2018) and Fleddermann et al (2019). However, increases in sustained attention and processing speed were found in the latter study.…”

“…They analyzed small-sided soccer games in a pre-post design with an active and a passive control group. Contrary to those results, Moen, Hrozanova, and Stiles (2018) found no significant improvements in executive functions in elite athletes from dynamic sports after 5 weeks of training. However, those results need to be interpreted with caution as the number of absolved sessions in this study was highly differing.…”

Visual and executive functions have been suggested to be crucial in high-demanding team sports. Consequently, the interest in evaluating training possibilities of these functions is relatively high. However, easily applicable training tools, as well as evidence of their efficacy, especially in the present group of age (i.e. 17–21 years) and performance level, are scarce. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and transfer of an essential cognitive training tool (i.e. NeuroTracker [NT] three dimensional [3D] multiple-object tracking [MOT]) in youth elite soccer players. Visual and executive functions were analyzed in a pre–post test design with an intervention and a control group after 10 weeks of training twice a week. Physical activity was included as a possible covariate. Results show meaningful benefits in the trained ability (i.e. MOT) besides small but negligible improvements in visual clarity and inhibition for the intervention group. Consequently, strict single-task NT 3D-MOT seems to have little transfer to other visual or executive functions. However, future studies should investigate the effects of sport-specific dual-task NT 3D-MOT to analyze possible multitasking adaptations further.

“…Furthermore, players and teams always show unique traits while playing with different opponents at different times (2,38). This study is highly relevant in the conditions of this study subject, and different opponents, as well as game quality, were determined to influence athlete play performance.…”

“…Perceptual-cognitive training is designed to improve an athlete's performance during the search, identification, processing, and integration of information with the knowledge and ability to perform appropriate actions (1) These skills are essential to improve sporting performance, and several methods have been implemented to ensure perfection, including visual simulation, video projection, and the use of Neurotrackers (2). Besides, these approaches are widely used by coaches, sports experts, and athletes to enhance skills (3) and are potentially practiced in diverse sports, including the dynamic team forms (e.g., football, basketball, ice skating, baseball, softball, and field hockey) and individual sports (e.g., running, tennis) (2,4). Moreover, perceptualcognitive training is also applied to improve athlete concentration for the actual game (5).…”

Background. Basketball is a dynamic sport where athletes are expected to observe the fast movements of team players and opponents in a performance. This condition requires a collective focus on the stipulated tasks, to achieve peak performance. Besides, training is frequently performed to improve concentration and athlete performance. This instigates the need for technology-based methods, including the NeuroTracker 3D MOT. Objectives. This study aims to examine differences in the effect of NeuroTracker 3D MOT and conventional training on the concentration and game performance of basketball athletes. Methods. This experimental study involved a pre and post-training session design, and the treatments were provided to 21 university basketball athletes. Furthermore, a total of 12 NeuroTracker 3D MOT training were performed by the experimental group, while the control was provided with conventional training. Subsequently, Concentration Grid Test (CGT) was used to measure the concentration, and FIBA-LiveStats were collected to evaluate the game statistics and athlete performance. Results. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the effect of NeuroTracker training and conventional training on increasing concentration. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the effect of NeuroTracker training and conventional training on improving game performance. Conclusion. The practice of NeuroTracker 3D MOT training positively influenced concentration. However, there are no significant differences in contrast to conventional training on game performance.

“…(Brendan, 2014). Moen, et al, (2018) state that a research on 60 elite athletes from various sport branches, such as martial arts (boxing and wrestling), handball, soccer, biathlon, orienteering, alpine skiing, and paralympic sports (sled hockey, badminton, and table tennis), show that there was no significant impact on the excecutive function of some sport branches. The result of discussion concludes the importance of the specific training utilizing NeuroTracker 3D Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) technology.…”

Neurotracker is a 3D technology with Multiple Object Tracking (MOT). This technology has not been developed in Indonesia. Meanwhile, developed countries have implemented this technology in sport training, including in archery sport. In archery sport, the athletes are required to concentrate every time they perform a technique and to be fast and accurate in making a decision when aiming and releasing the arrows. The problem usually occurs during shooting is that the athlete doubts in aiming and releasing the arrows, thus the shooting result does not hit the target. It is caused by the athlete’s doubt and the lack of concentration. To overcome the problem, a neurotracker training is important to be conducted in every training process to improve the athletes’ concentration. The method used in this study was an experimental method. The samples were 20 persons chosen in a non-random sampling. The subjects were divided into two groups through a random assignment, thus the number of subject in each group was ten persons. The instrument to measure the concentration was the Concentration Grid Test. The design of the study was pretest-posttest control group design. To analyze the data, t-test was used. The result of the study showed that (1) there was a significant effect of the NeuroTracker training on the improvement of the archery athlete’s concentration, (2) there was a significant effect of conventional training on the improvement of archery athlete’s concentration, (3) there was a significant difference of effect between the NeuroTracker training and conventional training in the improvement of the archery athlete’s concentration. The NeuroTracker training was better than a conventional training in increasing the archery athlete’s concentration. It is suggested that the archery trainers implement the NeuroTracker technology in the training process as it could improve the concentration of the archery athletes.
