In combat sports more than in other sports, the slightest imperfect decision can put you down. So rather than being knocked out in a boxing ring. How can you do everything you can to be OK with your in performance in combat sports ?
In Montreal, J. Faubert and L. Sidebottom studied the different mechanisms that athletes could implement to allow them to be at their best in their discipline. They focused on the training of cognitive abilities. On the way in which athletes, even at a very high level, can continue to train in order to progress. To react as quickly as possible to their opponents behaviour that can be completely unpredictable.
This article, published in the Journal of clinical Sport Psychology in 2012, assumes that the higher the level of the sport it is. The faster the speed with which athletes must make a decision it is.
This is particularly obvious in combat sports where the spectator’s eyes (whose attention is totally focused on what is happening in the ring or on the tatami in front of him!) do not easily understand the succession of actions that just occurred.
So, what about the speed with which the wrestler, or the practitioner of any concerned combat sport, has to think about his placement while observing his opponent’s movement, in order to make the best decision in performance in combat sports ?
However, in this study, the Canadian researchers report good news: this speed of action and decision making is less due to a great experience than to a “perceptive-visual” training. To put it simply, we can have a very good level of boxing thanks to a certain type of visual identification training that will improve our ability to anticipate!
This track has been enhanced by Nicolas Milazzo’s thesis, in 2015, on cognitive, perceptive and decisional expertise in percussion sports.
Objective: understanding how the decision-making process is built in combat sports, and via which cognitive and perceptual dynamics.
The idea was to explore what visual strategies taekwondo and karate practitioners implement when they have to perform a decision task.
And the results are clear: “experts’ decisions are more relevant thanks to the use of effective visual search strategies” !
Strengthen your brain to strengthen your decisions, that’s what Neural Trainer is all about.
By appealing to the neurocognitive system and muscles, our solution based on the identification of light stimuli of all kinds. It is a complete and very suitable training companion for all combat sports aficionados.
And since working on your reflexes is good, but working them in a group is better.
