Brain training on the field: could cognitive games boost athletic focus?
NCT ID NCT07749937
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a 12-week program of sports-based cognitive games can improve attention and alter brain activity in young athletes. About 95 active athletes, aged 18-25, will be randomly assigned to either their usual training plus the game program, or their usual training alone. Before and after the program, researchers measure attention with a paper-and-pencil test and record brain waves from the forehead to see if the training changes the brain's attention-related activity.

- Sports-Based Cognitive Game Development Program
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could offer a simple, drug-free way to sharpen attention and brain function in athletes, potentially enhancing performance.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study. Results may not apply to all athletes, and the attention gains might not translate to real-world sports performance.
