Brain meets brawn: study tests athletes on Dual-Task gaming
NCT ID NCT07461025
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at how healthy athletes perform when they have to think and move at the same time—like playing an active video game while doing a mental task. Researchers will test 60 athletes aged 18 to 34 with different combinations of physical and cognitive challenges. The goal is to understand which types of dual-tasks affect performance most, which could help design better training or rehab programs.
