2. Are athletes active in high-contact sports at risk of impaired executive functioning? A quasi-experimental study on competitive mixed martial arts (MMA) athletes.
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologiAbstract : The study of high-contact sport athletes and the implications of repetitive head injury (RHI) associated with these sports has been at the forefront of traumatic brain injury (TBI) research for the last decade. The present study represents a quasi-experimental study exploring whether an experimental group (N=39) consisting of amateur and professional competitive mixed martial arts (MMA) athletes differ in three operations of executive functioning ability (shifting, updating and inhibition) when compared to a control group (N=44) of non-contact sports athletes.
