“…Among previous studies that included both males and females, inconsistent findings are reported. For example, Keller et al (2022) used fNIRS to assess participants’ cerebral oxygenation during IHE and observed that at a 25% MVC protocol, there was a decrease in oxyhemoglobin in males but an increase in females, which directly affects cognitive performance ( Herold et al, 2019b ; Zhu et al, 2022 ). Additionally, sex differences in matched contraction load contribute to differences in BP responses and cardiac baroreflex sensitivity ( Teixeira et al, 2018 ; Lee et al, 2021 ), which potentially indirectly affects cognitive performance ( Ogoh and Tarumi, 2019 ).…”

Cognitive function is essential for most behaviors of daily living and is a critical component in assessing the quality of life. Mounting prospective evidence supports the use of isometric handgrip exercise (IHE) as a small muscle mass practice to promote health-related outcomes in clinical and healthy populations. The aim of the present review was to systematically investigate whether IHE is effective in improving the cognitive function of adults (aged ≥18 years). Studies were identified by searching five databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus, PsychINFO, and Web of Science). Eight out of 767 studies met the inclusion criteria, including three types of studies: 1) acute effect for IHE with various intensity protocols (n = 4); 2) acute effect for IHE with one set exhaustion protocol (n = 2); and 3) chronic effect of IHE on cognitive function (n = 2). To assess the methodological quality of studies, the PEDro scale was used (mean score = 6.75). The evidence on whether IHE exerts acute positive effects on cognitive performance is currently rather inconclusive. However, a trend was discernible that implementing IHE can generate a beneficial chronic effect on cognitive function, although the results should be interpreted with caution. The clinical relevance of IHE as a time-efficient type of physical exercise to improve cognitive function warrants further investigation. Methodology and safety considerations were discussed.Systematic Review Registration: (https://osf.io/gbzp9).

“…According to Ghani, Zainuddin, Ibrahim, Hashim & Van [53], the depression subscale has 7 question items. Depression with normal (0-9), mild (10)(11)(12), moderate (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20), severe (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27) and very severe (28-42) levels. The anxiety subscale has 7 question items.…”

“…Cognitive function was an aspect that supported all types of exercise including sports [17,18], and in recent years, this element has drawn a lot of attention [19,20,21]. Data showed that 47.5 million people had dementia, which was characterized by a decline in cognitive function, and it was estimated that by 2030, 75.6 million people will be affected globally [22], and 135.5 million in 2050 [23].…”

Purpose. The use of virtual reality technology in the field of sports is increasing, but there is a lack of evidence reporting the effects of virtual reality to change the level of mental health and cognitive function in Karate athletes through mixed research methods. This study to determine how virtual reality-based physical activity affected athletes' levels of mental health and cognitive function. Material and methods. This study involved male Karate athletes from Cendikia Leadership School in Indonesia (n=30). The athletes were allocated to the experimental group (n=15) and control group (n=15). Results. First finding of the quantitative study showed that before the experiment there was no difference in the scores of mental health and cognitive function in the two groups. The second finding showed that there was a difference after the experiment. In qualitative study, athletes revealed their perception that the advantages of virtual reality-based physical activity were fun, easy to implement, and can be carried out without the supervision of a coach. Moreover, they also mentioned the weakness of this tool, namely not all athletes have virtual reality tools, the impact to their eye health, exercise must be carried out in a safe place. Conclusions. Thus, this study concluded that physical activity based on virtual reality was proven to be effective in changing of mental health and cognitive function of Karate athletes.

Lack of concentration and accuracy can lead to less optimal shot results in archery sports. This study aimed to find the effect of imagery and meditation exercises on the accuracy of 40-meter-distance archery performed by archery athletes. This research was an experimental study with two groups of pretest-posttest designs. The sample included 24 athletes selected using purposive sampling, with the criteria included: being men, being active athletes, and doing routine training. The sample was divided into two groups through ordinal pairing. The first half went into an imagery group, and the other went into a meditation group. Both groups were given treatment in 10 meetings. The research instrument used involved an archery test scoring for a 40-meter distance. The collected data were tested for their normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov technique and homogeneity using the Levene statistic technique with a significant level of 5% (p>0.05). Meanwhile, the researcher applied the paired samples t-test for hypothesis testing. Conclusions. The study results showed (a) there was an influence of imagery training and meditation practice on improving the archery athletes' accuracy, (b) and there is a difference in the effects between imagery practice and meditation on improving archery accuracy, where imagery practice has a greater degree of improving archery accuracy in archery athletes than meditation practice.
