Dynamics of Executive Functions, Basic Psychological Needs, Impulsivity, and Depressive Symptoms in American Football Players

et al. 2019

Executive functions play an important role in sports since the ability to plan, organize, and regulate behavior to reach an objective or goal depends on these functions. Some of the components of executive functions, such as inhibition of impulsive behavior and cognitive flexibility, are necessary for contact sports (e.g., American football) to carry out successful plays on the sports field. Executive functions have been studied in the sporting environment, but their relationship with the athletes’ basic psychological needs (BPN), such as autonomy, competence, and relatedness, remains unexplored. Due to the importance of motivational processes over cognitive functions and in the generated adaptive results in athletes, this relationship should be taken into account. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze and compare executive functioning and psychological need thwarting overimpulsivity and psychological distress, before and after the season (4 months) in 28 undergraduate football players. Neuropsychological and psychological tests were applied. The results showed that there was an improvement in inhibition and planning at the end of the season. There was also an increase in attention and motor impulsiveness, and a decrease in need thwarting at the end of the season. A positive association between executive function, impulsiveness, psychological needs, and affective symptoms were also found. Our findings reveal the dynamics of sport-related psychological variables throughout the sport season in American football players, the association of these for the achievement of sport success, and the importance of encouraging proper management of emotions.

“…The MoCA has a maximum total score of 30 points. A meta-analysis conducted by Loureiro et al [20] describes different validation studies of the MoCA in Latin American Spanish-speaking populations. Delgado et al [15] validation study included a total of 172 participants (HE, mild NCD, and major NCD) from Santiago, Chile; providing good diagnostic efficiency indices (i.e., sensitivity, specificity).…”

Background: The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a sensitive screening instrument for mild neurocognitive disorder (mild NCD). However, cut-off scores and accuracy indices should be established using representative samples of the population. In this context, the aim of this study was to update the normative values, and diagnostic efficiency statistics of the MoCA to detect mild NCD in the Chilean population. Methods: This study included 226 participants from the north, center, and south of the country, classified into 3 groups: healthy elderly (HE; n = 113), mild NCD (n = 65), and major neurocognitive disorder (major NCD; n = 48). Results: The optimal cut-off score to discriminate mild NCD from HE participants was 20 points with a sensitivity of 82.8% and a specificity of 84.1%. The observed balance between sensitivity and specificity shows a good test performance either to confirm or discard a diagnosis. The cut-off between mild NCD and major NCD from HE participants was 19 points with 85.6% of sensitivity and 90.3% of specificity. Conclusion: Overall diagnostic accuracy can be considered as outstanding (AUC ≥0.904) when discriminating HE from both mild NCD and major NCD. These results showed that the MoCA is a suitable tool to identify mild NCD and major NCD.

“…It was considered as a cutoff point < 26 cognitive impairment and ≥ 26 normal. In addition, this test is validated in Spanish in different Latin American countries 9 . Participants with a history of mental, neurological and oncological diseases were excluded in the study; in addition to those who are experiencing reactive mental illness.…”

Background: Complications of psychiatric, psychological, and psychosocial sequelae. Little is known about the consequences of COVID-19 on the cognitive functions of patients in the subacute phase of the disease. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine if there is an incidence of cognitive impairment in patients with COVID-19 with mild to moderate symptoms in the remission phase. Method: This is a cross-sectional study conducted between April 2021 and August 2021 at the Eugenio Espejo Hospital in Quito, Ecuador. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment test was applied to COVID-19 patients with mild to moderate symptoms. Results: A total of 50 subjects were recruited, 88% (n = 44) presented cognitive deterioration and only 12% (n = 6) showed a normal score. Conclusions: In our cohort study, patients with COVID-19 with mild-moderate symptoms are at high risk of cognitive impairment.
