Physical activity and mental performance in preadolescents: Effects of acute exercise on free-recall memory
TL;DR: This article investigated the effects of physical activity on memory performance in preadolescents and found that an acute bout of submaximal exercise, as performed by students during physical education class, may facilitate memory storage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Focusing of visual attention at rest and during physical exercise in soccer players.
TL;DR: Football players appear to be less skilled in local attending, but better able than non-athletes to rapidly “zoom out” the focus of attention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preservation of visual attention in older expert orienteers at rest and under physical effort.
TL;DR: Results suggest that older expert orienteers have developed attentional skills that outweigh, at least at rest, the age-related deficits of visual attentional focusing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual attention in adolescents: Facilitating effects of sport expertise and acute physical exercise
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated visual attention of adolescent orienteers and physically active adolescents non-practising orienteering both at rest and under acute sub-maximal exercise, and found that cognitive expertise represents a key factor in sports that accelerates the development of visual attention and enhances the facilitating effects of physical exercise on attentional performance.

TL;DR: The data showed that Italian male athletes outnumbered their female counterparts and sport achievement might have a positive effect on the trend toward equality of gender coverage, indicating that a global multisport event such as the Olympic Games is central to communicating a national image and identity independently of the athletes' gender.
