Cognitive and Executive Functions of Young Men regarding Sport Activity and Personality Traits

Sport activity can be a moderator of change in the level of cognitive and executive functions. This research sample consisted of 71 men aged 22.66 ± 1.91 years. This group was split into two subgroups: nonathletes (<i>n</i> = 26) and athletes (<i>n</i> = 45). The athletes inc...

This research sample consisted of 71 men aged 22.66 ± 1.91 years. This group was split into two subgroups: nonathletes (<i>n</i> = 26) and athletes (<i>n</i> = 45). The athletes included open skill sport athletes (<i>n</i> = 21) and closed skill sport athletes (<i>n</i> = 24). We used a standardized S-test to detect the level of cognitive functions, a standardized EPQ-R questionnaire to find out the degree of neuroticism and a standardized IVE questionnaire to measure the level of impulsivity. For data processing, we used the Kruskal–Wallis test following the Mann–Whitney test. To calculate the effect of size differences we used the coefficients η<sup>2</sup> and r. Our research showed a higher level of cognitive function of athletes compared to nonathletes. More detailed data analysis showed that open skill sport disciplines are influential. There is also a negative relationship between the level of cognitive function and the degree of impulsivity and neuroticism.
