Effect Of Basketball On Cognitive Function Of College Students

With the passage of time,many scholars have devoted themselves to the field of sports cognition.Many existing data show that physical exercise plays an important role in improving cognitive function.More and more people pay attention to the positive psychological benefits obtained by sports.College students,as the hope of the country,have to hand over a large part of the important work to college students in the future,which makes more and more researchers notice the important value of body activities to improve the physical and mental development of College students.In order to study the correlation between body activity and college students' cognition from many aspects,I study the influence of basketball on College Students' cognition from three different perspectives:memory,attention and executive function.In this study,60 college students recruited by Northwest Normal University were divided into experimental group(30 students)and control group(30 students).The intervention lasted16 weeks.The undergraduates in the experimental group accepted compulsory physical education as well as basketball after class.The control group had normal classes and had little or no extracurricular activities.Before the beginning of the experiment,two groups of students' cognitive were measured,and three aspects of cognitive changes of college students were compared and analyzed.Long-term memory was chosen as the criterion of memory,attention distribution,attention span,attention stability and attention conversion ability were tested by Attention Test,and Flanker classical paradigm was used to evaluate the performance of subjects.The data collected were summarized and processed,and the differences of cognitive indicators between the experimental group and the control group were tested on the basis of balancing pre-experiment cognition.Research results:1.Long-term basketball can effectively enhance the memory of College students.2.Long-term basketball can effectively enhance college students' attention.3.Long-term basketball can effectively enhance college students' executive inhibition ability.Research conclusion: Long-term basketball can enhance the specific cognitive function of College students.Specifically,the long-term intervention of basketball can enhance the memory of College students,and significantly improve their attention distribution ability,attention span and attention transfer ability.After discussion,this study considers that this is mainly due to the higher body exercise,and also related to the methods and means covered by basketball intervention content,which contains more components related to cognition.
