Effects of Cognitive Stress on the Temporal Anticipation of a Timing Motor Task

The study was designed to investigate the effects of cognitive stress on the temporal anticipation of a timing motor task. The experimental design applied was a repeated measures design with two independent variables (cognitive stress and levels of difficulty - easy, intermediate and difficult)....

Suppiah, Pathmanathan The study was designed to investigate the effects of cognitive stress on the temporal anticipation of a timing motor task. The experimental design applied was a repeated measures design with two independent variables (cognitive stress and levels of difficulty - easy, intermediate and difficult). The participants of this study consist of 18 male and 19 female undergraduates of the Physical Education programme of University Putra Malaysia. The participants were required to perform a timing motor across three levels of difficulty and under two conditions i.e. without cognitive stress and under cognitive stress.

Follow up comparisons revealed significant difference in the performance of the experimental task at the easy level without cognitive stress, intermediate level without cognitive stress and the easy level under cognitive stress.
