Evaluation of Cognitive Load in Competitive Sports
Scientific evaluation of training load is key to optimizing sports performance and preventing sports in-juries.Studies at present focus on mechanical and physiological aspects with a distinct lack of attention to cogni-tive aspect.The role of cognitive load in modulating sports performance is widely recognized,but there are still many difficulties and barriers to the evaluation of cognitive load,and the lack of appropriate evaluation methods is the main cause of this phenomenon.This paper explores the evaluation of cognitive load in competitive sports by using the methods of literature review,expert interviews and logical analysis.The results reveal that the eval-uation of cognitive load in competieive sports can be carried out with the help of the methods of self-report,be-haviour measures and physiological measures.However,to improve the validity of the evaluation,it is often nec-essary to integrate and use multiple subjective and objective methods and techniques.
