Abstract

Sport climbing requires a combination of physical and cognitive skills, with working memory (WM) playing a crucial role in performance. This study aimed to investigate the association between WM capacity and climbing ability, while considering potential confounding factors including sex, age, education level, and climbing experience. Additionally, the study compared prefrontal cortex (PFC) hemodynamic responses among different climbing ability groups and sex during WM performance. Twenty-eight climbers participated, with WM assessed using the eCorsi task and PFC hemodynamic responses measured with near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Initial linear regression analyses revealed no association between WM and climbing ability. However, significant associations were found after adjustment for covariates. Specifically, sex (p = .014), sex in conjunction with age (p = .026), sex combined with climbing experience (p = .022), and sex along with education level (p = .038) were identified as significant predictors of differences in WM between Expert and Elite climbers. Additionally, notable differences in PFC hemodynamic responses were observed between Expert and Elite climbers, as well as between sexes during the WM task, providing support for differences in WM capacity. This study contributes to understanding the complex relationship between WM capacity and climbing performance, emphasizing the need to account for influencing factors in assessments.

登山者的认知功能:工作记忆与攀岩表现的探索性研究。
运动攀岩需要身体技能和认知技能的结合,其中工作记忆(WM)在成绩中起着至关重要的作用。本研究旨在探讨工作记忆能力与攀岩能力之间的关联,同时考虑性别、年龄、教育水平和攀岩经验等潜在的干扰因素。此外,该研究还比较了不同攀岩能力组别和性别的前额叶皮层(PFC)在WM表现时的血流动力学反应。共有 28 名登山者参加了研究,他们使用 eCorsi 任务评估了 WM,并使用近红外光谱(NIRS)测量了前额叶皮层的血液动力学反应。初步线性回归分析表明,WM 与攀岩能力之间没有关联。然而,在对辅助变量进行调整后,发现两者之间存在明显的关联。具体来说,性别(p = .014)、性别与年龄(p = .026)、性别与攀岩经验(p = .022)以及性别与教育水平(p = .038)被认为是专家级和精英级攀岩者之间 WM 差异的重要预测因素。此外,在 WM 任务中,专家和精英攀岩者之间以及性别之间的 PFC 血流动力学反应存在明显差异,这为 WM 能力的差异提供了支持。这项研究有助于理解 WM 能力与攀岩成绩之间的复杂关系,强调了在评估中考虑影响因素的必要性。
