Description
Summary:The present exercise had the main objective of analyzing the executive performance in a group of high performance athletes compared to a group of sedentary people and another group of people that perform physical activity. A quantitative, non experimental, transversal with descriptive-correlational reach methodology was applied for this study and the investigative sample was chosen through a non-probabilistic method of intentional type. The data was obtained through the application of The BRIEF-A (abbreviated version) and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test beta version with 32 stimuli, as well as a characterization form. Significant differences were found between the study groups, with no normal distributions in the physical activity group. Emotional control is the variable that most influences global executive behavior. Perseveration is related inversely proportional to working memory. High athletic performance is associated with working memory, flexibility, control, change and organization. The level of executive functions depends on the function cooperation of the orbitofrontal and ventro medial pre frontal cortex, frontal medial and dorsolateral cortex, and in order to establish a high level of athletic competitiveness, a high degree of inhibition, working memory and flexibility is required along with the ability of projecting a high level of behavioral restraint, emotional control and metacognitive ability for task tracking and adaptation to change.
