Historical Context:

In this study, recreational (Rec), semi-competitive (SC), and highly competitive (HC) gymnasts did an athletic task under conditions requiring low and high levels of concentration. Concentration level on a cognitive task was measured immediately, and 24 hours after an athletic task, using a test based on the Brickenkamp 2d Concentration Test. When a gymnastic task required an increase in concentration, there was an increase in concentration on a cognitive task. This was apparent for all three groups, and these effects were still evident after a period of 24 hours.
