According to Mehr news agency, researchers from technical schools of Tehran University, during experiments on football players, found that the abilities of brain communication networks are necessary to determine the important areas of the brain related to football performance, and between agility and two-speed with the upper brain attention network (DAN) in football players. There is a relationship.
Dr. Hamid Soltanianzadeh, a professor at Technical Colleges of Tehran University and head of the research team of this project, said: “This study was conducted with the aim of the relationship between specific parameters of football and connecting resting state performance in football players.”
Professor of Electrical and Computer Faculty of Tehran University added: “25 professional football players who voluntarily participated in this experiment were studied.”
Pointing out that this study included a comprehensive assessment including measures of physical performance, skill performance and executive performance, he stated: “All participants underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at rest. The findings showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between agility and linear two-speed with the DAN network.
Dr. Soltanianzadeh further added: “In contrast to the aerobic fitness parameter, a significant negative correlation with the brain’s default mode network (DMN) showed a positive and significant correlation with the sensory and motor network (SMN) of skill functions (dribbling, passing and shooting). showed that DAN consistently shows the highest degree of centrality in various sports parameters”.
Professor of Tehran University emphasized: “The remarkable point was that the IPSL and IPSR areas in the DAN network consistently show the highest degree of centrality in various sports parameters.”
This study provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between physical performance, skill, and executive function in soccer players, as these factors are associated with the functional connectivity of specific networks in these players.
The findings of this research provide a fundamental understanding for future discoveries and potential applications in sports science and cognitive neuroscience to improve the performance of soccer players.
Alireza Fallahi, a postdoctoral researcher of Tehran University, and Maryam Noorshahi, Pouria Abbasi, and Yasmin Asadi, professors and students of Shahid Beheshti University, were other members of this research team.
In this research, the genetic characteristics of the players have not been investigated, and therefore it is not possible to comment on this matter.
