Cognitive CAMSA: an ecological proposal to integrate cognitive performance into motor competence assessment.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To profile the participants using a system of self-organizing maps (SOM) based on their motor and cognitive performance during a dual-task version of the Canadian Agility and Movement Skill Assessment (Cognitive CAMSA).

Methods

A total of 169 secondary school students (39.3% girls) volunteered to participate. The original CAMSA, cognitive CAMSA, the Corsi and Digit Span tests were used to assess (a) motor competence, (b) motor competence with cognitive load, and (c) cognitive performance, respectively. SOMs and the k-means clustering algorithm were used to establish the adolescents' dual-task performance profiles.

Results

Including decision making based on verbal and visual cues in the original CAMSA significantly increased the participants' total score
