COGNITIVE REACTION AND DECISION-MAKING SPEED OF TRAMPOLINE ATHLETES DURING COMPETITIONS

This article examines the scientific and theoretical significance of cognitive reaction and decision-making speed in trampoline athletes during competitions. The complexity of movements in trampoline sport, along with time and spatial constraints, requires athletes to think quickly, concentrate attention, and make accurate decisions. The study analyzes the impact of cognitive processes – sensation, perception, attention, and thinking – on sports performance. Methods for developing decision-making speed under psychological pressure and their effects on athletes’ technical and functional readiness are also discussed. The findings are of significant importance for the effective organization of competitive activities of trampoline athletes.
