The Monitor, Integrate, Periodize, Analyze Flow Chart is designed to provide you comprehensive information in a single chart, enabling you to understand how to monitor, integrate, periodize, and analyze cognitive training effectively.
It begins with the Mental Fatigue Monitoring Protocol, which shows you how to assess cognitive performance using the PVT-B task before and after training sessions to measure reaction time and lapse counts. Based on these assessments, it determines readiness for subsequent training.
The Integration Strategies section outlines various training approaches (Pre-Training, Intermittent, Concurrent, and Post-Training) to effectively combine cognitive and physical exercises.
The Cognitive Periodization section shows you different options for periodization such as progressive overload and undulating periodization to enhance training intensity, duration, and frequency.
The Cognitive Metrics Analysis (Mean) and Minute on Minute (MoM) Metrics Analysis sections provide detailed information for assessing cognitive data.
Finally, the Cognitive Baseline Analysis Simplified section offers actionable insights when significant improvements (over 5%) are observed or when performance plateaus, guiding adjustments to training tasks to maintain progress and adaptation.
