Background. Basketball is a dynamic sport where athletes are expected to observe the fast movements of team players and opponents in a performance. This condition requires a collective focus on the stipulated tasks, to achieve peak performance. Besides, training is frequently performed to improve concentration and athlete performance. This instigates the need for technology-based methods, including the NeuroTracker 3D MOT.
Objectives. This study aims to examine differences in the effect of NeuroTracker 3D MOT and conventional training on the concentration and game performance of basketball athletes.
Methods. This experimental study involved a pre and post-training session design, and the treatments were provided to 21 university basketball athletes. Furthermore, a total of 12 NeuroTracker 3D MOT training were performed by the experimental group, while the control was provided with conventional training. Subsequently, Concentration Grid Test (CGT) was used to measure the concentration, and FIBA-LiveStats were collected to evaluate the game statistics and athlete performance.
Results. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the effect of NeuroTracker training and conventional training on increasing concentration. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the effect of NeuroTracker training and conventional training on improving game performance.
Conclusion. The practice of NeuroTracker 3D MOT training positively influenced concentration. However, there are no significant differences in contrast to conventional training on game performance.
