New Book Review - HealthSpan: Redefined

HealthSpan: Redefined, by Dr. Sean Fletch, offers a clear and well-needed framework for thinking about long-term health and the ability to meet life’s demands over time.

This NeuroTracker study helped establish a key principle in perceptual-cognitive training: progressive overload can apply to cognition, as well as physical training.

Spanish Olympic athletes from water polo, taekwondo, and tennis completed 26 NeuroTracker sessions across three phases:

- seated training

- standing training

- motor-integrated training involving balance or sport-relevant movement

The most important finding was not just that scores improved.

When task complexity increased, performance briefly dipped — then recovered quickly as athletes adapted to the new dual-task demand.

The findings corroborate other NeuroTracker research, that this type of training can be used progressively:

- first building core perceptual-cognitive capacity

- then layer on motor demands

- maintain overall learning progression

The study reported statistically significant improvements from this dual-task training across several visual and attentional measures:

- static visual acuity

- stereopsis

- contrast sensitivity

- saccadic eye movements

- selective focused attention.

Athlete and coach ratings also improved across visual concentration, perceptual speed, and peripheral vision.

This was a quasi-experimental study and did not have a control group. However, it helped lay the foundation for NeuroTracker dual-task research.
