Development of a Performance Model for Amputee Football Players
Development and Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Performance Model for Amputee Football Players
This study aims to investigate the effects of a cognitive game-based exercise program on cognitive and physical performance in amputee football players. Participants will complete a structured exercise program incorporating cognitive game activities designed to simultaneously stimulate cognitive and motor functions. Cognitive and physical performance outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention. The findings are expected to provide evidence regarding the potential benefits of integrating cognitive game-based activities into exercise and rehabilitation programs for amputee football players.

Detailed Description
Amputee football is a physically and cognitively demanding sport that requires rapid decision-making, attention, visuospatial processing, balance, coordination, and sport-specific motor performance. Therefore, training approaches that simultaneously target cognitive and physical functions may contribute to the performance of amputee football players.
This study aims to investigate the effects of a cognitive game-based exercise program on cognitive and physical performance in amputee football players. The intervention will incorporate structured cognitive game activities into an exercise program to provide simultaneous cognitive and motor stimulation. The activities will involve cognitive demands such as attention, concentration, planning, problem solving, decision-making, and visuospatial processing together with physical tasks.
Participants will undergo baseline assessments of cognitive and physical performance before the intervention. Following completion of the intervention program, the same outcome measures will be repeated to determine changes in cognitive and physical performance. The study will examine whether a structured cognitive game-based exercise approach can improve selected cognitive and physical performance outcomes in amputee football players.
The results may contribute to the development of multidimensional training approaches that integrate cognitive and motor components in amputee football and may provide a basis for future exercise and rehabilitation programs for athletes with lower-limb amputation.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: Experimental Arm - Gince Cognitive Game-Based Exercise Group
Participants in this group will receive the Gince cognitive game-based exercise program in addition to their usual amputee football training. The program is designed to improve cognitive and physical performance through structured game-based activities. |
The intervention consists of a 10-session cognitive game-based exercise program using the Gince Intelligence Game. The program is administered in addition to routine amputee football training and is designed to stimulate cognitive and physical performance through game-based activities. |
|
Experimental: Control Arm - Usual Training Group:
Participants in this group will continue their usual amputee football training without receiving the Gince cognitive game-based exercise program during the intervention period. |
Participants will continue their usual amputee football training program throughout the study period without receiving the additional Gince Intelligence Game-based exercise intervention.
