Modelo de Inteligencia de Juego

Abstract

This thesis shows the development of a neurocognitive model based on neuropsychological processes to improve the game intelligence of grassroots and initiation athletes, amateurs and professionals. The state of the art of the term game intelligence and the cognitive processes involved in it, the basis of the model through neural networks and the programs in addition to the existing technology in the training of cognitive processes, was reviewed and developed, establishing a new definition of game intelligence. game applied to sport. The objective of this study was to implement a model for the diagnosis, development and increase of cognitive abilities that provides a structured method in terms of activities and processes that allow improving the relevant cognitive abilities in the areas of sport. The model was tested in an investigation that was carried out with 40 soccer players (men) between the ages of 14 and 17 in the pre-youth and youth category of the Club Atlético Galicia of the city of Ibagué. The population was divided into two groups of 20 players: control group and experimental group, to which the Neuropsychological test battery was applied and to the second group additionally, the neurocognitive model was implemented. The results were analyzed by means and principal component analysis, using the SPSS version 22 statistical package. Results: A high percentage of the cognitive processes evaluated showed a significant increase, and decision-making to a lesser extent. Conclusions: In this research it has been proven that the designed neurocognitive model greatly improves the cognitive processes in athletes, leading them to increase their performance and therefore to become more intelligent players on the playing field. The value proposition of the innovation, the applicability that it may have in world sport, is consigned in the different products carried out in the Doctorate, duly presented in this document that support contributions to knowledge, in particular the patent developed as protection of the innovative product, articles and congresses such as science and technology development, inter-institutional cooperation as interdisciplinary work for the application of scientific and technological knowledge.
