TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Analysis of cognitive abilities in female swimmers JO - International journal of aquatic research and education A1 - Bekendam, N. A1 - Díaz, G. A1 - García, O. SP - e6 EP - e6 VL - 12 IS - 1 N2 - This study compared the differences in spatial relations, spatial ability, and reasoning ability between female swimmers and sedentary people. Fifty-eight participants (24 swimmers and 34 sedentary females) were recruited to complete the PMA E & R tests (Primary Mental Ability Test) and the DAT-SR test (Differential Aptitude Test).

FINDINGS indicated that swimmers scored higher in spatial relations, spatial ability, and reasoning ability. The practice of competitive swimming appears to have a positive relationship with the spatial relation, spatial ability and reasoning ability. © 2019 Human Kinetics Publishers Inc..
