Psychomotor and Psychology in Sport Laboratory

Laboratory of Psychomotor and Psychology in Sport is equipped with advanced research apparatus designed for the analysis of cognitive processes and the assessment of psychomotor performance. It is utilized for statutory research, grant projects, and doctoral theses at the University of Rzeszów, Faculty of Physical Culture Sciences. Laboratory of Psychomotor and Psychology in Sport also conducts part of the educational activities for students of the Physical Education program, including training on the use of specific measurement devices. In addition, the laboratory conducts scientific research into the assessment of psychomotor performance in team sports games and individual sports, taking into account the different training levels of the participants.

Laboratory of Psychomotor and Psychology in Sport is equipped with advanced research instrumentation, including:
1. Vienna Test System (VTS) – a set of diagnostic tools utilized in psychology and psychometrics, designed to assess psychomotor performance and cognitive abilities. This system is employed to evaluate an individual's response to stimuli, visuomotor coordination, and information processing speed.
2. Test2Drive – an innovative computer-based testing system that assesses the speed and appropriateness of reactions, visuomotor coordination (psychomotor skills), as well as the effectiveness of attention, perception, anticipation, memory, and situational reasoning (cognitive processes).
3. EEG DigiTrack is widely used in research on cognitive functions such as attention, memory, perception, and thought processes by monitoring changes in brain electrical activity during the performance of specific cognitive tasks. Furthermore, electroencephalography (EEG) is employed in the analysis of brain responses to social stimuli, including phenomena such as empathy, compassion, and verbal and non-verbal communication processes. Due to its non-invasive nature and high measurement precision, EEG is an essential tool in neuropsychological research on brain function as well as in the diagnosis and monitoring of various neurological disorders.
