摘要: This study sought to determine if spatiotemporal skills, represented by success in high level sport, transfer driving and, so, whether such is mediated the gender of driver. Using an emergency-braking test, we compared ability male and female athletes non-athletes showed that achieved significantly longer therefore superior durations for time-to-contact. The advantage athletic participation thus did not appear movement time but rather produce desirable performance context. We found males females differ with respect driving, however, involvement sport apparently transfers aspects so provides benefits beyond intrinsic reward sports activities themselves.
