Methods: Judo black and white belt athletes performed both general and specific fitness tests while simultaneously completing a Stroop color-word test recorded by 64 electroencephalogram channels.
Results: Cognitive behavioral performance and event-related spectral perturbation (ERSP) present no differences between groups.
