Resumo:Introduction: The dual-mechanisms of control (DMC) theory suggests that we act in two ways in performing a task, proactively maintaining the goal sustainably or reactively recruiting attention only when necessary. Endurance sports have the characteristic of maintaining the goal for an extended time, and the maintenance of this can be changed due to several stimuli (physical/mental), influencing physical performance. Objectives: To verify the effect of physical and cognitive demands on the predominance of cognitive control (proactive/reactive) in cycling. Methods: 16 males, young adults (29.4 ± 5.2 years), cycling practitioners (5.4 ± 4.6 years), normal body fat (22 ± 17.5%), classified as untrained cyclists ( 274.2 ± 47.9 watts), training frequency of 3.5 ± 1.5 days/week and 123.8 ± 60.5 kilometers/week. Experimental study had four visits, being the first one familiar with the scales and incremental test; second and third randomized sessions, one session counted on the cognitive test before physical exercise (10 km time trial against the clock) and in the control session they remained at rest with equivalent time; the fourth session was intended only for the evaluation of body composition. To evaluate cognitive control, the computerized AX-CPT test was used, based on the Proactive Behavioral Index (PBI). The Friedman test was followed by Dunn's post hoc test to analyze the effect of time on cognitive control. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: Physical exercise performed with previous cognitive demand caused a significant change in the reaction time of the PBI (PBI-RT) (x² (2) = 6,500, p = 0.039). The post hoc test revealed a significant decrease (median = 0.06 ms) between baseline when compared to cognitive and physical demand (p = 0.039). Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that the association of a cognitive and physical demand promoted a decrease of the proactive control and only the physical demand was not able to change the cognitive control.
