The aim of our research consists of investigating the spatial orientation and concentration of attention (expressed through attention efficiency coefficient) at female non-athletes, artistic gymnasts and handball players. To solve the research matters we used the Spatial Orientation test (component of the computerized platform of psychological evaluation Cognitrom Assessment System, developed by Cognitrom) and Attention Concentration and Mobility CMA test (within PSISELTEVA tests, elaborated by RQ Plus). The application of the Mann-Whitney test, revealed statistically significant differences, regarding spatial orientation between the handball players and the female non-athletes and also, concerning attention efficiency coefficient between the artistic gymnasts and non-athletes.
