Working memory training is a rapidly growing market with potential to further expand in the future. Several computerized software programs promoting cognitive improvements have been developed in recent years, with controversial results and implications. In a distinct literature, aerobic exercise has been shown to broadly enhance cognitive functions, in humans and animals. We are attempting to bring together these two trends of research, leading to an emerging third approach: designed sports training. Specifically designed sports wrestling, fencing, martial arts which tax working memory by incorporating motion in three-dimensional space, are an optimal way to combine the benefits of traditional cognitive training and aerobic exercise into a single activity. Then, write an R script to answer the following questions, based on simulated data available here. All answers should be rounded to 2 significant digits.
