Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the influence of extreme physical strain on cognitive abilities of competitors following the Croatian adventure race "Terra Incognita Adventure Race Croatia 2007", by using Digit Symbol Substitution test. 32 competitors, who finished the race within the time limit of 100 hours, were tested before and after the race. Mean DSST lesult before the race was 61,03±9,71, and mean DSST result after the race was 63,56±9,23. The result was slightly improved but without a significant difference (p=0.067). We have concluded that athletes in this sport are both mentally and physically extremely well prepared for adventure racing, so that their visual-spatial, perceptive and motor abilities measured by DSST, even with rest and sleep deprivation that usually accompany such races, remain unchanged.
