    El objetivo de este estudio fue testar un modelo no lineal del foco de atención imponiendo y sin imponer un pensamiento disociado durante un test cicloergométrico progresivo y máximo. Doce estudiantes previamente familiarizados con los procedimientos experimentales realizaron dos veces un test progresivo y máximo en cicloergómetro en dos condiciones diferentes: la primera, orientada a establecer su dinámica intrínseca, sin imponer ningún tipo de pensamiento, y la segunda imponiendo un pensamiento disociado (PD). Durante los test los participantes informaron cada 30s sobre su tipo de pensamiento (PD o PA -pensamiento asociado) a través de señales previamente convenidas. Las series individuales se dividieron en 10 intervalos temporales de intensidad creciente y se calcularon los porcentajes de PD y PA en cada una de ellas. Se encontraron porcentajes significativamente superiores de PA a partir del 6o intervalo de intensidad en el test con PD no impuesto (PDNI) (χ2 (12, 9) = 39.75; p < .001) y a partir del 8o intervalo en el test con PD impuesto (PDI) (χ2 (12, 9) = 70.65; p < .001). Los porcentajes de PD fueron superiores en el test PDI en 6 de los 10 intervalos de intensidad (p < .05). Los resultados demuestran la emergencia espontánea de PA durante el ejercicio progresivo y máximo confirmando el modelo no lineal del foco de atención.

    The objective of this study was to test a nonlinear model of attention focus imposing and non-imposing a dissociative thought during a progressive and maximum cycling exercise. Twelve students previously familiarized with the experimental procedures performed twice a progressive and maximum cycle ergometer test under two different conditions: first, and oriented to establish its intrinsic dynamics, without imposing any type of thought, and second, imposing a dissociative thought (PD). During the test the participants informed each 30s on their type of thought (PD or PA – associative thought) through previously agreed signals. The individual series were divided into 10 temporary intervals of increasing intensity and the percentage of PD and PA in each one of them was calculated. The median percentage of PA was significantly higher from the 6th interval of intensity onwards in the non-imposed PD test (PDNI) (χ2 (12, 9) = 39.75; p < .001) and from the 8th interval onwards in the imposed PD test (PDI) (χ2 (12, 9) = 70.65; p < .001). The percentage of PD was higher in the PDI test in 6 of the 10 intervals of intensity (p < .05). The results demonstrate the spontaneous emergence of PA during a progressive and maximum cycling exercise confirming the nonlinear model of attention focus.
