Abstract

This article comprehensively analyzes the impact of parachutists' emotional state before a parachute jump on their cognitive processes. Parachute jumping is an extreme activity associated with high levels of stress, requiring maximum concentration, attention, and rapid processing from parachutists. The practical implications of these studies have also been discussed for preparing parachutists and developing emotional regulation strategies aimed at optimizing cognitive performance and ensuring safety during parachute jumps. The article is based on a comprehensive literature analysis, including publications from prestigious research platforms such as Google Scholar and Research Gate, and comparatively examines the work of leading researchers in this field.
