Dynamic cognitive development and creativity enhancement through martial arts movement drawing training and biomechanics: A multidimensional approach
Abstract
This study investigates the dynamic mechanisms underlying creativity development through martial arts movement drawing training and combined with relevant knowledge of biomechanics, emphasizing cognitive adaptability and neurophysiological engagement. Using experimental methods and independent sample t-tests, we assessed differences across five creativity sub-dimensions—fluency, originality, flexibility, sensitivity, and insight—between an experimental group and a control group. The results showed significant improvements in the experimental group following the training, whereas no substantial changes were observed in the control group. These findings indicate that martial arts movement drawing training not only involves observing, analyzing, and expressing dynamic actions, but also requires participants to coordinate various parts of the body during movement. This biomechanical interaction promotes the body’s movement efficiency and coordination, promotes perception, imagination, and cognitive flexibility, thereby enhancing creativity. By integrating creative expression with motor and sensory coordination, this study underscores the potential of dynamic, art-based interventions to enhance cognitive adaptability and functional plasticity. Principles of biomechanics, such as kinematics and kinetics, can further explain how participants’ training can promote the development of brain function by optimizing movement patterns and improving motor control. This research offers an innovative approach to creativity development, with implications for interdisciplinary studies in cognition, biomechanics, and artistic training.
