Elite athletes in extreme sports, such as freestyle snowboarders, demonstrate sophisticated control over their whole-body movements amid intense competitive pressure. The Snowboard Big Air competition necessitates precise management of riding speed, jump timing, and posture control during tricks. While the effects of cognitive pressure on physiological states and posture control are acknowledged, a previous study identified a positive correlation between precompetitive sympathetic predominance and subsequent jump performance in elite freestyle snowboarders, indicating their ability to convert
