The concentration of attention is a variable that affects the rapid execution of the snatch. In practice, it has been verified that in training and competition situations, the sprinters of the Cuban National Track Cycling Team show difficulty in breaking the inertia for the execution of the snatch, they are impatient and eager to get out of the block of started, leading to false starts. The objective of this study was oriented to evaluate the indices of attention concentration in a sample of sprinters from the national preselection. Methods and techniques were used: analytical-synthetic and inductive-deductive, observation, interview, Toulouse-Pierón cross-out test, and the Numerical Grid test to assess attention concentration indices, triangulation of information, and descriptive statistics. The main results allowed to verify deficiencies in the concentration of attention in the sprinters by team, prevailing the regular category and poorly with the highest figures. It was concluded that the difficulties manifested by the largest number of athletes affect the rapid execution of the snatch. These results demand a psychological intervention program to develop certain concentration characteristics.
