It has long been known that the human pupil of the eye will dilate when a high level of attention is obtained. This can be used to measure if a person is actually paying attention when learning new tasks. Attention is known to correlate very closely to learning ability. In fact, it is crucial to learning.

However, research on measuring attention during exercise is lacking, but could have many benefits especially when learning new motor skills or re-learning old motor skills after injury.

Measuring attention using EEG equipment during exercise was attempted in the Spring of 2018 but without much success. Perhaps the pupil dilation method will be more successful.
