Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Sports Science
  • Motor Control

Background:

  • Sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) activity is linked to automaticity in skilled actions.
  • The causal relationship between SMR activity and sports performance requires further investigation.
  • Neurofeedback training (NFT) offers a potential avenue to modulate brain activity for performance enhancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of SMR neurofeedback training (SMR NFT) on golf putting performance.
  • To determine if SMR NFT can enhance SMR power and improve accuracy in preelite golfers.
  • To explore the potential role of SMR activity as a biomarker for improved attention in sports.

Main Methods:

  • Sixteen preelite golfers were randomly assigned to either an SMR NFT group or a control group.
  • Electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded during putting tasks before and after an 8-session intervention.
  • Performance metrics (accuracy) and SMR power were analyzed to assess the effects of the intervention.

Main Results:

  • The SMR NFT group demonstrated significantly improved putting accuracy compared to the control group.
  • Participants in the SMR NFT group exhibited increased SMR power post-intervention.
  • These findings suggest a direct effect of SMR NFT on both brain activity and motor performance.

Conclusions:

  • SMR NFT is effective in enhancing SMR activity during action preparation.
  • SMR NFT leads to improved golf putting performance in preelite athletes.
  • Increased SMR activity may serve as an electroencephalogram (EEG) signature of enhanced attention processing, contributing to superior performance.
