Abstract
The proposed study aims to explore the boundaries of athletic performance from the perspective of neurofeedback. Focusing on athletes in clay target shooting, a population where effective use of attention is crucial for achieving the necessary precision and speed, this research has the potential to significantly impact this field. This study will use sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) neurofeedback training at the Cz point.
The results will examine the impact of SMR neurofeedback training on overall performance and performance changes over different time periods for clay target shooting athletes, comparing performance before and after the intervention.
The research method and data analysis will follow a single-subject design, utilizing sequential event analysis to assess performance over different periods. The effect size of the intervention will be measured and compared using Cohen's method and non-parametric methods.
The findings could pave the way for new training protocols that harness brain power to achieve peak performance, ultimately contributing to the advancement of sports science and the development of athletes. This raises the question of whether neurofeedback training exercises are effective in improving the performance of clay target shooting athletes.
