ABiofeedback and EEG Neurofeedback have been used to enhance performance in sports for the past decade. This workshop will present Biofeedback and Neurofeedback strategies and protocols to enhance sports performance.
Participants will learn how to integrate Heart Rate Variability (HRV), GSR and EMG biofeedback training with sports consultations with athletes. Specific strategies on teaching athletes to increase Low Frequency activity in the HR spectrum while using paced breathing and RSA training will be presented. We will explain how cognitive restructuring is used to eliminate “stinkin thinking” and enhance the “quiet mind”. Pitfalls and barriers to successful use of HRV training (by catering to individual needs of each athlete) will be reviewed.
This workshop will also discuss the use of EEG Neurofeedback for peak performance with athletes. The use of QEEGs to guide Neurofeedback will be presented. Protocol selection and performance monitoring will be reviewed.
