SMR/theta節律比值神經回饋訓練對高爾夫推桿表現之影響

Abstract

本研究主要目的為探討SMR/theta節律比值神經回饋訓練對於高爾夫球專家之高爾夫球推桿表現的影響。過去神經回饋訓練促進運動表現的研究發現，對於運動表現有提升的效果。然而提升的效果是否為透過改變參與者控制大腦腦波的歷程路徑目前還尚未明瞭；此外神經回饋訓練是否具有保留效果目前還不得而知，而比值的訓練方式是否較單一頻率段的訓練更有效率也尚未清晰。有鑑於此本研究招募了17位專家高爾夫球選手，經過神經回饋不反應者排除後分派至真假回饋訓練組，兩組分別在前測後經過10次真、假回饋，隨之進行後測，後測7天後測量保留測驗以檢定推桿表現，以推桿進球數、SMR/theta相對功率比值、主觀視覺類比量表在三階段之改變。結果發 現兩組在前測、推桿進球數以及腦波相當，經過分別10次的真假回饋後，真回饋組腦波提升、主觀感受提升、以及推桿表現皆顯著優於假回饋組；並且腦波、推桿表現可以至少保留七天。因此推論高爾夫球選手在經過10次的SMR/theta節律比值神經回饋訓練後，可以藉由提升對腦波控制能力這個路徑促進推桿表現。Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of SMR/theta ratio training on putting performance in golf experts. Previous study suggested neurofeedback training (NFT) has a facilitative effect on sports performance. However, whether NFT improves sports performance via the controlling of brain oscillation, the retention of training effects, and whether the ratio was an effective training target remained unclear. Method: The present study recruited 17 expert golfers, and assigned them into the pseudo-training group and NFT group. Participants underwent 10 sessions of either NFT or pseudo trainings after the pre-test. Retention tests were applied to participants 7 days after the post-test. Putting score and SMR/theta ratio were the dependent measures. Results: The results showed that NFT group improved putting performance, increased SMR/theta ratio after 10 sessions of SMR/theta NFT at post-test and retention test compared to the pseudo-training group. Conclusion: 10 sessions of NFT on SMR/theta ratio could improve putting performance in expert golfers.
