SMR神經回饋訓練對女子職業高爾夫長桿表現之影響

Abstract

目的：本研究以神經效率假說為基礎，探討感覺動作節律（Sensorimotor rhythm, SMR）神經回饋訓練是否促進高爾夫選手長桿表現。過去研究證實提升SMR功率能有效分配注意力資源，使動作更加流暢及自動化，進而促進精準性運動表現。方法：本研究招募16名臺灣女子職業高爾夫選手，分為實驗情境與控制情境進行交叉實驗設計，透過單次性神經回饋訓練，探討對於SMR腦波狀態、高爾夫長桿表現、心理主觀感受之影響。將兩種情境隨機分派進行相依樣本t檢定考驗分析。結果：實驗情境中透過單次性神經回饋訓練後增強SMR功率，伴隨著長桿表現明顯進步，且心理主觀感受分數上在專注力與放鬆程度上亦有改善。結論：本研究為第一個使用ㄧ次性神經回饋訓練於高爾夫長桿表現之研究，研究結果顯示透過一次性神經回饋訓練來增加SMR功率對於擊球表現與專注力、放鬆感受上有正向影響，具有實際運用於高爾夫球運動科學訓練之價值。未來研究應進一步比較SMR功率與其他影響精準性運動關鍵腦波指標在長桿表現上之效果，找出最有效率之訓練手段。

Purpose: Based on the neural efficiency hypothesis, this study explores the effectiveness of sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) neurofeedback intervention on improving golfers’ long game performance. Past studies have demonstrated that increasing sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) is conducive to effective allocation of attention resources and improvement of movement automaticity, which results improved sports performance. Method: Based on the suggestions of previous empirical research, this study recruited 16 TLPGA golf players as participants. A crossover design with random assignment of order scenarios was employed to examine the impact of one session SMR neurofeedback training on golf long game performance and psychological subjective feelings. Result: The paired t-test revealed that the SMR power was enhanced after one session of neurofeedback training, which was accompanied by a significant improvement in the golf performance, subjective concentration, and relaxation. Conclusion: Present study was the first empirical research to use single neurofeedback training on golf long game performance. According to the research results, increased SMR power by one session of neurofeedback training has a positive impact on golf performance, which can not only promote the benefits of precise sports performance but also enhance the value of practical application of sport science training on golf. Future research should further investigate the effects of SMR power and other key cortical indicators that affect precision exercise on golf performance, and find the most efficient training method.
