Abstract

Introduction: NEUROFEEDBACK is used not only for diagnosis and treatment of different disorders but also for improvement of healthy person's daily activity and its quality. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of NEUROFEEDBACK training on TRAIT-COMPETITIVE ANXIETY in athletes.Materials & Methods: The present study is semi-experimental and applied type of research, in which pre-test and post-test of three groups, including interventional, control and placebo, are compared. Therefore 36 volunteer athletes in both gendershave been chosen voluntarily and purposefully and organized into groups. Intervention was made in a form of increased Alpha-wave in O1 and O2 regions over 12 sessions. SCAT questionnaire was used for evaluation of TRAIT-COMPETITIVE ANXIETY state.Findings: Univariate analysis shows significant relationship between the actual NEUROFEEDBACK training and decreased TRAIT-COMPETITIVE ANXIETY state (p=0.015).Hoc test revealed the only significant discrepancy exists between interventional group and control group (P=0.009) and no significant difference exists between interventional group and placebo group (P=0.058) and between placebo and control group (P=0.477). That indicates a significant relationship between NEUROFEEDBACK training and anxiety reducetion in the experimental group (P<0.05).Discussion & Conclusion: Normal brain reaction to stress and anxiety is decreased Alpha-wave and increased beta-wave. Therefore when a person is faced to a stress situation, brain function is increased and beta-waves appear. Features that are reported for alpha-waves induce calm associated with alertness, mind integration and anxiety reduction.
