There is a strong interest in what separates top-level performers from those who have yet to achieve the same level, across all performance domains. Advances in psychophysiology give insight into where these differences may lie in the minds and bodies of athletes. The present study compared gymnasts who were selected for the competitive lineup to those who were considered part of the Division I gymnastics beam squad but did not compete. This study compared their initial baselines, their response to heart rate variability and neurofeedback training, and their posttraining levels. Baseline differences existed for self-perception of consistency and confidence. There were no pre or post differences in heart rate variability measures. Sensorimotor rhythm electroencephalography (EEG) biofeedback training was associated with a decline in busy brain waves for the competitors. The competitors also had a lower ratio of intensity (intensity/high alpha) in both the pre- and post-EEG measures.

Objective: the study is to determine the effectiveness of EEG-biofeedback training on β-rhythm for correcting voluntary attention in children 6 – 8 years of age with the consequences of perinatal CNS lesions of hypoxic-ischemic genesis. Materials and methods: a total of 120 children aged 6 – 8 years who included 30 children with cerebrastenic syndrome (I group) were examined; 58 children with hyperactivity and attention deficit syndrome (II group); 32 children with cerebral palsy, spastic diplegia (III group). EEG-biofeedback training on β-rhythm correction was carried out in an amount of 15 sessions lasting 20 – 30 minutes on the Kinesis machine (Neurot, Russia). Before and after the biofeedback therapy, a psychodiagnostic evaluation of the functions of voluntary attention on the Toulouse-Pieron scale was carried out (in the adaptation of LA Yasyukova, 2001). EEG recording was performed on an EEG 21/26 encephalograph Encephalan-131-03, modification 10 (Manufacturer: NPKF Medikom MTD, Russia). For statistical analysis of the obtained indicators before and after treatment, the significance criterion was used to compare the two proportions (fractions) under the assumption that the variables are distributed according to the normal law (package STATISTICS 6.0). Results: the effectiveness of EEG-biofeedback training on β-rhythm correction was revealed, as evidenced by a significant decrease in the number of children with isolated types of attention disorders in all groups of patients as well as with mixed disorders in the II group. Conclusion: аctivation of cortical processes, increasing the level of attention, memory and cognitive abilities of the psyche, when EEG-biofeedback training is included in the therapy complex, depend on the nature and severity of central nervous system lesions in children with various nosological forms of neurological pathology, which requires rethinking of therapeutic complex methods of correction and selection of personalized biofeedback training protocols, taking into account data on various types of metabolic and neurophysiological abnormalities in the head in children with different nosological forms of neurological disorders.
