One of the common aims in EMG biofeedback application is to evaluate the efficacy of EMG biofeedback training; that is, to verify that a mastery of self-regulation has been achieved for a given criterion. Several researchers (Blumenstein, Bar-Eli, & Tenenbaum, 1995, 1997a; Zaichkowsky & Fuchs, 1986) have proposed approximate guidelines, summarized

See moreOne of the most robust findings in sport psychophysiology, at least from a group data perspective, is the association between left hemisphere alpha (8- to 13-Hz activity from sites on the left of the brain) and good performance in a variety of sports, including target sports (e.g. shooting: Hatfield, Landers, & Ray. 1984; archery: Landers,

For example, nearly 60% of the studies reviewed by Zaichkowsky and Fuchs (1988) that ex- amined the effect of EMG biofeedback reported positive effects on performance. However,thereviewsof Petruzzello,Landers,and Salazar(1991)andCollins(1995
The relevance of biofeedback interventions to athletic preparation is evident in the “psychophysiological principle” presented by Green, Green, and Walters ( 1970), which states that every physiological change is accompanied by a parallel change in the mental and emotional state and, conversely. every change in the mental and emotional state,...
