SELECTED QEEG RATIOS IN THE DISGNOSIS OF SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS AMONGST BASKETBALL PLAYERS
Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2013, Vol 11, Issue 4
Abstract
Ways are sought within sports science to determine competitors’ potential achievements. One of the ways in which this may be tested is by examining the electrical activity of the sportsman’s brain. The subject of research was an attempt to describe those neurophysiological parameters (Theta/Beta ratio, Theta/SMR ratio) which could have an impact in the obtaining of high levels of sporting success in basketball. Two groups took part in the research: 1/ sportsmen who played basketball and 2/ students of the University of Physical Education and Sport in Gdansk. To determine the neurophysiological ratios of attention concentration and anxiety the QEEG method was applied. Registration of the EEG signal was conducted from the Cz point in accordance with the 10-20 system. Testing was conducted by means of a FlexCompInfinity coder, with the use of an EEG-Z sensor with an inbuilt function for the measurement of impedance. In each testing condition (eyes open, closed and attention con centration) the basketball players display a lower Theta/Beta ratio and Theta/SMR ratio when compared to the student group. The values of the Theta/Beta ratio and the Theta/SMR ratio may constitute an important source of information on the subject of QEEG markers used in the diagnosis of sporting achievements for those practising basketball.
