IL MONITORAGGIO PSICOFISIOLOGICO TRAMITE BIOFEEDBACK AND NEUROFEEDBACK: un approccio interdisciplinare per il miglioramento e l’ottimizzazione della performace in ambito sportivo Obiettivo del Webinar Sempre più il mondo sportivo guarda con interesse alla psicologia dello sport e questo interessere ha fatto si che l’analisi dei processi psicofisiologici sottostanti la prestazione sportiva sia cresciuta in maniera esponenziale. La procedura del neuro-biofeedback si è ricavata un ruolo importante in questo ambito fornendo valide informazioni che riguardano l’atleta e che consentono in questo modo di comprendere la prestazione in tutta la sua complessità.

The presentation overviewed the evidence base that is available, and identified specific needs for further research and training on the use of mind-body therapies with children and teens. Two case studi...
