Abstract
Background and Aim: The use of new training for improve the learning of beginners in executive skills such as shooting is one of the topics of interest in recent researches. The aim of research was to investigate the effect of a course of resistance training and neurofeedback on improving shooting skills and neural performance of military beginners.
Methods: For this purpose, 25 people (mean age 20 years and weight 73.8 kg) were randomly selected and using the pre-test-post-test plan, shooting score, and supraspinal nerve function. Using TMS, before and after 12 sessions of resistance training with SMR and Alpha, it was studied in five resistance, resistance-neurofeedback, neurofeedback, Sham, and control groups.
Results: Multiple variance analysis in the graphpadprism9 software showed that in intra-group changes, the shooting score in resistance-neurofeedback (P<0.0001), resistance (P = 0.0229), and neurofeedback (P = 0.0241) increased, and the amplitude decreased significantly in the resistance-neurofeedback (P = 0.0115), but latency increased only in resistance training (P>0.05). The follow-up test between groups in the post showed that the changes in the shooting score and the amplitude in the resistance-neurofeedback were not significantly different compared to other groups.
Conclusion: Considering the importance of muscle strength and brain functions regarding the proper performance of the shooter and according to the results of this research, it can be said that the use of training methods to strengthen muscles and improve the function of brain waves related to shooting skills, probably at the same time Strengthening the supraspinal nerve function improves part of the learning process and skill implementation in this field.
