Background and Purpose
Biofeedback is a method of prevention, care, and treatment based on the mind-body connection. By using electronic equipment and modern technology, it helps people become aware of psycho-physiological processes and control them. Your mind tells your body what movements will make you perform a skill well, and your body tells your mind what it experiences while performing that skill. Athletes and coaches understand that almost all physical activities and sports behaviors are influenced by the mind, making biofeedback an important way to improve sports performance. Biofeedback technology plays a special role in sports psychology, especially in training mental skills. This technology involves recording and returning biological information to the practitioner. In simple terms, biofeedback includes measuring and providing biological information (feedback) about a person, such as heart rate. Through biofeedback, individuals can see information about their bodies that they may not usually pay attention to or are unaware of. Hand temperature, blood pressure, breathing rate and depth, muscle tension level, hand skin perspiration (measured through skin conductivity), and brain electrical activity can all be measured with biofeedback. This technology gives individuals the opportunity to make small adjustments to their performance.
Materials and Methods
The research method used in this study is semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design. The participants in this research are the top badminton players from the provincial team and badminton leagues. The statistical sample was selected using purposive sampling, and the participants were randomly divided into two groups: experimental and control. The level of arousal was evaluated based on galvanic skin response using the Procomp 2 device, and performance changes were measured with the Badminton French test in the pre-test and post-test stages. The experimental group received 10 sessions of HRV biofeedback training, starting with breathing exercises and then adding heart rate training. The control group continued with their regular training routines. Data analysis was conducted using a covariance test in SPSS software.
Results
The findings of this study showed that HRV biofeedback training improves badminton sports performance, with more favorable values seen in skin galvanic response stimulation. These changes were evident when comparing the pre-test results with the control group. The usefulness of biofeedback in improving badminton players' performance was proven. The results suggest that biofeedback training can enhance the success of badminton players and help them consciously regulate their arousal levels. Further confirmatory studies are needed to explore these findings. The study applied biofeedback training to a group of badminton players and compared their performance and motivation with the control group.
Conclusion
Biofeedback training can enhance the performance of badminton players and help regulate their arousal levels. The relationship between arousal and performance is a controversial topic in sports psychology, with many studies exploring it and presenting various theories. One theory suggests that each individual has an optimal performance range where arousal levels are ideal for peak performance. These optimal performance ranges are specific to tasks and environmental factors.
