Abstract

Modern training methods to improve the learning of beginners in executive skills such as shooting is one of the topics of interest in recent researches. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a course of resistance training and neurofeedback on shooting indices related to psychological performance in military beginners. By using pretest -posttest plan and using the electronic scoring system, the shooting performance of 25 beginners, before and after 12 sessions of resistance training and reinforcement of SMR wave in C4 and reinforcement of alpha wave in F3 was studied .Statistical analysis was done using Graph Pad Prism 9 software and considering 5% measurement error, and it was found that training interventions increased the shooting score in resistance(P=0.0011), resistance-neurofeedback(p<0.0001) and neurofeedback(P=0.0014) groups; decrease in shooting speed in resistance (P=0.0014), resistance-neurofeedback(P<0.0001) and neurofeedback(P=0.0372) groups, increased stability in resistance(P=0.0005), resistance-neurofeedback(P<0.0001) and neurofeedback(p=0.029) groups. But accuracy did not change significantly. Also, the follow-up test between groups in the post-test showed the changes in the shooting speed in the resistance-neurofeedback group compared to the resistance group(P=0.0124) and the stability in the resistance-neurofeedback group compared to the resistance group(P=0.0315) and neurofeedback(p =0.0001) has been better.
