Abstract
Sports is an essential part of life for both physical and mental fitness. Sports as a competition require a high level of physical, technical, and mental fitness as they are always under pressure of winning. Psychological factors that affect performance enhance individual and team performance. To find out the psychological state of a sportsman we use brain mapping by IBVA (Interactive Brain Wave Analyzer) which gives us a data in form of brain waves of different frequencies-Delta (1-4Hz), Theta (4- 7Hz), Alpha (8-12Hz), Beta (13-28Hz) and Gamma (29-40Hz). Each brainwave has its own significance and an impact on their behavior and henceforth it will also affect the sportsmen’s performance. We are using this principal of measurement of brainwave patterns of sportsmen and analyze them to find out the dominant brainwave pattern when a sportsman is giving his best performance and also the worst performance so as to incorporate this into their rehabilitation program to physically and psychologically train the sportsmen to give his best performance every time. The brain wave patterns of various
