Effects of Play Attention Neurofeedback on Attention and Weightlifting Performance in Adolescent Weightlifters
Sponsor: Hasan Erdem Mumcu
Summary
This study looks at whether a 24-week neurofeedback training program called Play Attention can help adolescent weightlifters pay better attention and lift better. Neurofeedback is a computer-based training method that shows people real-time information about their own brain activity, so they can learn to control it. In this study, adolescent weightlifters take part in the Play Attention program over 24 weeks. Researchers measure the athletes' attention skills and weightlifting performance before and after the program to see whether the training made a difference. The goal is to find out if this kind of brain-training program could be a useful tool to help young athletes focus better and perform better in their sport.

Interventions
Play Attention Neurofeedback-Based Attention Training
A commercially available neurofeedback-based attention-training system combining software with a wearable BodyWave armband, an interface unit, and Bluetooth connectivity. Participants in the experimental group completed 40 training sessions (approximately 30-40 minutes each) over 24 weeks, in addition to their routine Olympic weightlifting training. The system provides real-time visual and auditory feedback based on attention-related signal activity during game-like cognitive exercises. It is a non-clinical, non-diagnostic system; no scalp EEG was independently recorded in this study.
