A high-level athlete needs, apart from optimal physical condition,<\/strong> great mental and psychological preparation. For this reason, Neuroscience has an important role in sport<\/g>. An athlete or a player has to control their stress and anxiety and emotions in order to respond to any adversity that comes their way. <\/p>\n

Neuroscience is used in high-level competition sport to understand the relationships between the brain and the motor possibilities of our body<\/strong>. Or to understand the impact of various factors on motor learning, such as fatigue, thirst, anxiety or sleep. <\/p>\n

Neuroscience takes on importance in sport <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Neuroscience helps an athlete to be better able to face decisive situations in a competition, especially in important situations<\/strong>. In addition, it allows us to understand the relationships between the brain and the motor choices of an athlete’s body. The Bankinter Innovation Foundation<\/a> is organising a Future Trends Forum on Neuroscience<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This science can provide information about how the brain acts in physical activity or how to coordinate the body’s movements effectively. <\/strong> <\/p>\n

It should not be forgotten that the frontal lobes and the cerebellum are essential in sport<\/strong>, which is responsible, among other things, for mechanizing the complex sequences of sport-specific movements. So the more it develops, the easier it will be to control the muscle fibers necessary at all times. The fear of failure and learning can completely obstruct a sport. <\/p>\n

In sports such as tennis, cognitive abilities and the management of emotions play a very important role<\/strong> in achieving high performance. The clear example that Neuroscience is very important in this sport is in the Spanish tennis player, Rafa Nadal<\/g>. Since one of his strengths is his mental strength, that is why in the important moments of the matches he knows how to handle anxiety or fear and has a great capacity for concentration. <\/p>\n

Mirror neurons <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mirror neurons are essential in sports activity<\/strong>, as they are activated when we perform a specific action or see another person do that action. They allow you to make the actions or emotions of others your own. <\/p>\n

For example, in the initial phase of learning in football, thanks to mirror neurons, the coach can show the players how to perform a movement.<\/strong> These neurons also make players synchronize with the rest of the players in team sports by observing their behavior. Will Neuroscience increase its importance in sport in the coming years? <\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
