Application of Psychophysiological Methods in Sport Science Research

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

A psychophysiological perspective offers many opportunities for the advancement of sport theory and practice. This Special Issue aims to bring together a number of papers describing studies that have utilized innovative approaches relying on cutting-edge technology in psychophysiology and neuroscience, to help us to better understand the psychology of human performance, offer new possibilities for performance-enhancing interventions, and suggest new and hopefully efficacious approaches for enhanced sport performance.

The analysis of the psychophysiological response allows a precise and objective evaluation of the adaptation of the organism to the sports and/or motor context. In this sense, it is perceived from an enrichment perspective in the cognitive, emotional, or behavioral evaluation that occurs, resulting as a complementary dimension of great help in the interpretation of motor behavior.

All researchers who use the measurement of psychophysiological components are invited to send us their research in a way that allows progress in this exciting field of study and research.
