About this study
Official title: The Effectiveness of Psychological Skill Training on Quantitative Electroencephalogram (EEG) in Athletes Before the Competition
The investigator will determine the effectiveness of psychological skill training on quantitative EEG in athletes before the competition.
Read the detailed description
Psychological skills training is the mental training that can apply for increased athletes' performance to make athletes more confident. The objective of psychological skill training is to develop the potential of athletes to be able to show their abilities (Peak Performance), and to create satisfaction, self-esteem, for athletes. Additionally, the ability to concentrate and reduce anxiety could affect athletes' emotions and be ready to participate in the competition. Therefore, this study will apply psychological skills training for athletes. The effectiveness of psychological skill training will be measured by using quantitative EEG before and after training. The quantitative EEG assessments could demonstrate an anxiety level at different stages of the competition and it could reveal the changes caused by training. The intervention will begin 3 months before the competition. The quantitative EEG measurements are arranged 4-5 times following the previous study. The sequence of the measurement will be including a baseline: one month before the competition, two weeks before the competition, a week before the match, three days before the match (depend on the situation), three days after the match (post-training).

ControlOther
The participant in the control group will receive consultations by a sport psychologist for goal setting and positive thinking. The duration is similar to the training group (4-5 minutes in each session, 4 sessions per week for 1 month)
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention group | Experimental | The participant in the intervention group will practice breathing control and self-talk with objectives for relaxation. The duration of training is 4-5 minutes in each session, 4 sessions per week for 1 month. Receives: Behavioral: Experiment |
| Control group | Placebo comparator | The participant in the control group will receive consultations by a sport psychologist for goal setting and positive thinking. The duration is similar to the training group (4-5 minutes in each session, 4 sessions per week for 1 month). Receives: Other: Control |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
ฺBrain wave
to identify psychological change
Measured: Through study completion, an average of 5 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Revised Competitive State Anxiety Inventory: CSAI - 2R
Questionnaire for evaluate anxiety level. The participants will circle the number on the Likert scale from 1 to 4 of how they feel in that moment. The numbers 1 to 4 represent the following statements : 1 = Not at all 2 = Somewhat 3 = Moderately so 4 = Very much so. A higher score presents a higher anxiety level.
Measured: Through study completion, an average of 5 weeks
