Abstract
Introduction: The exploration of brain activity within the context of sports has garnered considerable attention from researchers, driven by the quest to unravel the intricacies of cognitive processes during athletic performance. Numerous studies have delved into the examination of cortical activity patterns and disparities across various sporting scenarios. A noteworthy focus has emerged on discerning potential divergences in brain activity among players. The primary objective of this study was to meticulously scrutinize and elucidate the variances in electroencephalographic (EEG) activity between the specialized roles of goalkeepers and forwards among professional football players.
Methods: 14 goalkeepers and 12 forwards, all male participants aged between 19 and 28 years, was enlisted f. EEG activity was meticulously recorded
in seated position with closed eyes for a standardized duration of 5 minutes. To discern potential discrepancies, the mean relative power of EEG activity for each frequency band was subjected to rigorous comparison between the two groups, employing the robust statistical tool of independent samples t-test.
Findings: The study yielded compelling evidence of notable differences in the relative power of EEG activity across between goalkeepers and forwards, highlighting specific frequency bands and electrodes as crucial differentiators. These findings underscore the potential of EEG activity as an insightful sensory indicator for unraveling cognitive and performance differentials inherent in the diverse roles of goalkeepers and forwards within the realm of professional football.
Discussion:The study suggested that EEG activity stands poised as a valuable tool for identifying cognitive and performance nuances between football players. Nevertheless, a comprehensive understanding necessitates further research to establish a robust correlation between EEG activity and actual on-field performance. Future investigations should cast a wider net, exploring the potential impact of extraneous factors such as fatigue and stress on the EEG activity of football players. Furthermore, the prospect of leveraging real-time EEG feedback as a training and performance optimization tool warrants exploration. A more in-depth exploration is imperative to fully harness the potential of EEG activity as a sensory indicator for cognitive and performance disparities between distinct football player positions, with broader applications in training and performance optimization extending beyond football to other sports.
