It was this study's aim to investigate the interaction and potential effect on performance by using typic...
متن کاملExpert-novice differences in SMR activity during dart throwing.
Previous evidence suggests that augmented sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) activity is related to the superior regulation of processing cognitive-motor information in motor performance. However, no published studies have examined the relationship between SMR and performance in precision sports; thus, this study examined the relationship between SMR activity and the level of skilled performance in task...
