BACKGROUND: The use of neurofeedback is growing rapidly in sport psychology. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of one session of neurofeedback training on self-talk and motor performance of elite and non-elite volleyball players. METHODS: The subjects were 15 male elite volleyball players and 15 non-elite volleyball players. The research was conducted in three phases: pre-test, training neurofeedback and post-test. Training neurofeedback consists of sensorimotor rhythm and prevents training to the frequency of 12 Hz at T3. To analyze data, descriptive statistics and paired t-test was used. RESULTS: The results indicated that the use of self-talk for elite and non-elite decreased at post-test, but this dwindling for the elite group was higher. Standard service score for elite volleyball and non-elite in the pre-test to post-test improved, but this increase was higher in the elite. CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that there are effects among neurofeedback training, inner self-talk (analysis of skill) and athletic performance.
