Abstract:   (658 Views)
Background. To achieve peak athletic performance, coaches can utilize mental manipulation through psychophysiological effects by maximizing brain potential, which enhances cognitive and motor performance via a neuropsychological approach in training programs.
Objectives. This study aims to explore the effects of brain gym activities combined with instrumental music on optimizing beta and gamma brain waves and improving concentration.
Methods. The study employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design involving 20 futsal athletes from the student activity unit of Universitas PGRI Silampari (UNPARI).
Results. Analysis results demonstrate a significant increase in beta and gamma brain waves and improved concentration among participants.
Conclusion. The findings indicate that combining brain gym activities and instrumental music effectively enhances brain activity and concentration. This research provides new insights into developing training strategies that optimize athletes' performance through a holistic approach, integrating physical and mental aspects
