Supports biofeedback integration into collegiate sprint training; extends multimodal psychoregulatory evidence to performance outcomes.
Blumenstein et al. (1995) conducted an RCT in Athletic performance (n=39). Psychoregulatory treatment (autogenic, imagery, and music training) with biofeedback vs. Placebo and control groups was evaluated on Physiological components (HR, GSR, EMG, breathing frequency) and athletic performance (100-m run). Biofeedback combined with autogenic, imagery, and music training significantly augmented physiological components and 100-m run performance in college students.
