What is biofeedback?
Biofeedback is an invaluable tool that can assist you in reaching your
riding goals. Specialized software enables quantifiable measurements
of heart rate and heart rate variability, relaying this information
to you immediately.
This process raises your awareness and conscious control of your unconscious
physiological activities. By gaining access to information about your
body that was previously unknown, you begin to gain control of your
state. You begin to train yourself in something referred to as self
regulation.
How can it help you?
Like any athlete engaged in performing a skill, the individual using
biofeedback uses self monitoring to improve performance. A rider adjusts
their body to alter their communication. With the assistance of biofeedback,
the same rider adjusts her state to sharpen her focus. Both types of
learning, physical and mental, are accomplished through observation
and training.
Biofeedback training can be utilized to resolve many types of performance
issues. Among them: performance anxiety,
physical fear, stress management, peak performance training, emotional
control, and focus control.
For younger riders and those of us adults who just like to play, there are also biofeedback games that can help you learn while you are having some fun!
