Description
Handbook of Sport Neuroscience and Psychophysiology by Roland A. Carlstedt offers an in-depth exploration of the brain and mind-body processes that drive sports performance. This volume bridges the gap between sport science, sport psychology, and neuroscience, providing a comprehensive resource for students, researchers, practitioners, and coaches.

The book is divided into two main sections: the first focuses on the foundations of anatomy, physiology, and neuroscience, while the second applies this knowledge to sports contexts such as competition, training, and mental training. Featuring the latest research and techniques, the handbook covers neuropsychology, psychophysiology, and biofeedback to optimize athletic performance, recovery, and rehabilitation.

Key Features
• Comprehensive exploration of the neuroscience and psychophysiology of sport performance
• Covers topics from foundational theories to applied research in sport psychology
• Emphasizes ecological approaches and the role of biofeedback, neuroimaging, and EEG in sports
• Offers insights into optimizing athletic performance, coping with challenges, and recovering from injuries
• Relevant to clinicians, scientists, students, coaches, and athletes
