Sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) activity has been related to automaticity during skilled action execution. However, few studies have bridged the causal link between SMR activity and sports performance. This study investigated the effect of SMR neurofeedback training (SMR NFT) on golf putting performance. We hypothesized that preelite golfers would exhibit enhanced putting performance after SMR NFT. Sixteen preelite golfers were recruited and randomly assigned into either an SMR or a control group. Participants were asked to perform putting while electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded, both before and after intervention. Our results showed that the SMR group performed more accurately when putting and exhibited greater SMR power than the control group after 8 intervention sessions. This study concludes that SMR NFT is effective for increasing SMR during action preparation and for enhancing golf putting performance. Moreover, greater SMR activity might be an EEG signature of improved attention processing, which induces superior putting performance.
感觉运动节律（SMR）活动与熟练动作执行过程中的自主性有关。然而，很少有研究建立起SMR活动与运动表现之间的因果联系。本研究调查了SMR神经反馈训练（SMR NFT）对高尔夫球推杆表现的影响。我们假设，精英水平以下的高尔夫球手在接受SMR NFT训练后，推杆表现会有所提高。招募了16名精英水平以下的高尔夫球手，并将他们随机分为SMR组或对照组。在干预前后，要求参与者在记录脑电图（EEG）的同时进行推杆。我们的结果表明，在进行8次干预训练后，SMR组在推杆时表现得更准确，并且比对照组表现出更大的SMR功率。本研究得出结论，SMR NFT对于在动作准备过程中增加SMR以及提高高尔夫球推杆表现是有效的。此外，更强的SMR活动可能是注意力加工改善的脑电图特征，这会带来更出色的推杆表现。
