- Abstract
- This article presents evidence of effectiveness of 12-week concentration training program
with brainwave biofeedback on concentration ability and tennis performance. Eight male
tennis players were divided into two groups (Experimental and Control). Experimental
group (n = 4) completed a series of training program using the Q-Jump computer
system. Experimental task was one-set tennis singles with no-ad scoring system. The
participants responded to the Korean version of the Test of Attentional and Interpersonal
Style (TAIS) before and after the experiment. The results revealed that the concentration
training program (a) was effective in improving concentration intensity and duration, (b)
led to significant impact on attentional style, and (c) helped to improve tennis
performance. Correlational analyses revealed negative relationships between concentration
indices and unforced errors. Overall, these findings suggest that concentration is critical
mental skill in tennis and can be improved through systematic training program.
