Electroencephalographic markers of CNS functional state in sport

All over the world, sports professionals are interested in attracting new technologies to work-out sessions to increase sportsmanship. Literature reveals that EEG markers of cognitive function dynamics, sensorimotor integration, and psychological stability are important in assessing the functional state of athletes. In addition to a high level of physical fitness, elite athletes develop cognitive skills specific to a particular sport. Besides they demonstrate high sensorimotor integration, improved attention, perception and information processing and other characteristics ensuring high performance. The review systematically analyzes publications devoted to the correlation between physical activity and CNS functional state. It is established that indicators of EEG alpha rhythm power and frequency are significant neurophysiological markers of cognitive function state. These indicators contribute much to studying highand low-intensity physical activity. The authors analyzed such databases as Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, Pubmed, Cochrane, Embase, Google Scholar, and eLIBRARY.
