Athletic Performance Enhancement Based onNeurorehabilitation and Sport-Related Skills

To define the brain networks that are involved in performance enhancement and certain forms ofsports activities, it is necessary for sports performance assessment to apply neurodiagnosticequipment including MRI, EEG, or fNIRS. This may help in identifying young athletes likely togrow into elite athletes or those with traits that could be groomed to become elite athletes. Trainingresults can also be increased by neuromodulation, which is the controlled modulation of the brainstates involved in training. However, it must be demonstrated that in athletes, transcranial directcurrent stimulation can facilitate motor skill acquisition and performance and if so, that ithyperrenders and is performance-relevant in specific disciplines. Thus, the challenges andopportunities presented by neuromodulation and its application to sports justify extended discourseabout its legal implications as well as risks of harm and availability of application domains.
