Functional Neuroanatomy

In order to perform a simple squat, the brain uses a variety of data from the environment, in addition to the technique for the exercise. This information enters the brain via receptors and thereby offers many possibilities to influence the quality of the data positively or negatively.

When the brain receives optimal information about the environment, it can adjust body functions accordingly, enhancing the performance of the athlete. Neuroathletics coaches help athletes improve the flow of information. Exercises, such as increasing attention and concentration, improving coordination and movement sequencing, enhancing body awareness and supporting learning, are used.

The goal of these exercises is to improve brain-body communication and restore optimal function of the central nervous system. This increases the responsiveness of the body to the environment, which leads to an increase in performance for athletes. In addition, this contributes to an overall improvement in athletic performance, as athletes are better at responding to stressful situations and recovering more quickly.

In this subject, learners take a deeper look into neuroanatomy and cover the topics of "Receptors and Peripheral Nerves". In addition, the anatomy of the brain is examined in detail and the functions of the brain areas are learned.

Participants also learn how the brain processes and stores information, and how it controls motor and sensory functions.
