This book was released on 1984 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the singular and combined effects of a progressive relaxation and biofeedback monitoring program upon Trait Anxiety, Sports Competition Anxiety, blood pressure, heart rate, and muscle tension as measured by EMG readings. The programs were administered over a six-week sequence, with pre-measures utilizing the Spielberger Trait Anxiety measure, the Sports Competition Anxiety Test, and Rotter's Locus of Control Test to evaluate the psychological parameters. In addition, blood pressure and resting heart rate data were collected one hour prior to three competitive duo meets and prior to "warm-up". EMG monitoring by biofeedback was accomplished through use of the Autogen 1100 Myograph at a band pass setting of 100 to 200 Hz. EMG measures were made by use of the Autogen 5100 Digital Integrator using time-averaged performance of each subject. These measures were independent of the analysis feedback. All pre-measures were gathered prior to the various treatment strategies. The subjects were 36 male collegiate varsity track and field athletes divided into one of four treatment cells containing nine subjects each. Each group met for a total of twelve one-half hour sessions and participated in either a cassette-taped Quieting Response program, a Quieting Response program with augmented EMG biofeedback, or EMG biofeedback alone. The control group was administered the assessment items and blood pressure and resting heart rate measures to include EMG time-averaging monitoring. In lieu of treatment, the control group attended twelve one-half hour sessions of passive rest and listened to "music of choice" during these sessions. Statistical analysis using repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that EMG measures were significantly reduced through the six weeks of training using relaxation training alone, biofeedback training, and combined relaxation/biofeedback training. There were no differences as a result of treatment effect for the variables for between group significance for any of the variables to include Trait Anxiety, Sports Competition Anxiety, Locus of Control, blood pressure, and resting heart rate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biofeedback training is a research methodology and training procedure through which people can learn voluntary control over their internal physiological systems. It is a merger of mUltiple disciplines with interest deriving from many sources-from basic understanding of psychophysiology to a desire for enhanced self-awareness. The goals of biofeedback are to develop an increased awareness of relevant internal physiological functions, to establish control over these functions, to generalize control from an experimental or clinical setting to everyday life, and to focus attention on mind/body integration. Biofeedback is explored in many different settings. In the university, biofeed back equipment and applications can be found in the departments of experi mental and clinical psychology, counseling, physiology, biology, education, and the theater arts, as well as in the health service (student infirmary). Outside the university, biofeedback may be found in different departments of hospitals (such as physical medicine), private clinics, education and self-awareness groups, psychotherapy practices, and elsewhere. Its growth is still expanding, and excite ment is still rising as a result of biofeedback's demonstration that autonomic functions can be brought under voluntary control and that the long-standing arti ficial separation between mind, body, and consciousness can be disproven.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The applicability of electromyographic biofeedback toward alleviating test taking anxiety was examined along with the effects of relaxation training on general anxiety, locus of control, test performance, and muscle tension during a test. The Achievement Anxiety Test (AAT) was administered to 271 freshman psychology students. Students whose scores indicated high levels of test anxiety were invited to participate in the study. Twenty-seven volunteers were randomly assigned to three groups. Biofeedback (B) subjects received verbal instructions and muscle tension (EMG) biofeedback. Instruction-control (IC) subjects received verbal relaxation instructions alone. A second control group (C) received no treatment. B and IC subjects received eight half-hour relaxation sessions spread over four weeks. Forehead EMG was monitored during each session. Several self-report measures were administered to all subjects before and after training. They included the AAT, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Rotter Locus of Control (I-E) Scale. Additionally, forehead muscle tension data were collected on all subjects while they completed an easy and a hard form of the Raven Progressive Matrices test (presented with ego-involving instructions). Equivalent forms of the tests were used pre and post, and the forms were counterbalanced across subjects. Analysis of the EMG data collected during relaxation training indicated that B and IC subjects significantly reduced forehead muscle tension but did not differ from each other. EMG biofeedback appears to add little to the effectiveness of brief relaxation instructions and practice. Analysis of anxiety measures indicated that B and IC subjects changed significantly pre to post while C subjects changed very little. No between -group differences were found on any of the measures. On the I-E scale, only IC subjects showed a significant shift toward being more internal, reflecting an increased belief in personal control. The effect of relaxation training on test performance and muscle tension during testing was evaluated with an analysis of variance. Within-group EMG and performance changes were nonsignificant, suggesting there was no generalization of training effects. In addition, EMGs did not differ between Easy and Hard tests, although performance scores indicated there were real differences in test difficulty. The effects of relaxation training in this study are clearly limited to the reduction of resting forehead muscle tension and self-report anxiety. No training effects were found on test performance or EMG during testing. These results are due either to the methodological limitations of a laboratory testing situation, or that forehead EMG is not as good a measure of anxiety as other researchers have suggested.
