HRV biofeedback involves controlling the variation in time between heartbeats, promoting relaxation and recovery. Evidence shows it can improve athletic performance by enhancing focus and reducing stress under pressure.

EMG biofeedback measures muscle activity and tension, helping athletes to learn relaxation techniques. Studies have shown its effectiveness in injury recovery and prevention, as well as improving muscular control.

EEG biofeedback, or neurofeedback, assists athletes in achieving specific brainwave patterns, which can improve concentration and mental clarity. Evidence suggests it may enhance cognitive performance in sports.

This technique monitors body temperature, signaling stress and tension levels. Athletes use it to promote relaxation, with some evidence of effectiveness in sports like archery and shooting that require steady hands.

Respiratory biofeedback focuses on breathing patterns and helps to regulate breathing rate and depth, aiding performance through better oxygen supply and control over arousal levels. It has shown benefits in endurance sports.

GSR biofeedback measures sweat gland activity which reflects stress levels. By becoming aware of these stress indicators, athletes can work on emotional regulation, potentially benefiting sports that require composure.

Blood pressure biofeedback helps athletes monitor and control their blood pressure, which can affect performance, particularly in sports with sudden bursts of activity. Limited but promising evidence supports its usefulness for controlling arousal and performance anxiety.
