過去探討大腦功能研究主要都關注在作業誘發的大腦活動,然而越來越多的證據指出,在沒有作業刺激和休息狀態下的靜息態大腦活動也具有功能性意義,並且與後續的作業表現有關係。目前競技運動表現和靜息態大腦活動的研究較為缺乏,過去研究較少從已知的自發性神經活動基礎背景知識角度出發,造成相關機制解釋深度不足。若是能了解靜息態大腦活動和運動表現之間的關係,未來可以提供運動員在上場前有效監控大腦狀態的方法。本研究回顧基礎認知神經科學中靜息態大腦活動的研究進展,提供未來競技運動研究所需的背景知識基礎跟研究方向。有鑑於此,本文共分為四個部分:第一、以神經生物學的角度探討自發性神經活動相關機制;第二、介紹靜息態神經活動和作業行為表現的關連,以及競技運動研究可以借鏡之處;第三、回顧目前競技運動領域裡相關的靜息態腦波的研究;最後,闡述目前研究的不足之處,並提供未來在學術與實務領域上可以改進與發展的方向。
In the past few decades, research in cognitive neuroscience and human brain has mainly focused on task-related brain activity. However, accumulating evidence showed that the "task-free" brain activity, or the spontaneous brain activity, is also functionally significant. In the sport domain, the relationship between spontaneous brain activity and performance is still unclear. Besides, little research has examined the neuroiological differences between task-induced and resting-state brain activities and mechanisms between resting brain activity and subsequent performance. Moreover, the neural mechanisms of sport performance are hardly investigated except accurate sports such as archery and shooting, due to the technical limitations of brain imaging. It is feasible to utlize resting-state brain activity for monitoring athletes' mental states before competition because resting-state EEG can be collected during the rest period. The purpose of this study was to review research regarding resting-state EEG and sport performance. First, we introduced basic neurobiological knowledge of spontaneous neural activity. Second, the relationships between resting-state brain activity and task performance were examined. Third, we further reviewed previous studies focusing on resting-state EEG in the sport domain. Lastly, several recommendations of practical applications and future research are provided.
