The Effect of Vagus Nerve Stimulation on Sportive Performance.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Performance is defined as the physiological potential required for an individual's physical activity. The sportive activity that he creates with his potential is defined as the sportive performance level of the individual. There are many factors that determine athletic performance. These factors are; environmental factors such as heredity, physical structure, training level, technical capacity and mental adequacy, quality of training areas, nutritional quality, suitability in weather conditions. All these factors affect the planning of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches that affect the performance of the athlete. Autonomic regulation is very important for the reorganization of the athlete's performance. Auricular vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a non-invasive method. With this method, autonomic nervous system regulation can be done practically. In the literature, there are no studies examining the effect of VNS on recovery and performance in athletes.

Clinical Trial Description

In this study, the effects of auricular vagus nerve stimulation on performance and recovery were investigated, which was designed as a randomized controlled trial, a single session of VSU was applied to 60 male professional athletes (30 experimantal, 30 control). The normal application waveform was biphasic asymmetric, with a pulse duration of 300 microseconds and a frequency of 25 hertz, for 20 minutes and continuously. ;
