Abstract

Although changes in performance during the learning of various sports skills have been studied, however, how these changes at the brain level is still unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate simultaneous changes in motor performance and EEG patterns in beta band during learning dart throwing skill in dominant and non-dominant hand. Methodology: The present study was a quasi-experimental study conducted in a time-series design. The study population consisted of non-athlete students at the University of Tehran with an average age of 23±2.5, which 10 of whom were randomly selected and divided into two groups of dominant hand (5) and non-dominant hand (5). 32-channel wireless EEG, EMG and dartboard tools were used to collect data, and Repeated measures ANOVA were used to measure data at the execution level and changes in EEG activity. Results: The results of this study at the performance level showed a significant reduction in the absolute error of dart throwing and at the same time at the brain level increased EEG activity in frontal and parietal-posterior regions along with decreased central area activity in acquisition and retention stages in both groups (P
