Halo Sport: Brain-stimulating ear enhances the athlete's performance

By using energy pulses to stimulate the motor cortex, it enters "super-flexible" mode, which makes it easier to form nerve connections during training , the headset Halo Sport can help athletes accelerate the training process to achieve higher performance. Developed by Halo Neuroscience, this special headset is being used by a number of athletes during training sessions for the upcoming Rio Olympic.

Halo Neuroscience explains that this headset works by helping to create temporary softness in the brain. By using energy pulses to boost motor neuron motility, will be formed more quickly and stronger, thereby sending stronger signals down to the muscles. Finally, the coaching process of the coaches is also more effective and the maximum achievement will also be raised.

This particular headset is being used by some athletes during training for the upcoming Rio Olympic.

Halo Neuroscience has previously teamed up with the American ski team to help athletes improve their jumping performance. Based on the report posted on their website, athletes wearing headphones during exercise will have a 13% boost in power compared to others. Although the number of athletes participating in the study and use of the headset is only seven people, the promising results are quite attractive to other athletes.

This makes up 12% of the athlete's maximum strength.

In order to improve the effectiveness of the therapy, two other studies were conducted followed by 10 and 23 athletes and the results were quite positive. Research based on 10 athletes shows that this method increases the maximum strength of the athlete by 12%. Still, scientists say more time is needed to conduct further studies to determine the effects of the brain-stimulating technique.
