Many techniques have been invented to enhance sport performance which nowadays are used by athletes in different sport fields. Among these techniques, neurofeedback as a noninvasive brain method has received much attention. The present study was conducted to report research results of athletes’ discrete skills by convenience sampling method. English articles were searched by keywords like “neurofeedback”, “EEG neurofedback”, “sport performance”, “athletic performance”, “shooting performance”, “archery”, “putting performance” and “golf” to collect data. The articles were collected from PsycINFO, PubMed, web of science, EBSCO and Google Scholar databases from 1990 to 2018. Persian articles were searched with same keywords in SID, Noormags, Magiran and Irandoc databases from 2001 to 2020. 16 articles had the inclusion criteria of the research and were selected. Then, the information of each article was extracted and reported in findings by an author using a specific checklist. Results showed that different recruited neurofeedback protocols in any study could affect the results of interventions and it is necessary to pay attention to this method in athletes. Based on these findings, neurofeedback training has positive effectiveness on enhancing sport performance in athletes.

Autism is one of the major developmental disabilities which make visual imbalance for those who are vulnerable. Research has shown that vision has a key role in all those activities which focus on aiming task. The aim of this study was to investigate the visual focus on improvement of a throwing task of autistic children. 24 boys at the age of 10 were randomly assigned into two experimental and control groups. Independent t-test and ANVA were used to analyze the data. The results suggested that there was a significant difference between pretest scores in acquisition (p≤0.05). On the other hand, the in experimental group had a better performance in retention phase. . The results suggested that there was a significant difference between pretest scores in acquisition (p≤0.05). On the other hand, the experimental group had a better performance in retention phase. It was concluded that visual affects the throwing task.
