Neurofeedback is a form of Biofeedback therapy, which has grown in popularity in recent years, particularly in the US. It’s a learning process that enables professionals to change the physiological activities of their subject to improve their overall physical, mental and emotional health, whilst measuring brainwaves, heart function, breathing, muscle activity and skin temperature. Biofeedback technology may be used to manage few symptoms as well as to improve overall health and wellness through stress management training.
Since opening its doors in 2004, Aspire Academy has become one of the foremost national sports academies in the world. Working as part of the Aspire Zone Foundation – a comprehensive sports complex – Aspire Academy sits at the heart of a sporting revolution currently taking place in Qatar and around the region.
The Academy is conceiving, promoting and implementing game-changing initiatives to drive excellence in sports training and elite athlete development. Its efforts are enabling an entire generation of talented, disciplined and committed individuals to pursue their sporting dreams.
