Don't you often, when preparing to break your squat PR, give a presentation, or before a competition, habitually scroll through IG Reels or YouTube Shorts to 'relax a bit'? But when it's really time to go on, you feel dizzy and can't concentrate at all? This isn't just your illusion!
In this episode of 'I Am Sports Science Bamboo', we'll look at a super harsh latest brain science study. Scientists directly used electroencephalogram (EEG) to measure and found that although scrolling short videos seems harmless on the surface, it's actually quietly draining your brain's 'executive control'. When the brain is immersed in this low-resistance, high-stimulation content, the frontal lobe Theta brain waves responsible for focus and resolving conflicts are greatly weakened. In simple terms: You think you're relaxing, but your brain's CPU has already been filled with useless information!🤯
In this episode, I translate the complex neuroscience for everyone, telling you why scrolling on your phone before a game is a big pitfall, and how we should use the most scientific methods (such as mindfulness meditation) to regain focus and self-control. To accommodate everyone's different listening habits, we've specially prepared three versions, quickly choose your favorite platform to listen or watch!
