Abstract

Aim:The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of video and live observation on activation of mirror neurons in football keep- up skill. Metod:Twenty-four students (mean age: 17.66  0.816 years) who have taken part in Olympiads competition, voluntarily participated ad yoked into live and video observation. Participants’ brain waves were recorded by EEG in open eye resting and observing live and video observation conditions. Mu rhythm Suppression, as the mirror neuron activation, was calculated as a ratio of the alpha absolute power during observation of video and live models relative to the alpha absolute power in the baseline condition (rest) Findings:Results showed that there were no significant differences in mu rhythm suppression between live and video observation groups in C3, Cz and C4 brain areas. In addition, absolute alpha power was suppressed significantly in observation conditions compared to rest. Conclusion: Regarding the activation of mirror neurons in both live and video observation, our result suggested that in the case of limitation in the use of the live model, video model can be used in soccer keep- up skill.
