According to the multi-action plan (MAP) intervention model, athletic performance can be classified in terms of both achievement level (optimal and sub-optimal) and action control (automatized and controlled). The aim of the present study was to investigate the psychophysiological, emotional, and postural patterns related to the four performance categories derived from the bi-dimensional categorization. A rifle shooter of the Italian National team was requested to perform a large number of shots (~120) during a practice session. Prior to each shot, the athlete was asked to rate his hedonic tone (affective state) on a modified 11-point Borg scale. After each shot, he was also requested to rate his perceived levels of both control and execution accuracy of the core components of his action. EEG, ECG, SCL and kinematic data were collected throughout performance using a 32 channels EEG system (ANT), Bioharness (zephyr), and UFI Skin conductance meter in conjunction with powerlab (ADIntruments). Results showed specific psychophysiological, emotional, and postural patterns related to the four types of performance, thereby providing support to the predictions stemming from the MAP model.

Abstract
According to the multi-action plan (MAP) intervention model, athletic performance can be classified in terms of both achievement level (optimal and sub-optimal) and action control (automatized and controlled). The aim of the present study was to investigate the psychophysiological, emotional, and postural patterns related to the four performance categories derived from the bi-dimensional categorization. A rifle shooter of the Italian National team was requested to perform a large number of shots (~120) during a practice session. Prior to each shot, the athlete was asked to rate his hedonic tone (affective state) on a modified 11-point Borg scale. After each shot, he was also requested to rate his perceived levels of both control and execution accuracy of the core components of his action. EEG, ECG, SCL and kinematic data were collected throughout performance using a 32 channels EEG system (ANT), Bioharness (zephyr), and UFI Skin conductance meter in conjunction with powerlab (ADIntruments). Results showed specific psychophysiological, emotional, and postural patterns related to the four types of performance, thereby providing support to the predictions stemming from the MAP model.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
