Peak Performance
Biofeedback has been used with both professional and Olympic level
athletes for over 30 years.
It’s ability to improve mental focus, mind-body control, and overall
sport performance is well documented.
EPR Biofeedback made its Olympic debut in 2008 at the Federal
Sports Hospital in Beijing. For four months prior to the Beijing
Games, over 1000 sessions were performed with 50 physicians and
over 200 athletes of the Chinese National and Olympic Teams.
Thirty two of China’s record 100 medalists were participants in the
biofeedback health management program.
Subtle factors like diet, minerals, emotions, allergies, and air
pollution can separate Olympic-class competitors that are
compared by inches and fractions of a second. For instance, sub-
clinical dietary deficiencies may reduce endurance, affect sleep,
cause muscle cramps, and impair performance and recovery in
countless ways.
Training Recovery
The excessive demands of world-class
training require quality rest and
recovery. All current EPR biofeedback
athletes are impressed with the improved
recovery time they experience when
using the device regularly. Quick
recovery translates into better training
tolerance and improved contest
preparation (particularly between heats
or events). During high-volume training
cycles and as athletes get closer to
peaking, they often struggle more with
sleep, digestion, and rejuvenation.
As the body becomes more stressed, the
autonomic nervous system gets stuck in
a “sympathetic-dominant” state, which
increases the likelihood of injury,
infection, and emotional distraction.
The earliest signs of distress are exhibited by the body’s bio-field, and only Electrophysiological Reactivity
(EPR) testing is capable of this kind of subtle measurement. T
he INDIGO Biofeedback System measures the athlete’s own reactions, using their own baselines as the control,
rather than comparing them with a “norm”, though results correlate well with standard diagnostic tests when
cases are more advanced. This way, each athlete’s individual needs can be ascertained and corrected pro-
actively. The program also includes high-end 3D graphics intended to allow the athlete to visually interact with
the program, which triggers a mind-body connection.
