The present study investigated Neurofeedback training impact on electroencephalographic characteristics and performance in archery. 45 non-athlete undergraduate students were randomly assigned to three groups including real Neurofeedback (neurofeedback training based on their brainwave activities), sham Neurofeedback (feedbacks weren't based on their brainwave activities) and control (without receiving neurofeedback). 20 experiment sessions included 10 minutes training in alpha up-training and 20 minutes alpha-theta protocol. Before starting and after the experiment, all subjects participated in a pre and post-assessment session (archery records and electroencephalographic variables). Each subject received a total of 20 training sessions (archery and neurofeedback). One-way ANCOVA showed significant differences between real group and sham and control group (p<0.05). There were not significant differences in records between sham and control group. MANCOVA analysis indicated a significant increase in alpha activity just for group1 located at left temporal site (p<0.05). The finding suggested that neurofeedback training can change archery records and electroencephalographic characteristics in archery.
