Sports Telegram The Swedish U21 national team won gold in the European Championships, and now aims the Olympics. Their mental training methods sawed though the researchers.
It is the famous HRV training, when you attach a measuring sensor on the ear to measure heart activity, which is slated to be pseudoscientific. An even and smooth curve means that the player is in coherence, a condition characterized by inner peace and harmony, and the man with a simple mind can relax on.
– Coherence means nothing. It’s a made-up concept without basis in medicine or science, says Novella to Radiosporten.
The Swedish Football Association general secretary Håkan Sjöstrand says to Expressen that he needs more and better insights to comment on the issue in detail.
– It is a complex and difficult area. It is absolutely right that when it comes to youth national teams and training programs should always be based on what is evidence-based. As for our senior national team, they have had the opportunity to work with motivation or inspiration-raising activities in order to play well. Then you have downloaded the various elements of experiences, models and methods. There is of course necessary to review these things and think about whether we need to think in a different way, he says to Expressen.
