| Abstract |
| Subliminal stimuli unconsciously influence the mind and behavior and play an important role in regulating mental skills and motor performance. Recent studies show that these stimuli can improve motor sequence learning, unconscious multisensory integration, attentional control, and anxiety reduction. This review aimed to investigate the new findings on the effects of subliminal stimuli on motor performance, mental skills, and cognitive processes. Methods: For this study, a systematic review was conducted using content and library analysis. A targeted search of sources in databases yielded 750 articles. By determining precise entry criteria and also accessing the full text of the articles, a total of eleven Persian and English articles related to the topic were included in the review process. At the end, all the articles were reviewed and studied in full text, and the main findings and concepts in this field were extracted. Results: The findings of review showed that the effect of subliminal stimuli varies depending on the type of stimulus and functional area, but overall, it can be supported that these interventions have a significant and positive effect on motor learning, attention control, and anxiety reduction. The review of studies showed that subliminal interventions had a significant effect on psychological aspects such as reducing anxiety and depression, improving mental skills. From a motor perspective, these interventions help reduce pain and muscle tension, as well as increase strength. In the context of motor learning, subliminal stimuli had a significant effect on increasing implicit learning as well as consequences of serial reaction time tasks. Conclusion: the subliminal stimulus intervention is a new area in the field of motor skills learning and teaching physical education. it is suggested that these stimuli and interventions may be used to improve the motor skills of athletes and novices. |
