The use of brain neuromarkers to modulate the intensity and type of physical exercise represents a pioneering approach in managing body weight and composition. This study explores how monitoring neuromarkers, specifically alpha and beta waves, can help optimize training programs by adapting physical stimulation not only to neural responses but also to individual personality traits and stress levels. The findings suggest that training based on individualized brain and psychological parameters is associated with greater effectiveness in weight loss and appetite control than conventional methods. This approach offers new perspectives for body composition management and potential applications in wellness and personalized fitness consulting.
