NeuroVIZR SA was at the
KOSMOS 3-IN-1
MARATHON EXPO!
Your legs are trained…
BUT ARE YOU
MENTALLY
RACE-READY?
Ultra runners understand one thing very well…
Your legs carry you BUT…
YOUR MIND GETS YOU
TO THE FINISH LINE!
Whether you are running the full marathon, the half marathon, or taking on the full 73.3km challenge at the Kosmos 3-in-1 Marathon –
your mindset and nervous system play a critical role in how you perform on race day.
That is where Neuro Athletics training with NeuroVIZR comes in!
When runners prepare for ultra distances, they focus heavily on – Mileage, Strength, Nutrition, Recovery…
But one system controls them all!
the nervous system!
Your nervous system regulates:
– Focus and concentration
– Emotional control under fatigue
– Reaction time and coordination
– Mental endurance
– Stress and anxiety before the race
– Decision making when fatigue sets in
In ultra distance events, mental fatigue can become as limiting as physical fatigue!
Introducing Neuro Athletics with NeuroVIZR
Training the nervous system allows athletes to:
✔
Improve focus during long distances
✔
Stay calm and controlled before the start
✔
Manage fatigue and emotional dips during races
✔
Recover mentally between training sessions and races
Neuro Athletics training is a modern performance method that uses light and sound neuro-stimulation to activate specific brainwave patterns associated with:
Focus, Mental clarity, Emotional regulation, Performance readiness and Recovery.
These short sessions help athletes shift their brain state quickly, making them ideal for both training and race-day preparation.
This ground-breaking technology is now available in South Africa, and we are excited to introduce it to runners at the Kosmos event.

We will be offering several Neuro Athletic sessions designed to support different aspects of performance.
5-minute Neuro Athletic Sessions for R50
Neurological Training Session
INTENSITY EXERCISE
Maintaining tactical awareness while dealing with fatigue – making athletes more resilient to the mental pressures of competition.
Increases production dopamine and norepinephrine, improving focus and motivation.
Essential for sports that require sustained effort and concentration, like marathon running.
Unstick Stuck Training
Habit Buster #1 – Excessive Alpha Brain Waves
Excessive alpha activity can lead to problems like sluggishness, lack of focus, and mental fog – states that hinder athletic performance, particularly when athletes need to be alert and focused.
Unstick Stuck Training
Habit Buster #2 – Excessive Beta Brain Waves
Excessive beta activity can lead to hyperarousal, anxiety, and overthinking, which can impair athletic performance by increasing stress and reducing smooth motor coordination.
Unstick Stuck Training
Habit Buster #3 – Excessive Theta Brain Waves
Excessive theta activity during wakeful states can lead to daydreaming, inattention, and a lack of mental clarity – states that impair performance when focus and precision are required
Unstick Stuck Training
Habit Buster #4 – Excessive GAMMA Brain Waves
Excessive gamma activity can lead to overstimulation, cognitive fatigue, and difficulty shifting into more relaxed states, which are important for recovery and rest.
Unstick Stuck Training
Habit Buster #5 – Excessive Delta Brain Waves
Excessive delta activity during wakefulness can lead to lethargy, slow mental processing, and a lack of energy – states that are detrimental to performance.
11-minute Performance Sessions for R100
Psychological Training Session
Stabilization EXERCISE
Sharpens brain areas for balance and body control while boosting mental resilience, focus, and stress management under pressure.
Enhance the brain’s ability to manage multiple demands – maintaining focus, balance, and coordination simultaneously for peak performance.
Helps athletes stay calm, composed, and focused, even under fatigue or high-pressure situations.
Psychological Training Session
Feeling It EXERCISE
The athlete’s ability to intuitively connect mind and body, entering an “In The Zone” state where movement becomes natural, synchronized, and free from over thinking.
Strengthens the brain–body connection, enabling automatic movement through ingrained motor patterns. Result: faster reactions, optimized neural pathways, peak performance with minimal mental effort.
Pre-Performance Section
De-stress
Athletes often experience pre-competition anxiety due to the pressure of performing well. This stress can negatively affect cognitive clarity, decision-making, and motor coordination.
Neural exercises that focus on de-stressing are aimed at calming the nervous system, lowering stress hormone levels (like cortisol), and activating the parasympathetic nervous system to induce a relaxed yet alert mental state.
Pre-Performance Section
Target Focus
Target Focus involves mental exercises that improve an athlete’s ability to narrow their attention onto a specific task or goal.
This is particularly important for sports requiring precision, timing, and strategic execution. Neural exercises for target focus optimize sustained attention, situational awareness, and the ability to block out distractions.
Pre-Performance Section
Calm the Jitters
Pre-performance jitters are common among athletes and can manifest as nervous energy, muscle tension, and impaired motor coordination.
Neural exercises that focus on calming the jitters work by regulating the autonomic nervous system, reducing excessive beta brain wave activity (associated with anxiety), and promoting a relaxed but ready state.
Pre-Performance Section
Burst Mode
Burst Mode refers to training the brain to rapidly transition from a calm or focused state into one of explosive, high-energy action.
This type of neural exercise primes the brain for situations where immediate, intense physical output is required, such as a sprint, jump, or powerful strike.
Pre-Performance Section
Task Mode
Task Mode sessions in neuro-athletics offer numerous benefits by priming the brain for optimal cognitive and physical performance before an event.
This sessions enhance focus, reaction time, motor coordination, mental resilience, and cognitive-motor integration, all while reducing pre-performance anxiety.
By preparing the brain to be fully engaged and ready for high-pressure situations, Task Mode session help athletes perform at their peak when it matters most.
Pre-Performance Section
Block Thinking
Block Thinking sessions offer significant neurological and cognitive benefits in neuro-athletics by improving task segmentation, mental resilience, focus, and decision-making.
This sessions prime the brain for high-performance states by helping athletes compartmentalize tasks, manage cognitive load, and reduce emotional interference.
Through structured thinking and enhanced mental flexibility, athletes can approach complex performances with greater control, precision, and confidence.
BEST VALUE COMBINATION SESSION for R150
5-Min Session + 11-Min Session = 16 Minutes
This is where you position your premium pre-performance preparation.
MOST EFFECTIVE COMBINATION
UNSTICK STUCK (5 min) + PRE-PERFORMANCE SESSION (11 min)
Why it’s suitable before the race:
Step 1 – Reset (5 min): Unstick Stuck removes excess anxiety, fog, or over-arousal. It balances brainwaves and clears interference.
Step 2 – Prime (11 min): Pre-Performance then activates focused attention, emotional control, and explosive readiness.
Neurologically:
First you stabilize the brain state – Then you optimize it.
Result:
Reduced anxiety | Sharp mental clarity | Controlled adrenaline | Faster start reaction | Better pacing decisions | Stronger emotional composure
Alternative Strong Combination
NEUROLOGICAL TRAINING (5 min) + PRE-PERFORMANCE (11 min)
Why it’s suitable before the race:
Neurological session activates processing speed
Pre-performance stabilizes emotions & primes burst mode
Best for:
Athletes who are calm but want sharper reaction time and explosive start power.
