    (2022) Jaiyeoba, M. O.
    With present technological advancement, the construct of stress management and self- regulation has received a new approach as this affects both psychological and physiological indices of athletes during training, competition, injury recovery and psychological wellbeing. The thought of biofeedback technology that makes use of instruments (electronic devices with electrodes and sensors) to assess, monitor, and feed psycho physiological information back to a person which is gaining recognition is to build a more complete tool to improve athlete’s performance and psychological wellbeing rather than replacing the traditional PST. In this perspective, the paper examined brief historical background of biofeedback in sports, meaning of biofeedback and biofeedback training, biofeedback modalities, stress management, self-regulation, biofeedback technology for stress management and self-regulation, two training models of Wingate 5-Step Approach (W5SA) and the Learning-Modification- Application (LMA) Approach. The author suggested that, sport scientists, sport psychologists and coaches could adopt biofeedback technology as a means to manage competitive stress and improve athlete’s self-regulation for great performance and optimal Health

Previous studies have attempted to address this problem using mostly psychological and medical interventions with little emphasis on the degree of assistance available within the social and institutional networks in the university work environment. The study, therefore, examined the combined influence of workplace environmental factors (work load. role ambiguity/conflict and class size), social (career advice. connectedness and provision of feedbacks) and institutional (research assistance, promotion, collegiality. protection, friendship and opportunity) supports on the management of stress among academic staff in federal universities in the South-west. Nigeria. This study adopted the descriptive survey design. Four of the oldest federal universities in the South-west were purposively selected. Two research hypotheses were tested for the study al 0.05 level of significance. Data were analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and. Multiple Regression. Effective social support System coupled with opportunities for promotion and research assistance as well as availability of flexible work load positively determined the management of stress among academic staff in federal universities in the South-west. Nigeria. There is the need to improve upon thè social supports while effective institutional supports should be provided to enhance the stress management System among thè academic staff.
