The Effect of Music during Warm-Up on Consecutive Anaerobic Performance in Elite Adolescent Volleyball Players

Abstract

Music is believed to improve athletic performance. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of arousing music during warm-up on anaerobic performance in elite national level adolescent volleyball players. Twenty-four players (12 males and 12 females) performed the Wingate Anaerobic Test following a 10-minute warm-up with and without music (two separate occasions, random order). During warm-up with music, mean heart rate was significantly higher. Following the warm-up with music, peak anaerobic power was significantly higher in all volleyball players (10.7 +/- 0.3 vs. 11.1 +/- 0.3 Watts/kg, p < 0.05, without and with music, respectively). Gender did not influence the effect of music on peak anaerobic power. Music had no significant effect on mean anaerobic output or fatigue index in both genders. Music affects warm-up and may have a transient beneficial effect on anaerobic performance.

Motivational music and repeated sprint ability in junior basketball players

“…Since Western music is very popular in our country, this CD is used frequently in health clubs, schools and sports colleges for aerobic training, and thus also fulfills the criteria of the music's suitability to socio-cultural background and strong association to sport. We have previously demonstrated that listening to selected tracks from this CD (ranked by the participants as a device to increase activity) during warm-up improved peak anaerobic power in elite adolescent volleyball players [13]. Paired t-test was used to determine differences in ideal sprint time, total sprint time, performance decrement, heart rate and RPE, between RST with and without music.…”

The Effect of Fast, Light and Favorite Music on Physiological Function and Physical Performance of the Male Athlete Students

“…In contrast, Ferguson and colleagues (1994) demonstrated that both types of music (fast and slow) can improve performance in karate training (Ferguson, Carbonneau, Chambliss, 1994). Eliakim and colleagues (2007) study the effects of listening to music at 140 beats per minute during the warm-up began and the results showed that music can yield a significant effect during the Wingate test (Eliakim et al, 2007). Karageorghis and colleagues (2009) test for anaerobic Wingate to measure the elite volleyball players use, these individuals when exposed to favorite music with the rhythm 140 bpm ten minutes before the test Wingate were, increased peak anaerobic power in 5 seconds First Was seen.…”

Immediate effects of therapeutic music on loaded sit-to-stand movement in children with spastic diplegia

“…Music during exercises has also been shown to increase the peak power of the LE [9], the endurance [10] and the motivation [11] in healthy persons. While simple rhythmic sound or existing music in the above studies may be suitable for these movements, purposely composed music that corresponds to the key features of a movement may be necessary for other movements such as STS.…”
