The effect of using performance-stimulating music on the time of the (800m) endurance competition for the runners and non-runners players

Abstract

The study aimed to know the effect of using performance stimulating music on the time of the (800m) endurance competition for the runners and non-runners players. The study sample consisted of (18) players, divided into two groups. The first group consisted of (9) female athletics team players from the north Jordanian governorate. And the second group (9) novice female players who do not practice running sports, from the faculty of physical education at Yarmouk University. The experimental method- pre and post test- were used. The two groups applied the pre-test for a distance of (800 m) without listening to music and the time were recorded. After 6 days of the post test were applied using performance-stimulating music. The Results showed that there is positive effect of using stimulating music on the performance time. As the results showed there are statistically significant differences in the time of performance between players in favor to the novice players of the faculty of physical education who do not practice running sports. Insights of the results it is recommended that coaches, athletes and beginner players consider listening to music during training to improve their performance, as well as conducting similar studies on various activities for both sexes and for different Age groups
