Title: | Music-assisted training for dart throwing novices : post-training effects on heart rate and performance accuracy | Authors: | Tso, ITH Law, JCL Wong, TWL |
Issue Date: | 1-Feb-2022 | Source: | Perceptual and motor skills, 1 Feb. 2022, v. 129, no. 1, p. 120-133 | Abstract: | While previous research has suggested that lowering athletes’ heart rates can enhance sports performance, it is unknown whether slow-paced music might induce a lower heart rate and thereby improve some types of motor performance. In this study, we investigated the effects of different types of music during dart-throw training on both heart rate and dart-throwing performance in 45 (M age = 19.7, SD = 0.31 years) novice dart throwers who were randomly assigned to either a Slow Music Group (SMG), a Fast Music Group (FMG), or a Control Group (CG). All participants completed three dart-throwing blocks - Pre-Test, Practice, and Post-Test. During the Practice block, participants practiced dart-throwing with either slow-paced, fast-paced or no music according to their assigned group. We recorded the participants’ heart rates and total dart-throwing accuracy scores during Pre-Test and Post-Test. Music-assisted dart-throw training with slow-paced music was effective in significantly inhibiting a performance-related increase in heart rate and was associated with the greatest dart throwing improvement after training. | Keywords: | Music Dart-throwing Heart rate Sport performance Psychomotor training |
