THE EFFECT OF MUSIC ON PSYCHOLOGICAL STRENGTH, PHYSICAL STRENGTH, AND PERFORMANCE AND MOTIVATION IN SPORTIVE PRACTICES

Abstract

This research was conducted to evaluate the effects of listening to music in sportive practices on psychological resilience, physical strength, and performance and motivation levels before, during, and after the sportive practice. The research was conducted with the general screening model, one of the quantitative research designs. The universe of the study consists of students studying at the Faculty of Sports Sciences of Dokuz Eylul University. The sample of the study, in which the convenience sampling method, which is one of the nonprobability sampling methods, was used, consists of 202 students in total, 102 male and 100 female. Summarizing literature reviews and conceptual models have hypothesized the potential benefits and salient mechanisms associated with listening to music in sporting practices, although a large-scale objective summary of the literature has not been provided. The study data were obtained by using the scale of the effect of music in sportive practices. Kolmogorov-Smirnova and Shapiro-Wilk normality tests at a significance level of 0.05 were used to determine whether the obtained data were normally distributed. As a result of the test, it was determined that the data did not show normal distribution (p<0.05) at the significance level. For this reason, the Mann-Whitney-U test, Kruskal Wallis Test, and Friedman Test were used at the 0.05 significance level, which are nonparametric test statistics.
