Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine if athletes would perform better in athletic performances when listening to music. The participants were measured during high intensity athletic workouts, across music tempo conditions. This design of this study was a with-in subjects design. Athletes showed no difference in athletic performance when listening to music and not listening to music. Continued research is recommended to explore the effects that music tempo has on athletic performance.
