Abstract | The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of relaxing and arousing music during imagery rehearsal on dart-throwing performance. Forty-five volunteer sports science students with intermediate imagery ability, as measured by the Sport Imagery Ability Measure, were matched into three groups: 1) Unfamiliar relaxing music with imagery; 2) Unfamiliar arousing music with imagery; and 3) no music with imagery (control). Unfamiliar music was chosen to minimize the potential confound of past associations. A pre-test-intervention post-test design study was conducted, involving dart throwing at a concentric circles dartboard. To measure state anxiety the CSAI-2R and Sport grid-R were administered before the 40-trial dart-throwing performance pre-test. Participants completed 12 sessions of imagery of accurate dart-throwing, then the CSAI-2R and Sport grid-R were re-administered in session 12 followed by the 40-trial performance post-test. In sessions 1 and 12, HR, GSR, and peripheral temperature were measured.ANOVA revealed a significant main effect for music (F = 3.25, p < .05, ?2 =.134). A significant interaction effect was observed for dart-throwing performance across the music conditions (F = 12.0, p < .05, ?2 =.36). Paired t tests in each music condition revealed that there was a significant improvement of performance in the relaxing music (p < .05) and arousing music groups (p < .05), but not in the no-music control group (p > .05). In conclusion, relaxing and arousing music both showed improvements in dart throwing performance, although unfamiliar relaxing classical music showed a larger |
