Elite sport performance/Music/Music summary and go further

= Summary and go further =

This module has addressed how music can be harnessed in training and competition:  A conceptual framework was presented based on two decades of research. Music offers psychological, psychophysical, and physiological benefits. Understanding the context of when to use music is important. This includes the type of activity and personal and situational factors. Music can be used in training and can be matched to specific activities. Music is not suitable for all activities. When learning new skills or following coaching instructions music can act as a distraction and disrupt concentration. Music can also be used prior to competition to regulate arousal. Music can be coupled with imagery to assist performance. Music is useful for relaxing athletes before, during and after competition.</li> </ul>
