NCT06515197

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if different music interventions (motivational music, self-selected music, and no music) can enhance mental and physical performance in young basketball players aged 12-19 in Shandong Province, China. The primary questions it aims to answer are: Does motivational music lead to higher levels of mental energy, mental toughness, mindful attention awareness, psychological skills, and athletic identity compared to no music? Does self-selected music lead to higher levels of these variables compared to no music? Researchers will compare three groups (motivational music, self-selected music, and no music) to determine if these interventions significantly affect mental energy, mental toughness, psychological skills, mindfulness, athletic identity, and sports performance. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to one of three groups: motivational music, self-selected music, or no music (control). Listen to their assigned type of music for 30 minutes before basketball training and performance tests, three times a week for 12 weeks. Complete questionnaires and performance tests at the start and end of the study to measure changes in their mental and physical performance.

Study Arms (3)

Motivational Music

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this group will listen to pre-selected motivational music tracks for 30 minutes before each basketball training and performance test. This intervention will be conducted three times a week for 12 weeks. The aim is to assess the impact of motivational music on mental energy, mental toughness, psychological skills, mindfulness, athletic identity, and sports performance.

Other: Motivational Music

Self-Selected Music

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this group will choose their own music to listen to for 30 minutes before each basketball training and performance test. This intervention will be conducted three times a week for 12 weeks. The goal is to determine the effect of self-selected music on mental energy, mental toughness, psychological skills, mindfulness, athletic identity, and sports performance.

Other: Self-Selected Music

No Music Control

NO INTERVENTION

Participants in this group will not listen to any music before basketball training and performance tests. This control group will help compare the effects of no music intervention against the motivational and self-selected music interventions. The sessions will be conducted three times a week for 12 weeks.
