Effect of self-selected pre-task music and whole-body vibration on agility and shooting accuracy in female futsal players

Le résumé fourni par la source

BACKGROUND: Agility and shooting accuracy play a fundamental role in female futsal performance. It has been shown that either whole-body vibration (WBV) and music stimuli may positively influence athletes' performance. Therefore, this study analyzed the acute effects WBV and self-selected music (SSM) on agility and shooting accuracy in female futsal players. METHODS: In the pre-testing session, body composition was evaluated in twenty-five female futsal players (age: 26.5±6.2 years). In the testing session, players performed the modified agility T-test and a shooting accuracy test with the dominant limb after three different conditions: static half squat plus WBV, SSM and Control Condition (CC). Before performing the modified agility T-test, the Felt Arousal Scale (FAS) was administered. RESULTS: FAS was significantly higher (P<0.01) in the SSM (5.2±0.9 score) than in the CC (4.1±1.2 score) and WBV (4.8±0.9 score). In the modified agility T-test no significant differences were observed after being exposed to CC (4.8±0.9 s) SSM (6.8±0.5s) or WBV (6.8±0.5s). No significant differences were observed in shooting accuracy between conditions (SSM: 13.4±2.5 score; WBV: 14.2±2.6 score; CC: 14±3.0 score). CONCLUSIONS: Neither whole body vibration nor self-selected music seem to be effective in improving agility and shooting accuracy in female futsal players.
