Özet

Bu araştırma, müziğin millî sporcuların antrenman süreçlerine olan etkilerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmaya farklı branşlardan 544 millî sporcu katılmış, müziğin antrenman sırasında motivasyon, psikolojik sağlamlık ve fiziksel güç/performans üzerindeki etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Veriler, “Sportif Uygulamalarda Müziğin Etkisi Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplanmış ve istatistiksel analizler, bağımsız örneklem t-testleri ve tek yönlü ANOVA dahil olmak üzere SPSS 25.0 aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular, müzik eşliğinde yapılan antrenmanların sporcuların motivasyonunu artırdığını, fiziksel performanslarını geliştirdiğini ve psikolojik dayanıklılıklarını olumlu yönde etkilediğini ortaya koymuştur. Özellikle kadın sporcular, genç yaş grubu (18-22), kısa süreli spor geçmişine (1-3 yıl) sahip bireyler, yüksek eğitim düzeyine ve sosyo-ekonomik duruma sahip sporcular ile takım sporları yapan bireylerde müziğin daha etkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırma, müziğin bireysel farklılıklar göz önünde bulundurularak antrenmanlarda stratejik şekilde kullanılmasının, sporcuların genel performanslarını ve antrenman verimliliğini artırabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, müziğin atletik performansı ve zihinsel hazırlığı için önemli bir araç olduğunu vurgulamakta ve spor psikolojisi ve egzersiz bilimi alanında alanyazına katkıda bulunmaktadır.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effects of music on the training processes of national athletes. A total of 544 national athletes from various sports disciplines voluntarily participated in this study. Data were collected using the “Impact of Music on the Sportive Activities Scale” (IMSAS), which evaluates three sub-dimensions: motivation, psychological resilience, and physical strength/performance. Statistical analyses were conducted via SPSS 25.0, including independent sample t-tests and one-way ANOVA. The results revealed that music positively influences athletes’ motivation, enhances physical performance, and strengthens psychological resilience during training. Notably, female athletes, younger age groups (18–22), those with 1–3 years of sports experience, athletes with higher education and socioeconomic status, and those engaged in team sports benefited more from music-supported training sessions. The findings highlight the importance of personalized music integration into training programs, emphasizing that the impact of music varies according to individual differences. This study contributes to the growing literature in sports psychology and exercise science by emphasizing music as a valuable tool to optimize athletic performance and mental preparedness.
