High-Tempo Warm-Up Music and Anaerobic Power During and After Ramadan Fasting

Sponsor: Gümüşhane Universıty

Summary

This study investigates whether standardized high-tempo music used during warm-up affects anaerobic power in trained male soccer players during and after Ramadan fasting. Sixteen players completed four experimental sessions in a 2 × 2 within-participant repeated-measures design combining assessment period (during Ramadan vs. approximately two weeks after Ramadan) and warm-up condition (music vs. no music). Because the music intervention was delivered collectively through loudspeakers, all participants completed the same condition within a given session, and the condition order was not randomized at the individual level. During Ramadan, the no-music condition was performed first, followed by the music condition; during the post-Ramadan assessment period, this order was reversed. Participants completed a modified FIFA 11+ warm-up with or without a standardized high-tempo music playlist (120-140 bpm), followed by the Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST). The primary outcomes were peak power, mean power, relative peak power, and relative mean power. The study examines whether the effects of warm-up music on anaerobic power differ between Ramadan fasting and the post-Ramadan period.
