TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a protocol of intervention based on the stimulation with an auditory track whose intensity varies in correspondence with the physical effort of each phase of a bench press exercise.Abstract:
In the last fifteen years sport psychology researchers have developed different perceptual strategies based on auditory stimulation in order to improve athletes’ skills. Most of these strategies focused on providing athletes with the correct timing of action, in order to make this information available for motor production setting. However, it has also been demonstrated that some sounds can be a useful tool to modulate the physiological arousal in order to optimize sport performances. In our study we propose a protocol of intervention based on the stimulation with an auditory track whose intensity varies in correspondence with the physical effort of each phase of a bench press exercise. Eighteen participants performed three bench press lifts, both in experimental condition (with the auditory stimulus) and in control condition (without any stimulation). We measured the power exerted during the lifting. The results show that athletes can take advantage of the stimulus we provided, evidencing a higher average exertion of power in the experimental condition, compared to the control condition. Concluding, the results suggest that auditory perception can be a productive field of research in developing experimental strategies to improve athletes’ skills.read more

TL;DR: Results confirm two hypotheses formulated in a preliminary study: pitch is by far the most used auditory dimension in sonification applications, and spatial auditory dimensions are almost exclusively used to sonify kinematic quantities.

A Review on the Relationship Between Sound and Movement in Sports and Rehabilitation.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided of the feasibility and effectiveness of the application of auditory information to improve movement execution, control, and (re)learning in sports and motor rehabilitation and in particular studies on Parkinson’s disease and stroke.

Recognising one's own motor actions through sound: the role of temporal factors.
TL;DR: Results show that golfers are able to recognise their own movements, but they also recognise as their own the sound produced by other athletes having equal both relative timing and overall duration.

Audio-Based Interventions in Sport
TL;DR: In this article, a review examines the potential of audio-based interventions in sport and provides a brief overview of the techniques based on vision and laboratory studies demonstrating the effectiveness of sounds in improving the execution of simple rhythmic motor tasks.

Exploration and evaluation of a system for interactive sonification of elite rowing

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of interactive sonification on stroke rate and boat velocity were evaluated in a non-interactive context. But no significant effect of sonification could be determined in either of the two experiments.

TL;DR: The data suggest that acoustic cues activate the appetitive and defensive motivational circuits underlying emotional expression in ways similar to pictures.

TL;DR: These findings have ramifications for training and exercise therapy and an awareness of the effects of verbal encouragement is important when motivating athletes and patients to attain maximum performance during exercise.

TL;DR: Examination of the impact of motivational music and oudeterous music on endurance and a range of psychophysical indices during a treadmill walking task indicates that motivational synchronous music can elicit an ergogenic effect and enhance in-task affect during an exhaustive endurance task.

Effects of music on physiological and affective responses to graded treadmill exercise in trained and untrained runners.
TL;DR: The results suggest listening to fast, upbeat music during exercise may be beneficial for untrained runners but counterproductive for trained runners.
