Effects Of Assigned And Self-selected Music On Collegiate Athletes' Subjective Perception Of Relaxation And EEG

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of different music on athletes' subjective perception of relaxation and EEG. 120 collegiate athletes from Capital Institute of Physical Education were chosen as subjects and the between-subject design was applied. According to matching method, all subjects were divided into four equal groups with different experimental conditions: assigned classic music, assigned folk music, self-selected music and quiet sitting. Through the experiment and theoretical analysis, some conclusions were drawn as following:Listening to music and sitting quietly can improve mood state of college athletes. They felt happier and calmer on listening to music; self-selected music made them clearer-headed and assigned folk music made them more dedicated.Listening to music and sitting quietly can improve the brain function state. It was discovered in the experiment that music can decrease the power ofα1,α2 andβ, and increase the power ofα3. Listening to music and sitting quietly still had the obvious post effect appearing.Assigned folk music urged relative change happened between subjective perception of relaxation and the brain function. It was found that there was significant positive relationship between absorption and changed ratio ofθ, and significant negative relationship between absorption and changed ratio ofα3. During the experiment, it was also found that there was significant positive relationship between happiness and changed ratio ofα1.
