This study investigates the effects of self-selected music during warm-up on anaerobic performance in highly trained futsal players during and after Ramadan fasting. Ten male futsal players participated in a randomized, counterbalanced crossover design, completing two experimental conditions: a standardized warm-up with self-selected music and a standardized warm-up without music. Anaerobic performance was assessed using the Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST).
Participants performed the tests during Ramadan and again two weeks after Ramadan under both conditions. Key performance outcomes included peak power, mean power, minimum power, and fatigue index. The study aims to determine whether self-selected music can enhance anaerobic performance and whether its effects differ between fasting and non-fasting periods.
