19 National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Tehran, February 2009 Part 1 Conceptual and measurement issues

20 Sport produces strong emotions

21 Many different emotions Energized Frustrated Subdued Despair Energized Frustrated Subdued Despair

22 Starting point Performance influences emotions Emotions influence performance Understanding the process is important

23 Characteristics of emotion Caused by a specific event Behavioural and expressive Not controllable Brief and intense Distinct physiological patterning Rises and dissipates quickly

24 Characteristics of mood Cause less well defined Largely cognitive More controllable More enduring No distinct physiological patterning Rises and dissipates slowly

25 Weather analogy Personality = climate Mood = prevailing weather front Emotion = brief period of rain, sunny period, etc.

26 Mood profiling Participant completes 65- item questionnaire Responses summarized as six scores corresponding to six dimensions of mood Mood profile plotted against standard scores

27 Profile of Mood States Developed for psychiatric patients Not validated for athletes Norms for students but not athletes 65 items, 6 mood dimensions 8-15 minutes to complete Suitable for age 18 upwards

28 Mood dimensions Anger Confusion Depression Fatigue Tension Vigour

29 Mood profile TEN DEP ANG VIG FAT CON

30 Iceberg profile TEN DEP ANG VIG FAT CON

31 Test of champions? Iceberg profile is normal for athletes when plotted against original norms Does NOT predict champions BUT it is a necessary prerequisite Individual variations very useful

32 Optimal mood

33 Sub-optimal mood

34 Contributions Athletes report more positive mood profiles than the general population (Terry & Lane, 2000) Mood profiles do not differentiate achievement level (Terry, 1995; Beedie, Terry, & Lane, 2000)

35 Contributions When certain conditions are met, mood profiles significantly discriminate performance (Terry & Slade, 1995) This is especially true at the elite level (Hall & Terry, 1995; Terry, 1993)

36 Short versions Shacham (1983) 37 items - 6 subscales McNair, Lorr, & Droppleman (1992) 30 items - 6 subscales Grove and Prapavessis (1992) 40 items - 7 subscales Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS: Terry et al., 1999, 2003) 24 items - 6 subscales

37 Brunel Mood Scale Developed for athletes Validated using athletes Normative data for athletes 2-3 minutes to complete Suitable for age 12 upwards

38 BRUMS translations Spanish, French, Hungarian, Malay, Chinese, Portuguese and now perhaps... Farsi

39 Response timeframes How do you feel generally? How have you felt over the past week including today? How do you feel right now?

40 Effects of ambient mood Past week assessments produced higher scores than multiple right now assessments Past week assessments associated with ambient mood for confusion, depression, and vigour

41 National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Tehran, February 2009 Part 2: How to do it?

42 Complete the Brunel Mood Scale

43 National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Tehran, February 2009 Calculate the score for tension by adding responses for panicky anxious worried nervous (items 1, 13, 14, 18)

44 National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Tehran, February 2009 Calculate the score for depressed mood by adding responses for depressed downhearted unhappy miserable (items 5, 6, 12, 16)

45 National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Tehran, February 2009 Calculate the score for anger by adding responses for annoyed bitter anger bad tempered (items 7, 11, 19, 22)

46 National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Tehran, February 2009 Calculate the score for vigour by adding responses for lively energetic active alert (items 2, 15, 20, 23)

47 National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Tehran, February 2009 Calculate the score for fatigue by adding responses for worn out exhausted sleepy tired (items 4, 8, 10, 21)

48 National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Tehran, February 2009 Calculate the score for confusion by adding responses for confused mixed up muddled uncertain (items 3, 9, 17, 24)

82 Mental preparation Can you see it? (WYSIWYG) Can you really see it? (e.g., SG) On-court strategies (e.g., snail, smile)

83 National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Tehran, February 2009 Music and sport performance

84 Responses to music Captures attention Lifts spirits Generates emotion Changes mood Evokes memories Reduces inhibitions Encourages rhythmic movement

85 Long history of using music to enhance effort

86 Brazilian football and samba

87 World Cup 2006 "Psychologists say it is very important in the dressing room and coming from the hotel to the stadium that you do something with your hands, with your mouth If you just sit there worrying, clutching your hands, that does not help. If you play something it helps them relax. That s s why we give them the drums and things Since 1970 we have done this. We buy instruments for them and they play on the bus instead of saying, 'Oh my God, we are going to play Germany or England in a World Cup game.' That does not help." (Brazilian football coach Carlos Alberto Parreira, 2006)

88 Germany 2006

89 Conceptual framework Antecedents Intermediaries Potential Benefits Personal factors Situational factors Rhythm response Musicality Cultural impact Associations Improved mood Arousal control Dissociation Reduced RPE Greater work output Improved skill acquisition Flow state Enhanced performance (Terry & Karageorghis, 2006)

90 Definitions SYNCHRONOUS use of music Performance of repetitive movements in time with the beat or tempo of music ASYNCHRONOUS use of music Background music with no conscious synchronisation between movement and music tempo

91 Type of effect Relaxation Motivation Calmness Aggression Precision Endurance many other effects are possible

92 Music as a challenge The haka

93 Meta-analysis analysis of effects Effect No. of effects Weighted mean Music and exercise Music and sport Music on performance Music on psychology Music on physiology (Terry & Lim, 2007)

94 Meta-analysis analysis of effects Effect No. of effects Weighted mean Synchronous music On performance 6.64 On psychology 6.67 On physiology 1.39 Asynchronous music On performance On psychology On physiology (Terry & Lim, 2007)

95 Strength Stimulative music produced higher hand-grip dynamometer scores than sedative music or white noise (Karageorghis, Drew, & Terry, 1996)

96 Recent evidence Time-to to-exhaustion longer when treadmill walking to motivational music than neutral music (6% longer) or no music (15% longer) (Karageorghis et al., 2009)

97 Proposed mechanisms Attention narrowed, diverted from sensations of fatigue, or anxiety Emotional and physiological arousal is altered Improved physiological functioning (less effort for same work)

98 Conceptual framework Antecedents Intermediaries Potential Benefits Personal factors Situational factors Rhythm response Musicality Cultural impact Associations Improved mood Arousal control Dissociation Reduced RPE Greater work output Improved skill acquisition Flow state Enhanced performance (Terry & Karageorghis, 2006)

99 Music-induced induced world record Indoor 2000m world record (Feb. 1998) Haile Gebreselassie s stride rate was synchronised to the song Scatman

100 Music Factors Volume Tempo Rhythm Melody Harmony Instrumentation Lyrics

101 Associations Rocky s s training through the snow and trying to overcome this obstacle to get to ultimately beating a guy who s s nearly twice his size, that kind of like inspires the way I approach my training. (Priest & Karageorghis, 2003)

102 Associations Repetition and powerful visual images are key factors Even unlikely associations are easily achieved [Italia 90]

103 Music for mood management Listening to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers was an important part of James Cracknell s preparation before the 2000 Olympic final. I I was listening to that CD on my Discman until about an hour before we competed

104 Music for mood management The music is vaguely aggressive and powerful, but it s s also familiar, so it serves a joint purpose. It makes you relax a bit, but also winds you up at the same time. It keeps you going, which is very important. (James Cracknell, Men s Fours Olympic Gold Medallist 2000, 2004)

105 Dedication

106 Music for mood management Strategies are sometimes counter-intuitive Audley Harrison, 2000 Olympic Super- heavyweight Boxing Champion listened to Japanese classical music Used to induce precision, lightness, control and calmness rather than aggression

107 Music to inspire Albertville th Lillehammer th Nagano 1998 Their moment?

108 Music to inspire Give me one moment in time When I m I m more than I thought I could be When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away And the answers are all up to me

109 Sydney 2000 Richard Faulds, Olympic double trap champion

110 Music for rehabilitation Anna Hemmings Client since times World Champion Marathon Canoeist Won three World Titles Suffered CFS Regained World Title in 2005 and 2006

111 Music for mood management I m m Like a Bird (Nelly Furtado) For the associations and imagery that it conjures up like a bird, flying, relaxed, free. [Key to rehabilitation]

112 Perth 2005 The World s s Greatest (R.Kelly) I I absolutely love the lyrics. I save this song for the really big races, I only EVER listen to it at the World Championships when I am warming up for my race. It brings a lump to my throat, it puts me in the zone (Anna Hemmings).

113 Music for visualisation One dream, one soul, one prize, one goal One shaft of light that shows the way

114 Music for team preparation Different music to symbolise different phases of a tournament Early phase (Let s s get this party started) Competition final (Lose yourself) Queensland Hockey

122 A principle of excellence Little things make a big difference Control the little pictures and the big picture takes care of itself

123 River as metaphor for thought processes Strong, steady, irresistible flow Unwanted stuff floats along frequently Fighting against thoughts traps them Bring in the good thoughts behind and let the unwanted thoughts drift through

124 A principle of excellence Systematic monitoring is better than intuitive assessment Individualised datasets may reveal patterns of success

167 Review of literature Significant relationships between Pre-competition mood responses and performance (Beedie, Terry, & Lane, 2000)

168 Review of literature Mental health model (MHM) High vigour, low anger, confusion, depression, fatigue, and tension (iceberg profile) associated with superior athletic performance (Morgan, 1985) Theoretical advances have highlighted interactive effects of different mood components upon performance (Lane & Terry, 2000)

169 Review of literature Calls for intra-individual studies rather than cross-sectional designs (Hanin, 1997; Hassmén, Raglin, & Lundqvist, 2004) Hanin (1997) suggested that equivocal findings were due to individual differences among cross-sectional samples

170 Review of literature Lane and Chappell (2001) assessed moodperformance relationships for 11 basketball players at the World University Games Pre-performance mood explained 9% of performance variance in cross-sectional analyses

171 Review of literature In intra-individual analyses performance was significantly related to mood for 6 players, explaining up to 40% of variance, but unrelated for the other 5 players

172 Review of literature Mood-performance relationship assessed among junior swimmers (N = 702) by Terry, Janover and Diment (2004) Pre-race mood scores accounted for 24% of performance variance using cross-sectional analyses

173 Review of literature Intra-individual analyses on 24 swimmers Pre-race mood responses explained between 1% and 86% of performance variance

174 Mood scores predict winning and losing performances in tennis (Terry & Munro, 2008)

175 Cross-sectional summary Outcome correctly classified from pre-match data in 60% of cases Previous cross-sectional investigation of tennis players (Terry et al., 1996) yielded 72% correct classifications

176 Cross-sectional summary Psychological factors greater influence on performance at higher competition levels Higher standard of players recruited by Terry and colleagues (national level juniors)
