Beta frequency binaural beats combined with preferred music enhance combat performance and recovery responses in amateur kickboxers: a randomized crossover trial
Combined preferred music and 15 Hz binaural beats during inter-round recovery enhanced striking performance and psychophysiological responses compared to single interventions or control conditions. These results suggest potential use of binaural beats and preferred music for performance optimization in amateur combat sports training.
