Combined effects of verbal encouragement and motivational music on anaerobic performance in young soccer players: A randomized controlled trial
Combined verbal encouragement and motivational music provides optimal anaerobic performance enhancement in young soccer players, suggesting coaches should integrate both strategies during pre-competition preparation. These findings support evidence-based multimodal approaches for youth athlete development, with immediate applications for training protocols and talent identification programs in pediatric sports medicine.
