This study examined whether music could benefit the training experience in a British national league volleyball team. Nine female volleyball players were tested in two identical studies in three different training sessions: control (no music), slow-music, and fast-music. Players` affect and state anxiety were measured before and after each training session. Perceived effort was assessed at halftimes during training, whereas preference for the session was gauged after each session. Feelings of revitalisation and positive engagement have decreased significantly when slow music was played in the background. A similar trend in the control session was also evident. Perceived effort was lower in the fast-tempo music than control session, but it was the lowest during the slow-music training session. Players` preference for training in presence of slow music was significantly lower than their preference for training without any music or with fast music. It is concluded that slow, asynchronous, music impairs the quality of training, but fast-tempo arousing music may enhance the quality of training not necessarily by inducing major changes in affect but primarily by reducing the perception of effort in volleyball training. Therefore, fast music that is synchronised with the movement-rhythm could enhance the quality of training in female volleyball teams.
