Effect of self-selected pre-task music and whole-body vibration on agility and shooting accuracy in female futsal players

BACKGROUND: Agility and shooting accuracy play a fundamental role in female futsal performance. It has been shown that either whole-body vibration (WBV) and music stimuli may positively influence athletes' performance. Therefore, this study analyzed the acute effects WBV and self-selected music (SSM) on agility and shooting accuracy in female futsal players. METHODS: In the pre-testing session, body composition was evaluated in twenty-five female futsal players (age: 26.5±6.2 years). In the testing session, players performed the modified agility T-test and a shooting accuracy test with the dominant limb after three different conditions: static half squat plus WBV, SSM and Control Condition (CC). Before performing the modified agility T-test, the Felt Arousal Scale (FAS) was administered. RESULTS: FAS was significantly higher (P
