Music Training (Zikr) Is Superior To Autogenic And Progressive Muscle Relaxation Training To Increase Endurance Level Among University Sultan Zaina,l Abidin's Athletes

| Summary: | Introduction: This study was designed to compare the effects of three different
relaxation techniques, namely progressive muscle relaxation (PMRT), autogenic
relaxation (AGRT) and Music Training (MT) following endurance exercise among
University Sultan Zainal Abidin's Athletes.
Methodology: Fifty university athletes aged l8 to 25 (mean age: 19.8 * 1.7) received
either AGRT (n:12), PMRT (n:14), MT(n:14) or C no training C (n:10) biweekly for
four weeks. The mood state were measured using the Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) ,
endurance level, heart rate, oxygen consumption and lactate accumulation parameters
were measure at pre and post intervention.
Results & Discussion: The mean differences of endurance level among athletes differed
significantly pre and post intervention (F:4.963, p:0.005.). For the psychological
parameters repeated measures ANOVA with a Greenhouse-Geisser correction revealed
that total mood distress (TMD) differed statistically significantly between time points (F
:132.24, P < 0.0001). For the physiological parameters oxygen consumption and
lactate accumulation differed significantly between groups of relaxation techniques (F:
2.3ll,P < 0.05). Post hoc tests using the Bonferroni correction revealed that MT is the
most effective, followed by PMT and AGRT respectively.
Conclusion: We conclude that all the three type of relaxation training is effective to
increase endurance level among athletes. All those relaxation training produced
significantly changes in physiological parameters namelyYO2 max and serum lactate;
as well as a reduction in positive mood scores. We also found that music training using
the sentimental and arabic lyric ("zikr") which is similar to meditation is the superior
method of relaxation training, followed by progressive muscle relaxation and autogenic
relaxation. |
