"THE IMPACT OF FUNCTIONAL ETHNO MUSIC ON THE PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL STATE OF WRESTLERS"

Abstract

The paper deals with the issues of identifying physiological mechanisms of music influence on the functional state of a human body. The research revealed the following specific featuresof the functional ethno music used in sports: the music should not be too well known, it should not have a specific content and the text of the piece of music should be unknown to the listener, so that the psychological regulation effect could be achieved with the music rhythm, tempo and tone; listening to the music, the athlete should constantly divide his/her attention between the music and the bodily sensations.

The described experiment on the music perception proves that the cardiac rhythm varies considerably, depending on the character of the listened music. The research findings suggest that with the music of a certain mode, harmony and rhythm one can cause certain physical reactions, activate or calm activity of the athlete and his/her psycho-emotional state, and enhance the mobilisation processes.

The experience of khomus therapy as a kind of receptive music therapy in sports training organisation is described as an effective way for wrestlers to get into an optimal pre-start condition.
