Self-Selected Music and Anaerobic Performance in Futsal Players During Ramadan
Turkey (Türkiye)10 participantsStarted 2022-04-10
Plain-language summary
This study investigates the effects of self-selected music during warm-up on anaerobic performance in highly trained futsal players during and after Ramadan fasting. Ten male futsal players participated in a randomized, counterbalanced crossover design, completing two experimental conditions: a standardized warm-up with self-selected music and a standardized warm-up without music. Anaerobic performance was assessed using the Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST).
Participants performed the tests during Ramadan and again two weeks after Ramadan under both conditions. Key performance outcomes included peak power, mean power, minimum power, and fatigue index. The study aims to determine whether self-selected music can enhance anaerobic performance and whether its effects differ between fasting and non-fasting periods.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
