Abstract The purpose of this experimentation is to test whether music has an impact on how you perform in sports. Most people prefer to listen to their specified music while working out or practicing and they know what works best for them. However, this experiment will prove what type of music is the most effective. Even though this type of music might not be your style, it might be what helps you perform best. If it is proven that one specific type of music will actually help an athlete's performance, you will be able to see the improvements on each of the test subjects.
