Abstract

The object of this research was to study the effect of fast and slow asynchronous music on flow and learning the skills of volleyball service in young semi-skilled female athletes. This research was a semi-experimental. 30 female physical education students with an age range of 20-24 years were selected as samples and randomly divided into three groups: fast music, slow music, and control. After the pre-test, the acquisition phase including four blocks of ten volleyball serve attempts in each session was held for 4 weeks (3 sessions per week). Then, the last training session, the acquisition test and 48 hours later, the retention and transfer test were taken. The flow questionnaire was completed by the participants in the pre-test, post-test, retention, and transfer stages. Analysis of variance tests were used to compare groups in different stages, and analysis of variance with repeated measures was used to evaluate the progress of each group in different stages of the test. The results of the research showed that fast and slow preferred asynchronous music had no significant effect on learning volleyball serve skills (P<0.05). Also, the results showed that fast asynchronous music had a significant effect on the Flow states of the volleyball serve skill (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the three groups on acquisition, retention, and transfer as well as Flow states of volleyball serve skills (P<0.05).
