Music is now almost omnipresent in sport and exercise environments. It is recognised by researchers and practitioners alike as having the potential to produce significant benefits for physical performance as well as the psychological state of performers if used judiciously. At the 2012 London Olympiad, many of the world’s finest athletes will tap the power of music as part-and-parcel of their pre-event preparation. This interactive presentation will provide a review and synthesis of the theory, research findings and applications of music in the domain of sport and exercise. The presenter will draw upon his published and applied work from the last 20 years to illustrate novel music applications and provide suggestions for future advances in this domain.
