The Perception of Benefit of Vocalization on Sport Performance When Producing Maximum Effort

摘要

Objectives/hypothesis. The purpose of this study was to describe athlete belief of performance benefit when using voice during force production tasks and to determine if vocalization during effortful tasks was correlated to perception of voice impairment. The hypotheses were as follows: (1) there is a belief among athletes that voicing during high-effort tasks improves performance and (2) the use of the voice during high-effort tasks is correlated with the perception of voice impairment.
