Clinical Trial Summary

The current study is going to investigate the music intervention on the table tennis stroke performance among table tennis stroke performance. The subjects will be instructed to listen to 3 minutes, which can facilitate the recovering process for scope of attention and thought-action repertoire. Thus, to see the improvement in stroke performance.

Description:

The intervention of this study is music, specifically, instruct subjects to listen inducing positive emotion music due to positive emotion benefit to cognition performance. The condition of mental fatigue will be induced by Stroop task. Before the intervention or process of listening music, the pre-test will be recorded to compare the post-test value of table tennis stroke performance. Moreover, the different music intervention will be implemented to identify the optimal selection.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	table tennis stroke performance	Before and after the intervention, stroke performance will be measured to see the difference. the stroke performance will be calculate based on formula: PI=Average speed × ball accuracy, the higher scores,the better stroke performance will be.	4 weeks
Primary	Ball speed	Before and after the intervention, ball speed will be measured to see the differences. the instrument of ball speed will be High speed camera, then input the videos into software Kinovea for measuring the fast speed	4 weeks
Primary	Ball accuracy	Before and after the intervention, ball accuracy will be measured to see the differences. the instrument of ball speed will be target position, for scoring 0-2 scores.	4 weeks
Secondary	Emotion state	Emotional state will be measured by Emotion Report Forms subjectively. This form consists of nine items, which are: Amusement, Anger, Anxiety, Contentment, Disgust, Fear, Happiness, Sadness, and Serenity, rated on a 9-point Likert scale. Participants report that higher scores represent a stronger current emotional state. A higher score for positive emotion items indicate a higher level of positive emotion was induced. The emotional state will be measured in baseline(before inducing mental fatigue); before and after the music intervention to observe any differences.	4 weeks
Secondary	Scope of attention	Scope of attention will be measured by Global-local Processing Task, total 8 sets of stimulation. In each stimulation, participants will be instructed to select one figure (base on global configuration aspect or the local elements),which is more similar compare the the Standard figure. The more selection based on the global configuration by participants, means the more breadth of attention. Scope of attention will be measured in baseline(before inducing mental fatigue); before and after the music intervention to observe any differences.	4 weeks
Secondary	Thought-action repertoire	Thought-action repertoire will be measured by Twenty Statement Test. Participants will be encouraged to fill the twenty blanks with:"i would like to " as many as possible, the more blanks filled by participants, the more score will be reported. the higher scores mean the more breadth of thought-action repertoire. Thought-action repertoire will be measured in baseline(before inducing mental fatigue); before and after the music intervention to observe any differences.	4 weeks
