Background and purpose: In recent years, psychological and physiological effects of music on athletic performance have become an attractive field of research. The present study investigates the effect of various kinds of music on mood characteristics and performance accuracy in skilled and semi-skilled female basketball players. Methods: The population for this quasi-experimental study consisted of skilled players (League) and semi-skilled players (PE students). Seventy-two female basketball players (36 skilled and 36 semi-skilled) were selected randomly and assigned to different groups (exciting music, relaxation music, and favorite music). Data was collected in two days using Brunel mood scale and 5-value Zachary scale for measuring the accuracy of basketball free-throw. Results: ANOVA results show that listening to music improved mood characteristics of participants significantly regardless of their skill level (p=0.012). The interaction of test and type of music was significant on mood variables (p=0.01). Favorite music was more effective than exciting music in improving mood properties (p

Background and Purpose: Ankle injuries are among the most common muscular-skeletal injuries in atliletes so that they account for 10 to 15 percent of all injuries. The chances of ankle strain for an athlete during a sports career are 45% and 10 to 30 percent turn into chronic forms. The present study was conducted to study the ankle instability in the national team athletes (football, wrestling and basketball).
Methods and Materials: In these descriptive- analytical and cross- sectional study, the population was 229 national team athletes who were invited to the national camp. Their mean age and height were 23 years and 185 cm respectively. For statistical analysis of the data, chi-square was used. Injury diagnosis was done through clinical examination and confirmed by Mortise view test.
Results: Ankle instability in free and French wrestling athletes were 8.6% and 5.9% respectively. It was 14.7% in football players and 7.3% in basketball players. Also, a significant relationship was found between ankle instability, trauma and strain (p
