There has been much investigation into the use of music as an ergogenic aid to facilitate physical performance. However, previous studies have primarily focused on predetermined and aerobic exercise. The purpose this study was investigate effects self-selected (SSM) vs. those no (NM) mood performance athletes performing bench press squat jump. Twenty resistance trained collegiate men completed 2 experimental conditions, one while listening SSM other with NM. subjects reported their profile states (POMS) rating perceived exertion (RPE) before after 3 sets failure at 75% 1 repetition maximum (1RM) reps jump 30% 1RM. Statistical analyses revealed differences in height or relative ground reaction force, but takeoff velocity (SSM-2.06 ± 0.17 m·s(-1); NM-1.99 0.18 m·s(-1)), rate development (SSM-5.92 1.46 m·s(-2); NM-5.63 1.70 m·s(-2)), force (SSM-3175.61 1792.37 N·s(-1); NM-2519.12 1470.32 N·s(-1)) were greater SSM, whereas RPE (SSM-5.71 1.37; NM-6.36 1.61) Bench not different between conditions. POMS scores vigor (SSM-20.15 5.58; NM-17.45 5.84), tension (SSM-8.40 3.99; NM-6.07 3.26), fatigue (SSM-8.65 4.49; NM-7.40 4.38) SSM. This demonstrated increased during explosive exercise altered state when Therefore, might be beneficial for acute power
