Résumé : International audience
The present study examined the influence of momentum sequence (positive vs. negative) and environmental climate (hot-wet vs. neutral) on supporters' (i.e. virtual observers') reported levels of perceived psychological momentum (PM) during a simulated cycling competition. Participants supported one of two competing cyclists involved in a race that was displayed on a screen in a lecture hall. The race scenario was manipulated so that the supported cyclist appeared to undergo either a positive or negative momentum sequence. In addition, participants were either exposed to a hot-wet environmental climate or to a neutral environmental climate while observing the race scenario. According to the results, reported levels of PM were higher in the positive momentum sequence condition than in the negative momentum sequence condition, consistent with the notion that supporters' PM is influenced by a positivity bias, and reported levels of PM were also found to be higher in the hot-wet climate condition than in the neutral climate condition, consistent with the notion that environmental climate is a contextual factor that influences PM through the operation of a causal augmenting mechanism.

Résumé : Aim The aim of the present study was to examine whether listening to music during warming-up might influence short-term maximal performance (STMP), cognitive anxiety, self-confidence, and enjoyment during Ramadan, and whether these affects might predict STMP. Methods Nine male physical education students (age: 21 ± 1.1 years; height: 1.8 ± 0.04 m; body mass: 83 ± 5 kg) volunteered to participate in the present study. A within-subjects design consisted of four experimental sessions: Two sessions occurred one week before Ramadan and two others took place during Ramadan. They were scheduled at 5 p.m. and were conducted as follows: After a 10-minute warm-up either with or without listening to music, each participant performed a 5-m multiple shuttle run test, after which he was asked to answer items intended to assess his affective state during the experimental task. Results Our findings revealed that STMP was lower during Ramadan than before Ramadan in the no-music condition. Additionally, it was found that STMP was higher in the music condition than in the no-music condition during Ramadan, and that STMP measured before Ramadan did not differ from that measured during Ramadan in the music condition. Regarding affects, the findings revealed that enjoyment was lower during Ramadan than before Ramadan in the music condition, and that cognitive anxiety was lower in the music condition than in the no-music condition before Ramadan. Self-confidence was not influenced by the experimental conditions. Conclusion This study showed that listening to music during warming-up not only would be beneficial for STMP in Ramadan fasters, but also would counteract the negative effects of Ramadan observance on STMP.

Résumé : La présente revue a pour but de faire état des travaux traitant de la relation entre la musique et la performance sportive à des efforts de courte et de longue durées.L’analyse de la littérature souligne clairement les bénéfices de la musique sur les performances motrices et/ou sportives. La plupart des études révèle que la musique écoutée avant, pendant ou après l’effort influence les processus psychophysiologiques de la performance et/ou la performance elle-même à des efforts de courte ou de longue durées. La littérature révèle toute la complexité de la relation musique–performance dans la mesure où cette relation implique un grand nombre de facteurs, de type interne, situationnel et contextuel, entrant en interaction complexe, affectant ainsi les sphères affective, cognitive, motivationnelle, physiologique et comportementale des individus.Si la littérature relate un nombre considérable de travaux confortant l’hypothèse selon laquelle la musique améliore la performance, la compréhension des mécanismes psychophysiologiques sous-tendant la relation musique–performance reste encore limitée. L’adoption de la perspective complexe et dynamique proposée dans ce présent travail pourrait permettre de faire la lumière sur les mécanismes sous-tendant cette relation.Bien que l’examen de la relation musique–performance réponde à un objectif essentiellement théorique, la compréhension de ses mécanismes devrait permettre de développer des stratégies pouvant améliorer la performance sportive.
