Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if different music interventions (motivational music, self-selected music, and no music) can enhance mental and physical performance in young basketball players aged 12-19 in Shandong Province, China. The primary questions it aims to answer are:

Does motivational music lead to higher levels of mental energy, mental toughness, mindful attention awareness, psychological skills, and athletic identity compared to no music? Does self-selected music lead to higher levels of these variables compared to no music? Researchers will compare three groups (motivational music, self-selected music, and no music) to determine if these interventions significantly affect mental energy, mental toughness, psychological skills, mindfulness, athletic identity, and sports performance.

Participants will:

Be randomly assigned to one of three groups: motivational music, self-selected music, or no music (control).

Listen to their assigned type of music for 30 minutes before basketball training and performance tests, three times a week for 12 weeks.

Complete questionnaires and performance tests at the start and end of the study to measure changes in their mental and physical performance.

Primary Outcome Measures: Mental Energy, Description: Mental energy will be measured using the Athletic Mental Energy Scale (AMES).

Scale Title: Athletic Mental Energy Scale (AMES) Minimum and Maximum Values: The AMES ranges from 1 to 6. Score Interpretation: Higher scores indicate higher levels of mental energy. Time Frame: Baseline (pre-intervention) and 12 weeks (post-intervention)., Baseline (pre-intervention) and 12 weeks (post-intervention)|Psychological Skills, Description: Psychological skills will be measured using the Athletic Psychological Skills Inventory (APSI).

Scale Title: Athletic Psychological Skills Inventory (APSI) Minimum and Maximum Values: The APSI ranges from 1 to 5. Score Interpretation: Higher scores indicate better psychological skills., Baseline (pre-intervention) and 12 weeks (post-intervention)|Athletic Identity, Description: Athletic identity will be measured using the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale - Plus (AIMS-P).

Scale Title: Athletic Identity Measurement Scale - Plus (AIMS-P) Minimum and Maximum Values: The AIMS-P ranges from 1 to 11. Score Interpretation: Higher scores indicate a stronger athletic identity., Baseline (pre-intervention) and 12 weeks (post-intervention)|Mindfulness, Description: Mindfulness will be measured using the Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS).

Scale Title: Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) Minimum and Maximum Values: The MAAS ranges from 1 to 6. Score Interpretation: Higher scores indicate greater mindfulness., Baseline (pre-intervention) and 12 weeks (post-intervention)|Mental Toughness, Description: Mental toughness will be measured using the Trait Mental Toughness Inventory for Sport (TMTIS).

Scale Title: Trait Mental Toughness Inventory for Sport (TMTIS) Minimum and Maximum Values: The TMTIS ranges from 1 to 5. Score Interpretation: Higher scores indicate greater mental toughness., Baseline (pre-intervention) and 12 weeks (post-intervention)|Sports Performance Tests, Description: Sports performance will be assessed through multiple tests including crossover dribble layup, running vertical jump, and shooting tests.

Specific Tests:

Crossover Dribble Layup Test: Number of successful layups in a given time frame.

Running Vertical Jump Test: Height of vertical jump in centimeters. Shooting Test: Number of successful shots made in a given number of attempts., Baseline (pre-intervention) and 12 weeks (post-intervention)
