Skullcandy presents the note of the day.
What does Darshan Antequera listen to in his daily life, training, and competitions?
Today, more and more elite athletes around the world are accompanying their physical activities with music, and it's no wonder, since they claim to feel more motivated when listening to their favorite songs.
Various practical and scientific studies have been conducted on this topic, and although there is no 100% proof , psychophysiological effects of music have been observed in relation to the increase in physical performance in athletes.
Furthermore, it has been proven that humans tend to synchronize body movements with the rhythm of music.
In this article we get closer to one of the national representatives in the Junior category who was competing last week in Huntington Beach, Darshan Antequera from Jacoba and he tells us about what he hears in his life as an athlete.
In your daily life, what does Darshan Antequera listen to?
" I usually listen to reggaeton, rap, pop and a little bit of chill music in English."
What's your favorite workout music?
"The music I listen to for physical training is rap in Spanish and English, like Residente and Eminem. Also hip hop and a little reggaeton."
When it comes to competitions, how do you use music?
" It depends a lot on the tournament and how I feel emotionally. For example, if it's a tough heat but I feel good, confident, and motivated, I listen to rap like diss tracks and reggaeton for 'Get Pumped Up.' If for some reason I feel nervous, I try to listen to calm, positive music, preferably in English."
Personally, do you feel that music has an impact on your athletic performance?
"I think that when it comes to competition, not so much, but when it comes to physical training, it helps me a lot because sometimes you don't have much motivation to train, and music inspires you to be able to do the workouts."
