The Effect of Basic Frequencies of Sport Onomatopoeia on the Grip Strength of Human in Physical Education

Abstract

In sports, onomatopoeia is often used to express and convey power and degree of muscle tension of movements to other players. And from experiences, the use of onomatopoeia is considered effective in sport coaching. The research reported in this paper was designed to evaluate the kind of effects F_0 stimulation (Basic Frequencies of Onomatopoeia) causes on athletes' grip strengths in terms of the high F_0 side, and the type of effects sport onomatopoeic perceptual training using the F_0 stimulation can cause on grip strength performance. The analysis revealed that, when F_0 surpassed a certain value, the voice stimuli did not increase the grip strength any more. Although yet to be precisely assessed, the group trained in "Kendo" tended to show better reproduction of grip strength compared with the group untrained in sport. Along with the analysis of the interview we have done, our results give us perspectives of more effective use of sport onomatopoeia as a new approach to improve motion performances of the learners in sport coaching.
