The current research is semi-experimental using a pre-test-post-test design with an intervention control group. For this purpose, 24 active volleyball players in the Southwest Tehran Volleyball Board were selected based on the entry criteria and were randomly divided into two experimental (N=12) and control (N=12) groups. In the experimental group, the subjects received a 60-70 minute session of the mindfulness program based on improving sports performance for six weeks. At this time, in the control group, in the same conditions as the experimental group, the chat program was conducted, including a review of the history, rules and some analyzes of volleyball. In the pre-test and post-test, measurements were taken of all the people present in the two experimental and control groups, including the mental performance and mental strength questionnaire, as well as the sports performance test in volleyball. To analyze the data, statistical tests of mixed analysis of variance and Anova and Bonferroni's post hoc test were used with SPSS software.
Findings: The results of mixed variance analysis in the variables of mental strength, smooth execution and performance showed that the main effect of the test (between pre-test and post-test stages) and also the effect of group interaction with the test were significant (p<0.05). No difference was observed between the experimental and control groups in the scores of mental strength, smooth performance and performance in the pre-test (p>0.05). However, in the post-test stage, a significant difference was observed in the research variables between the two groups (p<0.05).

Introduction: For many years, researchers have sought different ways to improve the sports activity of the elderly. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of motivational music and video stimuli on cardiorespiratory responses in the elderly during walking.
Methods: The current research was applied quasi-experimentally with a within-subject design. The participants of this research included 24 elderly individuals aged 65 to 75 years old. Then the participants walked on the treadmill at 3 to 5 km/h for 5 to 8 minutes. Participants were assessed under three different conditions (motivational music, motivational video, and no intervention) using a respiratory gas analysis device (resting calorie consumption, total body energy expenditure rate, ventilation-to-oxygen uptake ratio, ventilation-to-carbon dioxide ratio) and the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale to record each individual's perception of effort and activity.
Results: The results of repeated measures ANOVA and Bonferroni's post hoc test showed that in the motivational music condition, there were significant differences in variables such as resting calorie consumption, perceived exertion, total body energy expenditure rate, and ventilation-to-oxygen uptake ratio compared to the motivational video and no-intervention conditions. However, no significant difference was observed in the ventilation-to-carbon dioxide ratio variable.
Conclusion: It seems that walking with motivational music improves cardio-respiratory response variables in the elderly.
