Background Emotion regulation is an important aspect of athlete performance, especially in the training phase which requires high concentration and emotional control. This study aims to examine the role of classical music application in athletes' emotion regulation in the training phase. Methods The method used was experimental with a One Group Pre-test and Post-test Design, involving 12 athletes aged 17-20 years. The intervention was listening to classical music at a fast tempo before training (6 minutes) and slow tempo after training (4 minutes) for 4 weeks. Results.The results showed a significant 13% improvement in athletes' emotion regulation. Statistical analysis shows that classical music has proven to be significantly effective as a non-pharmacological tool to improve emotional balance, focus and mental resilience in athletes during the training phase. Conclusions. The study concluded that the application of classical music significantly improved athletes' emotion regulation in the training phase. These findings support the integration of classical music therapy into training programmes as a holistic approach to performance optimisation.
