Abstract
Introduction: This study examines how impulsive noise impacts athlete performance and spectator behavior at school sports events, using 60 students divided into control and experimental groups to assess effects on reaction time, accuracy, and stress. Objective: to determine the extent to which impulsive noise impacts athletic performance and spectator reactions during school sports events. Methodology: participants were exposed to varying levels of noise during athletic tasks to measure reaction times, accuracy, and stress indicators. the study utilized controlled auditory environments to simulate real-world sports event conditions. Results: the findings indicate that elevated noise levels significantly impair athletic performance, with a strong correlation observed between increased noise intensity and heightened spectator enthusiasm. additionally, elevated noise was found to exacerbate stress in athletes, leading to reduced focus and performance consistency. Discussion: contrasting these results with existing research, the negative impact of noise on performance aligns with studies emphasizing the importance of optimal auditory conditions for sports activities. however, the increase in spectator enthusiasm suggests a complex interaction between environment and spectator behavior. Conclusions: implementing effective interventions, such as controlled cheering and sound monitoring technology, can create an environment that balances spectator excitement with the support needed for athlete concentration and performance, ultimately fostering a healthier and more supportive experience for all participants.
