We experimentally studied the role of the auditory information, and its potential implications to enhance the performance in hammer throwing. We stimulated our athletes by using the rhythmic sound produced by the impact between the hammer and the air associated to the best personal throw. The results are coherent with the literature claiming that auditory information is an essential facotr to guide motor action in sport activities. This kind of suggestions, merging from applied studies in sport activities, offers important indications to develop cognitive models about mental strategies in sport.

Abstract
We experimentally studied the role of the auditory information, and its potential implications to enhance the performance in hammer throwing. We stimulated our athletes by using the rhythmic sound produced by the impact between the hammer and the air associated to the best personal throw. The results are coherent with the literature claiming that auditory information is an essential facotr to guide motor action in sport activities. This kind of suggestions, merging from applied studies in sport activities, offers important indications to develop cognitive models about mental strategies in sport.
