Objective of the study was to rate benefits of differently styled musical accompaniments for the training process efficiency in academic kettlebell lifting sport.
Methods and structure of the study. We sampled for the study the 18-22-year-old kettlebell lifters from Tyumen Industrial University qualified Class II to CMS and tested them for one year in the training process with and without musical accompaniment. The test data were processed by the variation statistics analysis to obtain the following test rates: variation index in percent; result reliability rate Sх; average accuracy rate Сs; and arithmetic mean as the key test rate, with data presented in M±mx format. Variation range of every index was rated by variation index.
Results and conclusion. The study found that music accompaniments of different styles facilitate the training process in somewhat different manners. The musical accompaniment backed trainings were tested to improve physical fitness of the sample by 12% on average. Rock music (rock musical accompaniment) was tested to spur up the performance higher than the other styles – by 22.1% on average versus 7.2% and 2.1% in the pop and classical musical accompaniment tests, respectively. This finding gives the grounds to recommend rock musical accompaniment being applied for the sports training efficiency and performance improvement purposes.

Keywords: musical accompaniment, efficiency, training process, musical style, strength training.
