Rhythm-based training has been proposed to enhance athletes&#39; adaptability, refine timing, and optimize psychological readiness within unpredictable and dynamic environments.<br> <strong>Objectives. </strong>This systematic review evaluated the effects of rhythm training on athletic performance across various open skill sports.<br> <strong>Methods. </strong>A systematic search was conducted across four electronic databases (PubMed, EBSCO, Web of Science, and Scopus) from inception through January 3, 2026. The included studies employed physical or technical rhythm-based interventions, including interactive metronome training, music stimuli, tempo-regulated exercises with heart rate feedback, and rhythmic competence assessments. All included studies involved athletes participating in open skill sports.<br> <strong>Results. </strong>Seven studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings indicate that rhythm training can positively influence both physiological and psychological outcomes, including improved heart rate regulation, reduced fatigue, enhanced emotional stability, and greater rhythmic competence. These adaptations were associated with better reaction time, increased movement accuracy, and improved technical consistency in sport-specific tasks.<br> <strong>Conclusion. </strong>Rhythm training appears to be a promising approach for enhancing athletic performance in open skill sports. Further research should investigate its long-term effects and applicability across diverse athletic populations, integrating both physiological and psychological outcome measures.</div> Rhythm Training, Music Tempo, Open Skill Sports, Sport Performance. 0 0 http://aassjournal.com/browse.php?a_code=A-11-2214-12&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Linghong Liu liulinghong@student.usm.my 100319475328460017692 0009-0006-9044-911X No Institute of Physical Education, Jiangsu Normal University, Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, 221116, China Xiaojun Jian xiaojunjian1109@163.com 100319475328460017693 0009-0005-0176-797X No University of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, No. 369, Qingdao National High-Tech Industrial Development Zone, Shandong Province, China Bustang Bustang b.bustang@unm.ac.id 100319475328460017694 100319475328460017694 No Department of Health and Sport Science, Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, Universitas Negeri Makassar, Indonesia Yee Cheng Kueh yckueh@usm.my 100319475328460017695 100319475328460017695 No Biostatistics and Research Methodology Unit, School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 16150 Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, Malaysia Garry Kuan garry@usm.my 100319475328460017696 100319475328460017696 Yes Exercise and Sports Science Programme, School of Health Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 16150 Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, Malaysia
