The purpose of this study was to evaluate the application of music to female students when participating in Vovinam sessions at Tran Quang Khai High School, Hochiminh City, Vietnam, to improve their physical fitness. 80 healthy female students were chosen and divided into two groups: 40 female students were in the experimental group with the application of music, and the 40 female students remaining were in the 36 training sessions without music. The music tempos were around 120-140 bpm. Two famous Vietnamese songs were chosen to use in Vovinam for training. Six fitness tests, such as 30 seconds sit-up test (evaluated the core strength), 30m sprint test (speed), 4x10m Shuttle run test (agility), standing long jump test (the explosive power of the legs), handgrip strength test (strength of the hand), 5 minutes running field test (maximal aerobic speed-MAS) were used to evaluate the physical fitness for female students. The results indicated that the application of music improved the power of the legs, agility, speed, core strength, strength of the hand, and MAS. In short, the application of music for female students participating in badminton had many benefits in increasing their physical fitness. More studies should evaluate the influence of music on many kinds of sports and assess the concentration of participants when applying music.
