blood lactate (mmol/ L), power output (W). There is conflicting data regarding the effects of music on aerobic performance. On one hand, studies have suggested that music does increase aerobic exercise performance by influencing certain parameters, such as rate of perceived exertion and time to exhaustion
. However, there are studies that rebuke this notion, stating that music had no effect on aerobic performance. The reason for this disparity among data is the construction of the tests themselves. There are several factors that need to be taken into account when exploring the effects of music on exercise. Those include: exercise intensity, the subject experience in performing exercise, and type of music.

Intensity of exercise

Research predominantly measure RPE and HR when relating music and exercise intensity. There appears to be a threshold where the use of music as an aid has no ergogenic effects. Studies have found that there are no benefits to music when exercising at or above 60% of VO2max.[2][3][4] However, at or below 50% of VO2max of submaximal exercise, music has an ergogenic effect by decreasing RPE values at any given point of the exercise.[2][4] Increased exercise intensity has been shown to hinder the “distraction effect” caused by listening to music while exercising.[5]

This finding suggests that music can be beneficial for long durations of light to moderate intensity

sensory organs and therefore music won't produce the benefits as it would during low to moderate intensity exercise.[7][8]

Subject choice

Hagen et al. (2013) examined the relationship of music and exercise performance on 18 well-trained

breathing rate, and distance covered.[9] Subjects also reported that the music trial felt easier compared to the no music trials even though there was no significant difference in exercise performance.[9]

Bigliassi, Dantas, Carneiro, Smirmaul, & Altimari (2012) studied the effect of music during the warm-up and performance of a 5 km time trial of 10 amateur/professional cyclists.[10] The subjects self-selected music they believed could improve their time trial performance. The research team had the same results as the previously described study; there was no significant difference in time to completion, power output, heart rate and RPE between the control and music groups.

Music preference

Synchronous music is described as the synchronization between tempo and human movement in terms responding to the rhythmical qualities of music.[1][11] Motivational music is described as music with strong rhythms and are fast tempo (>120 bpm). Type of music has the ability to change arousal levels and may be used as a stimulant or sedative.[12][13] Music may narrow bodies awareness of fatigue.[5] Synchronous and Asynchronous music has been shown to have significant ergogenic effects on non-professional athletes.[1][11]

In a study by Karageorghis et al. (2009) the effects of motivational synchronous music, oudeterous synchronous music and a no-music control condition was examined for four dependent measures which included time to exhaustion, ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), in-task affect, and exercise-induced feelings.

undergraduates participated in the study and went through a thorough music selection procedure where they were able to choose the type of music they wanted and testers were able to create a standardized motivational music track list which would be able to create the desired affects. The subjects then walked briskly on a treadmill at an appropriate velocity that would ensure an exercise intensity of 75% maximal heart rate reserve. Results showed both music conditions had a significant effect on time to exhaustion and in-task affect. However, there were no significant differences in exercise induced feelings or RPE.[14]
