The impact of music and rhythm on exercise performance and recovery has been a subject of interest in sports science. Research has explored how different types of music and rhythmic elements can influence physical performance, perceived exertion, and physiological recovery processes.
Enhanced Recovery with Music and Rhythm:
Psychophysiological Effects of Music:
Performance Enhancement with Music:
Perceived Exertion and Fatigue:
Autonomic Nervous System Recovery:
Music, particularly motivational and fast-tempo music, can significantly enhance exercise performance and recovery. It can increase exercise duration, improve physiological recovery markers such as heart rate and lactate levels, and positively influence psychological responses, making exercise more enjoyable and less fatiguing. The rhythm component of music also plays a crucial role, although music as a whole is more effective. These findings suggest that incorporating music into exercise routines can be a beneficial strategy for both athletes and individuals in physical rehabilitation.
