- Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of listening to music during progressive exercises on perceived exertion rate and performance, as well as to evaluate the effects of fitness differences on the effectiveness of music. Twenty four healthy students (the trained group: n =12, age mean = 23.31±2.06 and untrained group: n = 12, age mean = 22.96±2.31) voluntarily participated in this study. In one session the participants were familiarized with the way the test is performed and with its evaluation instruments. The participants took part in the Bruce Test during the first session, where some of them were randomly chosen to listen to music, while others were not. During the second session, those who had been chosen to listen, took part in the Test without listening to music and vice versa. The result of the ANOVA revealed that the effects of music on the RPE and time leading to exhaustion were significant (P<0.05). In addition, monitoring the interaction between music and fitness showed that the effect of music on the RPE depended significantly on fitness, but it was not significant when it came to performance. The music had a greater effect on the RPE among untrained subjects than the trained ones. The results suggest that using music in progressive exercise would have a positive effect in terms of performance and the psychological state of the athlete, regardless of the level of fitness.
