Abstract
Introduction: The present study aimed at investigating the effects of listening to three types of music during exercise on heart rate, blood pressure, rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and fatigue onset time. Material and Methods: 15 female students of physical education with the mean age of 21.93±2.43 year's height of 161.8±5.22 centimeters and weight of 54.46±7.27 kilograms were randomly selected as the participants from 45 volunteers. After warm-up, the participants started pedaling at 80-85% of maximum heart rate until exhaustion. The participants performed this exercise on four different days (with a one-week interval). The first exercise session was performed without listening to music, the second session was accompanied with some exciting music, the third session was held with soft, relaxing music and the last one with arbitrary music. RPE was recorded every 3 minutes during the exercise. After exhaustion, RPE, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and fatigue onset time were recorded. One-way ANOVA (F) was used to analyze the data and LSD test was run to compare the differences (P≤0.05). Results: Listening to exciting music during exercise significantly affects heart rate, RPE and fatigue onset time but not systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Listening to relaxing music during exercise significantly affects heart rate and systolic blood pressure but not diastolic blood pressure, RPE and fatigue onset time. Listening to arbitrary music, as selected by the participants themselves, during exercise significantly affects heart rate, systolic blood pressure, RPE and fatigue onset time but not diastolic blood pressure. Discussion and Conclusion: Understanding the effects of music genre on the variables examined may help the athletes select a proper genre of music based on the type of exercise they do. For example, listening to exciting and arbitrary types of music significantly increases heart rate while relaxing music significantly decreases heart rate.
