The Effect of Music Tempo on Fatigue Perception at Different Exercise Intensities.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to clarify the effect of music tempo on runners' perception of fatigue at different exercise intensities and while listening to music of different tempos through running experiments.

Methods

This study used a within-subject two-factor experimental design with music tempo (fast music, slow music, no music) and exercise intensity (high intensity, low intensity) as independent variables and the time to fatigue perception (TFP), the difference in heart rate (HR) and the difference in the median frequency (MF) of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals as observation indexes. Eighteen participants completed a total of 108 sets of running experiments.

Results

(1) The main effect of music tempo on the TFP was significant (p < 0.001). (2)
