THE EFFECTS OF MUSIC ON SUB-MAXIMAL EXERCISE
Abstract
In using different variables to understand if Music has any effect on an individual’s exercise program can solidify the theory if the motivation is useful towards a submaximal exercise. Studies show that the use of music can change a person’s Heart Rate (HR)1, Rate of Perceived Exhaustion(RPE)2, Blood Pressure(BP)3, and Maximal oxygen consumption(VO2max)3.Research shows that listening to music helps elevate these variables and lowers the heart rate giving the individual a better exercise experience. 4
