Book The Effects of Self Selected Vs Researcher Selected Music on Psychological  Physiological and Performance Outcomes During a Running Task

Download or read book The Effects of Self Selected Vs Researcher Selected Music on Psychological Physiological and Performance Outcomes During a Running Task written by Jermel Pierre and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study examined the effects of self-selected versus researcher-selected music on psychological, physiological and performance variables during a treadmill running task. Male and female participants (n = 30) performed a 30-minute treadmill run to their own self-selected music, researcher-selected motivational music and a no-music condition. Participants were assessed on intrinsic motivation, enjoyment, RPE, distance and heart rate. A series of repeated measures ANOVAs were used to analyse the data. Results indicated that following listening to their self-selected music, participants reported being more intrinsically motivated, more enjoyment, greater rating of perceived exertion and greater distance run. This study suggest that self-selected music may be an avenue to helping individuals overcome barriers to physical activity such as intrinsic motivation and enjoyment to help promote greater physical activity participation and adherence.

Book The Impact of Music on Human Development and Well Being

Download or read book The Impact of Music on Human Development and Well Being written by Michele Biasutti and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2020-07-17 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music is one of the most universal ways of expression and communication in human life and is present in the everyday lives of people of all ages and from all cultures around the world. Music represents an enjoyable activity in and of itself, but its influence goes beyond simple amusement. Listening to music, singing, playing, composing and improvising, individually and collectively, are common activities for many people: these activities not only allow the expression of personal inner states and feelings, but also can bring many positive effects to those who engage in them. There is an increasing wealth of literature concerning the wider benefits of musical activity, and research in the sciences associated with music suggests that there are many dimensions of human life (physical, social, psychological—including cognitive and emotional) which can be affected positively by music. The impact that musical activity has on human life can be found in different processes, including a transfer of learning from the musical to another cognitive domain. Abilities that have been developed through music education and training may also be effectively applied in other cognitive tasks. Engagement in successful music activity may also have a positive impact on social skills and social inclusion, thus supporting the participation of the individual in collective and collaborative musical events. The promotion of social participation through music can foster many kinds of inclusion, including intercultural, intergenerational, and support for those who are differently abled. The aim of this Research Topic is to present a diverse range of original articles that investigate and discuss, in different ways, the crucial role that musical activity can play in human development and well-being.

Book The Effects of Self selected Music on Time to Exhaustion and Rate of Perceived Exertion in Female and Male Runners

Download or read book The Effects of Self selected Music on Time to Exhaustion and Rate of Perceived Exertion in Female and Male Runners written by Tammy Burden and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine if listening to self selected music while running on a treadmill would have an effect on time to exhaustion and RPE in male and female runners. SUBJECTS: Seventeen volunteers, 6 males (x age = 25.7 + 4.0) and 11 females (x age = 21.7 + 1.3) between the ages of 18 and 35 participated in this study. Subjects had no lower extremity injury with in the last 6 months, ran 6 miles a week, and had treadmill experience. METHODS: Subjects were randomly assigned to either the music or no music test condition. All subjects were tested under both conditions three days apart. The test began with a 2 minute warm-up at 3 mph and 0% grade. The speed was increased 1 mph each minute until 80% - 85% of maximal predicted heart rate was reached. Time recording and music began when the subject maintained this heart rate for 21 seconds. The speed remained constant. RPE was recorded at one minute intervals until volitional exhaustion was reached. A 2-5 minute cool down at 3 mph and 0% grade was performed when volitional exhaustion was reached. ANALYSIS: A repeated measures ANOVA revealed a significant increase in RPE level. A Fisher Protected t LSD multiple comparisons revealed that RPE scores significantly increased throughout the test. No significant difference was found between gender and RPE level. A second ANOVA revealed significantly longer times to exhaustion when subjects ran with music than without music. No significant difference was found between male and female subjects with respect to time to exhaustion. CONCLUSION: Listening to self selected music while exercising prolongs a subject's time to exhaustion. Self selected music has no effect on RPE values reported by male and female subjects. Using music in clinical settings may increase motivation and performance.

Book The Psychological Effect of Self selected Music on Exercise Enjoyment and Perceived Exertion During a Maximum Graded Exercise Test

Download or read book The Psychological Effect of Self selected Music on Exercise Enjoyment and Perceived Exertion During a Maximum Graded Exercise Test written by Blake J. Vostrirancky and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this study was to see if music had any influence on subjective perception of exercise at different stages of intensity during a maximum graded exercise test. Experimenter-selected music and subject's self-selected music was additionally examined to assess any significant differences in exercise exertion perception and enjoyment. Subjects exercised to three conditions while performing a maximum graded exercise test on a treadmill. The three conditions were experimenter-selected music, self-selected music, and a control of no music. Borg's Rating of Perceived Exertion along with other subjective exercise variables were obtained during data collection. Results showed that there was a difference in preference to the music selection. Subject's overwhelmingly preferred their own songs to the experimenter-selected songs, which contributed to a distinct separation of music conditions. However, this did not yield any significant results in perceived exertion levels or exercise enjoyment. This study showed that when subjects perform a mzximum graded exercise test, music has no effect on ratings of perceived exertion, exercise enjoyment, or post exercise feelings.

Download or read book Rhythm Music and the Brain written by Michael Thaut and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the advent of modern cognitive neuroscience and new tools of studying the human brain "live," music as a highly complex, temporally ordered and rule-based sensory language quickly became a fascinating topic of study. The question of "how" music moves us, stimulates our thoughts, feelings, and kinesthetic sense, and how it can reach the human experience in profound ways is now measured with the advent of modern cognitive neuroscience. The goal of Rhythm, Music and the Brain is an attempt to bring the knowledge of the arts and the sciences and review our current state of study about the brain and music, specifically rhythm. The author provides a thorough examination of the current state of research, including the biomedical applications of neurological music therapy in sensorimotor speech and cognitive rehabilitation. This book will be of interest for the lay and professional reader in the sciences and arts as well as the professionals in the fields of neuroscientific research, medicine, and rehabilitation.

Book The Influence of Music and Music Video on Self selected Exercise Intenstiy and Psychophysiological Variables

Download or read book The Influence of Music and Music Video on Self selected Exercise Intenstiy and Psychophysiological Variables written by Jessica E. Ballister and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The study was designed to explore the influence of music and music-video compared to control (silent) conditions on self-selected walking exercise intensity and psychophysiological responses (i.e., perceived exertion, attentional focus, affect, and heart rate). Aerobically trained female participants (N = 21, Mean age = 21.00 years, SD = 2.29) completed three 15 min self-paced walking trials under 3 separate conditions (i.e., music, musicvideo, and control/silent). Psychophysiological variables were measured at 5 min intervals during the task. Total distance was recorded at the end of each condition. Significant main effects of time were found for RPE and heart rate; both increased over time. Music-video promoted more positive affect and elevated heart rate when compared to control, and the highest level of dissociation. Musiconly was also found to promote improved affect, and more attentional dissociation and farther total distance than control. Music and music-video had a positive influence on psychophysiological responses, and music had a positive ergogenic influence on self-selected intensity during aerobic exercise.
