“Optimal Music for the Gym”

Corrie Foos · Apr 2, 2013 · Leave a Comment

From WSJ, April 2, 2013, in the section on ‘Your Health.’ discusses music for your workouts.

 

  • At the right tempo, music can reduce the sense of exertion as well as boost motivation

 

  • When athletes synchronize their movements to a musical beat, their bodies can handle more exertion

 

  • Music can alter emotional and physiological arousal much like a pharmacological stimulant or sedative

 

  •  The benefits of music seem most pronounced during low-to-moderate-intensity exercise,…more effective for recreational exercisers than elite athletes

 


Seems to confirm that the right exercise equipment includes a good playlist!
