“…Lower RPE was reported when listening to the preferred music compared to nonpreferred and no-music conditions during strength-endurance exercise in young adults ( Silva et al, 2021 ). Instead, results from Feiss et al (2021) revealed that, while performing wall-sit and plank exercises, the presence of music (fast and slow tempo: 120 and 90 bpm respectively) did not affect HR, RPE, or affective responses in 63 physically active young adults. However, both fast and slow-tempo music promoted a dissociative effect in the wall-sit exercise and overall, both music conditions were well-liked, as reported by the music enjoyment scale ( Feiss et al, 2021 ).…”

The use of music during warm-up and while performing a resistance circuit revealed lower levels of RPE, HR, and higher systolic blood pressure compared to a warm-up and resistance circuit done in the no-music condition in 12 strength-trained males ( Arazi, Asadi & Purabed, 2015 ).…”

“…Scientific evidence has shown different results regarding the effects of listening to music on muscle-strengthening exercises ( i.e ., resistance exercises). Most scientific literature has been focused on the effects of music on muscle-strengthening physical performance, psychological ( e.g ., mood, feeling status, enjoyment), psychophysical ( e.g ., RPE), and physiological ( e.g ., HR) responses in recreationally active participants ( Biagini et al, 2012 ; Bartolomei, Di Michele & Merni, 2015 ; Ballmann et al, 2021 ; Silva et al, 2021 ; Moss, Enright & Cushman, 2018 ; Feiss et al, 2021 ). Therefore, this section highlights the main findings on the application of music in muscular fitness tasks in recreationally active exercisers.…”

Music is made up of several features (e.g., melody and rhythm) and it accompanies our life in different daily activities. During the last years, there was a growing interest in research about the music-related effects in the exercise domain. Music stimuli could act as an ergogenic effect leading to improvements in health-related and physical fitness components like cardiorespiratory endurance and muscular fitness. Moreover, listening to music may positively affect individuals’ psychological state which could lead to increased exercise adherence. Conflicting data exist regarding the effects of music on cardiorespiratory and muscle-strengthening exercises indicating that music’s characteristics (i.e., rhythm and musicality), studied samples (i.e., athletes and amateur) and methodology (i.e., self-selected music and research-selected music) might influence the results. Listening to music while exercising is becoming more frequent also in recreationally active individuals. While literature mainly focused on the effects of music in elite and amateur athletes, little data are available regarding recreationally active participants. Therefore, this review aims to summarize evidence regarding the effects of music on health-related physical fitness components in recreationally active individuals, specifically referring to cardiorespiratory endurance and muscular fitness. These outcomes will be helpful to all recreationally active participants to optimize the exercise protocol with the use of music.

“…Conversely, out-of-tune fast music evoked stronger event-related synchronization for the group exposed to approximately 1600–2000 ms after word presentation. The high-density and high-energy acoustic properties of fast music can arouse more pleasant affective responses with enhanced dissociative attention than slow music ( Feiss et al, 2020 ). Music with a slow tempo evokes sadness or relaxation with a reduction in heart rate ( Hilz et al, 2014 ).…”

Music tempo is closely connected to listeners’ musical emotion and multifunctional neural activities. Music with increasing tempo evokes higher emotional responses and music with decreasing tempo enhances relaxation. However, the neural substrate of emotion evoked by dynamically changing tempo is still unclear. To investigate the spatial connectivity and temporal dynamic functional network connectivity (dFNC) of musical emotion evoked by dynamically changing tempo, we collected dynamic emotional ratings and conducted group independent component analysis (ICA), sliding time window correlations, and k-means clustering to assess the FNC of emotion evoked by music with decreasing tempo (180–65 bpm) and increasing tempo (60–180 bpm). Music with decreasing tempo (with more stable dynamic valences) evoked higher valence than increasing tempo both with stronger independent components (ICs) in the default mode network (DMN) and sensorimotor network (SMN). The dFNC analysis showed that with time-decreasing FNC across the whole brain, emotion evoked by decreasing music was associated with strong spatial connectivity within the DMN and SMN. Meanwhile, it was associated with strong FNC between the DMN–frontoparietal network (FPN) and DMN–cingulate-opercular network (CON). The paired t-test showed that music with a decreasing tempo evokes stronger activation of ICs within DMN and SMN than that with an increasing tempo, which indicated that faster music is more likely to enhance listeners’ emotions with multifunctional brain activities even when the tempo is slowing down. With increasing FNC across the whole brain, music with an increasing tempo was associated with strong connectivity within FPN; time-decreasing connectivity was found within CON, SMN, VIS, and between CON and SMN, which explained its unstable valence during the dynamic valence rating. Overall, the FNC can help uncover the spatial and temporal neural substrates of musical emotions evoked by dynamically changing tempi.

“…Musical accompaniment is documented to enhance performance in endurance exercise modalities [1][2][3] as well as in muscular strength ones [4]. However, in movement coordination and stability (MCS) exercise modalities (i. e., Pilates), a musical accompaniment is unadvised as obstructive for their fundament of preferred movement pace [5,6].…”

A musical accompaniment is often used in movement coordination and stability exercise modalities, although considered obstructive for their fundament of preferred movement pace. This study examined if the rhythmic strength of musical excerpts used in movement coordination and exercise modalities allows the preferred spatio-temporal pattern of movement. Voluntary and spontaneous body sway (70 s) were tested (N=20 young women) in a non-musical (preferred) and two rhythmic strength (RS) musical conditions (Higher:HrRS, Lower:LrRS). The center of pressure trajectory was used for the body sway spatio-temporal characteristics (Kistler forceplate, 100 Hz). Statistics included paired t-tests between each musical condition and the non-musical one, as well as between musical conditions (p≤0.05). Results indicated no significant difference between the musical and the non-musical conditions (p>0.05). The HrRS differed significantly from LrRS only in the voluntary body sway, with increased sway duration (p=0.03), center of pressure path (p=0.04) and velocity (p=0.01). The findings provide evidence-based support for the rhythmic strength recommendations in movement coordination and stability exercise modalities. The HrRS to LrRS differences in voluntary body sway most possibly indicate that low-frequency musical features rather than just tempo and pulse clarity are also important.
