“…More trials should be conducted whereby the concepts of musical affect and familiarity are closely considered. For example, music may also be used to regulate mood; this may explained why familiar music facilitated positive affect in a stressful condition 36,66 . Furthermore, whilst we used songs excerpts that had been pilot tested (perceived as easy to tap along), future studies could consider the use of self-selected music matched to participants' individual spontaneous motor tempi in comparison to a set of pre-chosen and evaluated stimuli (e.g., energetic content).…”

“…In sports science, music has been shown to be an effective environmental performance enhancer 35 . In exercise situations, people can either attend to and synchronize with aspects of the musical meter (entrain), or enjoy the extra-musical associations that can extend adherence to routine and repetitive movement programs 36 . Music has a sonic character 37 , an envelope of sound that contains several factors that may change our cognition (in terms of perception), and the associated production of motor behaviors [38][39][40][41] .…”

Finger-tapping tasks are classically used to investigate sensorimotor synchronization in relation to neutral auditory cues, such as metronomes. However, music is more commonly associated with an entrained bodily response, such as toe tapping, or dancing. Here we report an experimental procedure that was designed to bridge the gap between timing and intervention studies by directly comparing the effects of metronome and musical cue types on motor timing abilities across the three naturalistic voluntary actions of finger tapping, toe tapping, and stepping on the spot as a simplified case of whole body movement. Both pacing cues were presented at slow, medium, and fast tempi. The findings suggested that the task of stepping on the spot enabled better timing performances than tapping both in younger and older adults (75+). Timing performances followed an inverse U shape with best performances observed in the medium tempi that were set close to the spontaneous motor tempo in each movement type. Finally, music provided an entrainment effect in addition to pace setting that enabled better motor timing and greater stability than classically reported using a metronome. By applying time-stamp analyses to kinetic data, we demonstrate that tapping and stepping engage different timing modes. This work details the importance of translational research for a better understanding of motor timing. It offers a simple procedure that strengthens the validity of applying academic work and contributes in knowledge towards a wide range of therapeutic interventions.

“…Mode of music delivery is examined by coding effects on the basis of whether they relate to the pretask, asynchronous, or synchronous applications of music, in accord with the definitions provided by Karageorghis (2020). Synchronous applications are not split into active (i.e., conscious synchronization of movement rate with music) and passive (i.e., technology-mediated adaptation of music tempo in realtime) categories, as recently suggested by Karageorghis, owing to a paucity of data for the latter.…”

“…Investigations into the benefits of music during exercise- and sport-related activities have a long history, dating back at least to Ayres (1911) who observed that competitors in a 6-day cycle race traveled 8.5% faster when a military band was playing. Since then, music has been shown to be associated with improved physical performance in a broad range of activities (see Karageorghis, 2020 for a review).…”

Regular physical activity has multifarious benefits for physical and mental health, and music has been found to exert positive effects on physical activity. Summative literature reviews and conceptual models have hypothesized potential benefits and salient mechanisms associated with music listening in exercise and sport contexts, although no large-scale objective summary of the literature has been conducted. A multilevel meta-analysis of 139 studies was used to quantify the effects of music listening in exercise and sport domains. In total, 600 effect sizes from four categories of potential benefits (i.e., psychological responses, physiological responses, psychophysical responses, and performance outcomes) were calculated based on 3,599 participants. Music was associated with significant beneficial effects on affective valence (g = 0.48, CI = 0.39, 0.56), physical performance (g = 0.31, CI = 0.25, 0.36), perceived exertion (g = 0.22, CI = 0.14, 0.30), and oxygen consumption (g = 0.15, CI = 0.02, 0.27). No significant benefit of music was found for heart rate (g = 0.07, CI =-0.03, 0.16). Performance effects were moderated by study domain (exercise > sport) and music tempo (fast > slow-to-medium). Overall, results supported the use of music listening across a range of physical activities to promote positive affective valence, enhance physical performance (i.e., ergogenic effect), reduce perceived exertion, and improve physiological efficiency.

“…If music can be proven to increase athletes' urge to move and feeling of pleasure, it is likely that it also increases their motivation for training and has a positive effect on their endurance. The relationship between the Experience of Groove scales and the six-item single-scale Brunel Music Rating Inventory that measures the motivational effect of music in sports and exercise needs to be investigated (Clark, Baker, Peiris, Shoebridge, & Taylor, 2016;Karageorghis, 2020). Further, the pleasure scale measures a fundamental aesthetic response to music (Cupchik & Gebotys, 1990).…”

Experience of Groove Questionnaire

et al. 2020

Music often triggers a pleasurable urge in listeners to move their bodies in response to the rhythm. In music psychology, this experience is commonly referred to as groove. This study presents the Experience of Groove Questionnaire, a newly developed self-report questionnaire that enables respondents to subjectively assess how strongly they feel an urge to move and pleasure while listening to music. The development of the questionnaire was carried out in several stages: candidate questionnaire items were generated on the basis of the groove literature, and their suitability was judged by fifteen groove and rhythm research experts. Two listening experiments were carried out in order to reduce the number of items, to validate the instrument, and to estimate its reliability. The final questionnaire consists of two scales with three items each that reliably measure respondents’ urge to move (Cronbach’s α = .92) and their experience of pleasure (α = .97) while listening to music. The two scales are highly correlated (r = .80), which indicates a strong association between motor and emotional responses to music. The scales of the Experience of Groove Questionnaire can independently be applied in groove research and in a variety of other research contexts in which listeners’ subjective experience of music-induced movement and enjoyment need to be addressed: for example the study of the interaction between music and motivation in sports and research on therapeutic applications of music in people with neurological movement disorders.
