The effect of different intensities of music on cardiovascular responses after the progressive exercise of male students in physical education

The number of studies investigating musical reactivity in relation to exercise has swelled considerably.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of different musical intensities on cardiovascular responsesafter the incremental exercise of male athletes in the physical education field. In this semi-experimental study andwith cross-over design, Fifteen male athletes (height = ۱.۷۹ meters, weight = ۶۹.۲۶ kg, age = ۲۳.۷۵, BMI=۲۱/۴۹kg/m۲, VO۲max=۴۳.۱۴ ml/kg/min) were voluntarily selected and perform Bruce protocol with progressive and slowmusic and without music until exhaustion. The laboratory ambient temperature was ۲۵C and the humidity was ۳۵%.Data were analyzed by Graphpad prism software version ۳.۸. This study showed that the differences of systolic anddiastolic blood pressure, maximum oxygen consumption, maximum heart rate, and the time to Exhaustioninsignificantly decreased while listening to slow music compared to the no music (p>۰/۰۵). However, thedifferences of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and maximum heart rate insignificantly increased (p>۰/۰۵), andthe maximum oxygen consumption and the time to Exhaustion significantly increased while listening to progressivemusic compared to no music (p <۰.۰۵). Also, the differences of systolic blood pressure, maximum oxygenconsumption, maximum heart rate and the time to Exhaustion significantly increased (p <۰.۰۵), but the differencesof diastolic blood pressure insignificantly decreased (p>۰/۰۵). while listening to progressive music compared toslow music. The findings show that Listening to progressive music can affect physiological factors and performancewhile exercising. It increases the athlete's motivation and postpones the time to exhaustion to continue exercising,but slow music creates a state of relaxation during exercise and reduces heart rate.
