Effect Of Music Auditory Stimuli During Exercise On Fatigue Caused By Aerobic Treadmill Exercise

Purpose: Test and compare the effect of music of different rhythm and preference during aerobic treadmill exercise for a long time on exercise‐induced fatigue on muscle, cardiovascular and nervous system using heart rate, choice reaction time, blood glucose, muscle strength of lower extremity and urinary protein. Use the Exercise‐induced Feeling Inventory to evaluate the emotion caused by the music in aerobic treadmill exercise. Explore and evaluate the function of music on human motion response and find the best exercise music prescription, and then to provide scientific guidance for exerting music in fitness and sports training.Methods: Choose60male college students as subjects. The subjects are divided into four groups of fast music、slow music、optional music and no music. The subjects do treadmill exercise under the standard as70%of the maximum heart rate in a quiet environment until they feel tired. During the exercise, the subjects listen to different music. Fast music group listen to fast rhythm music (120‐150times per minute) when slow music group listen to slow rhythm music (60‐80times per minute). At the same time, optional music group listen to the music that they are fond of and no music group do not listen to music. Test heart rate, choice reaction time, blood glucose, muscle strength of lower extremity and urinary protein before and after exercise. After exercise, the subjects fill the Exercise‐induced Feeling Inventory.Results: The subjects finished the treadmill exercise with completely different time. The exercise time of fast music group was quite different from other three groups (P<0.01) and there was significant difference between slow music group and optional music group (P<0.01). After exercise, heart rate of each group increased much significantly (P<0.01),10minutes after exercise, heart rate dropped obviously (P<0.01), which was also much higher than resting heart rate (P<0.01); The number of errors of choice reaction time added clearly (P<0.01) after exercise. On the contrary, blood glucose declined exactly (P<0.01); Muscle strength of lower extremity of each group was lower than that before exercise (P<0.05); Urinary protein also decreased much significantly (P<0.01);The Differences of each index between the groups are not clear (P>0.05).The results of Exercise‐induced Feeling Inventory showed that the inter‐packet difference on score of vitality excitation component table was obvious (P<0.01); There is comparative difference in the results of physical and mental calm component table (P<0.05); The difference on physiological fatigue component table between groups was significant (P<0.01); Actively subscale was a clear different (P<0.01) in the packet.Conclusion: Listening to fast paced music and favorite music during aerobic treadmill exercise can clearly prolong exercise time, arouse gainful feelings during the sport, reducing physiological fatigue in movement and alleviate the fatigue of the skeletal muscle, cardiovascular and nervous systems caused by the exercise effectively; Auditory stimuli of slow music has no obvious positive effect on prolonging exercise time, alleviating the fatigue of the skeletal muscle, cardiovascular and nervous systems caused by aerobic exercise and improving detrimental mood during the exercise.
