| Popis: | Purpose To examine whether listening to motivational music mitigates heat-related reductions in exercise performance, and leads to a greater increase in thermal and cardiovascular strain. Methods Twelve participants (26 ± 5 y, 77.5 ± 17.0 kg, 49 ± 8 ml·min-1·kg-1) completed 30-min of cycling preload at 50% VO2max followed by a 5-min rest and 15-min cycling time trial on seven separate occasions; three familiarisation sessions in a 20 °C room and four experimental trials in a climatic chamber regulated at either 21 °C, 50%RH (NEU) or 36 °C, 50%RH (HOT), each with and without the participant listening to self-selected motivational music during the 5-min rest and 15-min time trial. Measures of total work, core temperature and heart rate and blood pressure (from which rate-pressure product for cardiovascular strain was calculated), were recorded. Results Without music, total work was lower (p Conclusion Listening to motivational music mitigated heat-related reductions in exercise performance with an improvement in performance in the heat of ~10%. This improved exercise performance led to a greater increase in thermal and cardiovascular strain in the heat but did not exceed levels typically associated with an elevated health risk in a young, healthy population. |
