There has been substantial evidence on the effects of music during moderate intensity exercise, however less attention has been given to the effects of music on performance during supra-maximal exercise. PURPOSE: To compare the effects of musical genre on power output during supra-maximal exercise testing. METHODS: Three genres of music (rock, dance and rap) all of similar tempo (120-155 beats per minute) were played during a supra-maximal exercise test (Wingate test). The Wingate test consisted of pedaling on a cycle ergometer as fast as possible for 30 seconds at a resistance determined from body mass. Peak anaerobic power (Pk-AnP), Fatigue Index (FI), and Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) were determined during the Wingate test. All genres were compared to a no music (CON) condition. RESULTS: A repeated measures analysis of variance (repeated-measures ANOVA) was performed to determine differences between music genres on power output. There was a difference between CON and each genre, but no differences in peak anaerobic power were seen between genres. CONCLUSION: Wingate peak anaerobic performance appears to be influenced more by the presence of music rather than the genre. |
