[Purpose] Different types of music cancause a fluctuation of heart rate andintensity during exercise due to thevariance in rhythm. This projectevaluates heart rate and otherphysiological responses duringexercise while being exposed to twogenres of music and a control variableof no music. The two genres of musicused for the study include rap andclassical for a duration of fifteenminutes on a cycling machine set atthe lowest resistance possible. Thetwo genres of music chosen was rapand classical due to their distinctivedifferences in slow and fast pace inrhythm. [Methodology] The subjectsconsisted of Parkland College studentsbetween the ages of 20-22. In thiscross-sectional study each participantperformed two trials of classical music,rap music, and no music during theirworkout. The heart rate was recordedwith a Polar H7 sensor through thePolar beat app for a total of sixsessions per subject. [Results] Most ofthe participants experienced a higheraverage heart rate during the rapmusic sessions than the no music andclassical music sessions. There was nosignificant data proposing that nomusic sessions increased heart rateover sessions with music. [Conclusion]Rap music will cause an increase inheart rate due to the faster pace inmusic while classical music will lowerthe average heart rate during aworkout session.
ABSTRACT
Hypothesis
• Group members in the KIN 288 Exercise
Physiology section participated in
gathering research data to find the
effects of music genres on average
heart rate on a stationary bike exercise.
The exercise was done in the morning
for 15 minutes through different music
variables. No music, rap music, and
classical music were the three music
variables. The research was done twice
per variable. Average HR was combined
from the data feedbak and used to
determine/examine which has the
highest influence.
METHODSThe results of this experiment showed
that Rap music clearly had a higher heart
rate average than classical music or no
music at all. Classical music compared
with no music had a bit of fluctuation
with each person. Since rap music is
comparatively more upbeat than classical
music, so it was expected to have a higher
heart rate average between the two
sessions.
There could have also been external
factors affecting the heart rate values of
each person such as caffeine intake, food
intake, other people in the gym at the
same time, external noise level, etc.
RESULTS CONCLUSIONS
From this experiment, we learned that
cycling to different types of music
influences heart rate (HR) differently
during a workout. Rap music was shown
to slightly increase HR during a workout,
while classical music was shown to
slightly decrease HR. In addition, we
observed that when listening to classical
music some individuals HR was not as
high as those who were listening to no
music at all. We can attribute this to the
slow pace of the classical music tempo.
However, we discovered that listening to
these different types of music during
moderate to intense cycling sessions lead
to minimal changes in HR. But, like most
results of an experiment, the fluctuations
in HR varied between individuals, but an
overall pattern was observed and noted.
