EFFECT OF MUSICAL TEMPO ON POST-EXERCISE RECOVERY TIME OF CARDIOVASCULAR PARAMETERS FOLLOWING MODERATE ISOTONIC EXERCISE IN YOUNG HEALTHY INDIAN MALES
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background & objectives: People are increasingly using background music for enhancing exercise and sports performance, but selection of a particular musical tempo is often based on individual preference, rather than scientific evidence. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the effect of musical tempo on post exercise recovery of physiological parameters. Methods: Fifty young healthy males were allowed to relax in silence, with slow Indian classical music and with fast hip-hop music after moderate isotonic exercise by Harvard step test. Radial pulse rate and blood pressure were measured pre and post exercise, and post-exercise recovery time of these parameters was noted. Results: Post-exercise recovery time of pulse rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure was significantly less when participants were allowed to relax with music. Furthermore, these parameters returned to baseline earlier with slow music as compared to fast music. Interpretation & Conclusion: Music, especially slow Indian classical music, can accelerate post-exercise recovery of physiological parameters.
