Abstract: For years researchers have investigated the effects of music on exercise performance. Humans respond to rhythmical qualities of music by synchronizing movement pattern to tempo. Synchronous music has shown to produce an ergogenic effect. Music has a positive effect on performance. This study is to know the psychophysical effects of music in exercise domain and to study the influence of lyrics of music on exercise. In present study 30 female medical students of age group between 18 - 20years were chosen. Each subject underwent 4 sessions of exercise. Sessions without music, slow melody music of familiar language, fast beat music with familiar language lyrics and fast beat music with unknown language lyrics. In each session Duration of exercise, Distance covered and Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were recorded.Exercise performance was better when subjects exercised with music. The duration of exercise and distance covered was more for fast beat music compared to slow melody. There was no significant difference in the effect of lyrics of familiar local language or unknown language on work done. But the Perceived exertion was less during exercise with musical lyrics in known local language compared to lyrics in unknown language.Lyrics seem to convey the meaning and generate thoughts and feelings with its wordings. The motor co-ordination is better when body is in sync with the tempo of music and not much influenced by the lyrics. Keywords:Lyrics, Music, Perceivedexertion.
