Study of skeletal muscle fatigue with I-POD music and with intermittent rest using bicycle ergometry
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Exercise or physical activity is one of the basic needs of human body. Healthy living is associated with regular exercise which in turn is sometimes associated with strain and ill health. The measurement of the parameters like pulse rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate before, during and after exercise directly give assessment of the cardiovascular and respiratory functional changes. Music has positive effects on people and helps in better outcomes, increasing the endurance during, acts as mood modulator, regulates blood pressure, reduces the fatigue and encourages rhythmic movement during exercise. Our study tried to evaluate the effect of music on exercise performance in young untrained subjects. Materials and Methods: In this study, we tested the effect of music on sub maximal exercise performance time duration in young adults. 50 Males were subjected to standard physical exercise with and without music. Exercise endurance, Muscle fatigue, Pulse and respiratory rates were recorded during exercise with and without indian music. Results: Total exercise duration in whole group with music (16.53 ± 0.82675** min) was significantly greater than exercise duration without music (09.50 ± 0.57383 min). Also, we observed statistically significant higher values of Maximal heart rate with music than without music. There was significant correlation between endurance during exercise, respiratory rate, blood pressure and music. Conclusion: We can conclude that listening to Indian music through I-pod definitively enhances the performance, increases pulse and duration of exercise.
