Music can provide ergogenic, psychological, and psychophysical benefits during physical activity, especially when movements are performed synchronously with music. The present study developed the train of research on synchronous music and extended it to elite athletes.
Repeated-measures laboratory experiment.
Elite triathletes (n=11) ran in time to self-selected motivational music, a neutral equivalent and a no-music control during submaximal and exhaustive treadmill running. Measured variables were time-to-exhaustion, mood responses, feeling states, RPE, blood lactate concentration, oxygen consumption and running economy.
Time-to-exhaustion was 18.1% and 19.7% longer, respectively, when running in time to motivational and neutral music, compared to no music. Mood responses and feeling states were more positive with motivational music compared to either neutral music or no music. RPE was lowest for neutral music and highest for the no-music control. Blood lactate concentrations were lowest for motivational music. Oxygen consumption was lower with music by 1.0%-.7%. Both music conditions were associated with better running economy than the no-music control.
Although neutral music did not produce the same level of psychological benefits as motivational music, it proved equally beneficial in terms of time-to-exhaustion and oxygen consumption. In functional terms, the motivational qualities of music may be less important than the prominence of its beat and the degree to which participants are able to synchronise their movements to its tempo. Music provided ergogenic, psychological and physiological benefits in a laboratory study and its judicious use during triathlon training should be considered.
音乐在体育活动中能提供能量、心理和心理物理方面的益处，尤其是当动作与音乐同步进行时。本研究对同步音乐进行了研究，并将其扩展到精英运动员。
重复测量实验室实验。
11 名精英三项运动员在进行亚极限和极限跑步机跑步时，根据自己的选择，按照激励性音乐、中性音乐和无音乐三种条件进行跑步。测量的变量包括力竭时间、情绪反应、感觉状态、RPE、血乳酸浓度、耗氧量和跑步经济性。
与无音乐条件相比，激励性音乐和中性音乐条件下的力竭时间分别延长了 18.1%和 19.7%。与中性音乐或无音乐相比，激励性音乐下的情绪反应和感觉状态更为积极。RPE 以中性音乐最低，无音乐控制最高。血乳酸浓度最低的是激励性音乐。耗氧量在音乐条件下降低了 1.0%至 0.7%。与无音乐控制相比，音乐条件都与更好的跑步经济性相关。
虽然中性音乐并没有产生与激励性音乐相同的心理益处，但在力竭时间和耗氧量方面同样有益。从功能上讲，音乐的激励性质可能不如其节拍的突出性以及参与者将其动作与节奏同步的程度重要。音乐在实验室研究中提供了能量、心理和生理方面的益处，在铁人三项训练中明智地使用音乐应该被考虑。
