The effects of music played during an exercise task on athletic performance have been previously studied. Yet, these results are not applicable for competitive athletes, who can use music only during warm-up or recovery from exercise. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of motivational music (music that stimulates or inspires physical activity) during recovery from intense exercise, on activity pattern, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and blood lactate concentration. Twenty young, active men (mean age 26.2 ± 2.1 years) performed a 6-minute run at peak oxygen consumption speed (predetermined from the VO(2) max test). The mean heart rate (HR), RPE, number of steps (determined by step counter), and blood lactate concentrations were determined at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 minutes during the recovery from the exercise, with and without motivational music (2 separate sessions, at random order). There was no difference in the mean HR during the recovery with and without music. Listening to motivational music during the recovery was associated with increased voluntary activity of the participants, determined by increased number of steps (499.4 ± 220.1 vs. 413.2 ± 150.6 steps, with and without music, respectively; p ≤ 0.05). The increased number of steps during the recovery was accompanied by a significantly greater decrease in blood lactate concentration percentage (28.1 ± 12.2 vs. 22.8 ± 10.9%, with and without music, respectively, p ≤ 0.05). This was associated with a greater decrease in RPE (77.7 ± 14.4 vs. 73.1 ± 14.7% with and without music, respectively; p ≤ 0.05). Our results suggest that listening to motivational music during nonstructured recovery from intense exercise leads to increased activity, faster lactate clearance, and reduced RPE and therefore may be used by athletes in their effort to enhance recovery.
在运动任务期间播放音乐对运动表现的影响之前已经进行了研究。然而，这些结果不适用于竞技运动员，他们只能在热身或运动后恢复期间使用音乐。因此，本研究的目的是确定在剧烈运动后恢复期间听激励音乐（刺激或激发身体活动的音乐）对活动模式、感知用力率（RPE）和血乳酸浓度的影响。20 名年轻、活跃的男性（平均年龄 26.2 ± 2.1 岁）以最大摄氧量速度进行 6 分钟跑步（根据 VO 2 max 测试确定）。在运动后恢复期间，分别使用和不使用激励音乐（2 个独立的会话，随机顺序），在 3、6、9、12 和 15 分钟时测定平均心率（HR）、RPE、步数（由计步器确定）和血乳酸浓度。在有和没有音乐的情况下，恢复期间的平均 HR 没有差异。在恢复期间听激励音乐与参与者的自愿活动增加有关，这表现为步数增加（分别为 499.4 ± 220.1 和 413.2 ± 150.6 步；p ≤ 0.05）。在恢复期间，由于血乳酸浓度百分比显著降低，步数增加（分别为 28.1 ± 12.2 和 22.8 ± 10.9%，有和没有音乐，p ≤ 0.05）。这与 RPE 的更大降低有关（分别为 77.7 ± 14.4 和 73.1 ± 14.7%，有和没有音乐，p ≤ 0.05）。我们的研究结果表明，在非结构化的剧烈运动后恢复期间听激励音乐可以增加活动、更快地清除乳酸，降低 RPE，因此运动员可能会利用它来增强恢复。
