The current study examines the relationships between physical activity and fitness and reactivity to a musical performance stressor (MPS). Numerous studies suggest that being fitter and more physically active has a beneficial effect on individuals' cardiovascular responses to laboratory-based mental challenges. The results are equivocal regarding the transfer of such benefits to real world contexts such as musical performance.
Forty six advanced music students completed this assessment.
All participants completed a 20-min pre-performance assessment of heart rate (HR), HR variability (HRV) and blood pressure. Participants also completed baseline measures and a sub-maximal fitness assessment on a separate day.
A positive association between fitness and HR pre-MPS was found. Fitness was also positively associated with root mean square SD RR(interval) before the MPS. Higher fitness was related to lower state anxiety post-MPS.
Implications of the findings are discussed in relation to classical musicians' day-to-day work and performance.
本研究探讨身体活动与体能以及对音乐表演应激源（MPS）的反应之间的关系。众多研究表明，身体更健康且更积极地进行体育活动对个体在实验室环境下应对心理挑战时的心血管反应具有有益影响。然而，关于这种益处能否转移到诸如音乐表演等现实情境中，结果并不明确。
46名高级音乐专业学生完成了此次评估。
所有参与者在表演前进行了20分钟的心率（HR）、心率变异性（HRV）和血压评估。参与者还在另外一天完成了基线测量和次最大体能评估。
发现体能与MPS前的HR呈正相关。体能与MPS前的均方根标准差RR（间期）也呈正相关。更高的体能与MPS后的状态焦虑较低有关。
结合古典音乐家的日常工作和表演对研究结果的意义进行了讨论。
