Background: This study aimed to clarify the effect of music tempo on runners’ perception of fatigue at different exercise intensities and while listening to music of different tempos through running experiments. Methods: This study used a within-subject two-factor experimental design with music tempo (fast music, slow music, no music) and exercise intensity (high intensity, low intensity) as independent variables and the time to fatigue perception (TFP), the difference in heart rate (HR) and the difference in the median frequency (MF) of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals as observation indexes. Eighteen participants completed a total of 108 sets of running experiments. Results: (1) The main effect of music tempo on the TFP was significant (p < 0.001). (2) The main effect of exercise intensity on the TFP was significant (p < 0.001), and the main effect on the difference in HR was significant (p < 0.001). (3) The interaction effect of music tempo and exercise intensity on the TFP was significant (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Exercisers’ subjective perception of fatigue was affected by music tempo and the interaction between music tempo and exercise intensity, and exercisers’ objective fatigue perception was influenced mostly by exercise intensity. The findings of this study provide guidance for runners’ choice of music at different intensities of exercise. Whether it is low-intensity exercise or high-intensity exercise, listening to fast music while exercising can help runners perform better mentally and physically during their runs.
本研究旨在通过跑步实验，阐明音乐节奏对跑步者在不同运动强度下以及在听不同节奏音乐时疲劳感知的影响。方法：本研究采用受试者内双因素实验设计，以音乐节奏（快节奏音乐、慢节奏音乐、无音乐）和运动强度（高强度、低强度）为自变量，以疲劳感知时间（TFP）、心率差异（HR）和表面肌电图（sEMG）信号的中位频率差异（MF）为观察指标。18名参与者共完成了108组跑步实验。结果：（1）音乐节奏对TFP的主效应显著（p < 0.001）。（2）运动强度对TFP的主效应显著（p < 0.001），对HR差异的主效应显著（p < 0.001）。（3）音乐节奏和运动强度对TFP的交互效应显著（p < 0.05）。结论：运动者对疲劳的主观感知受音乐节奏以及音乐节奏与运动强度之间的交互作用影响，而运动者的客观疲劳感知主要受运动强度影响。本研究结果为跑步者在不同运动强度下选择音乐提供了指导。无论是低强度运动还是高强度运动，跑步时听快节奏音乐都有助于跑步者在跑步过程中在心理和身体方面表现得更好。
