Previous research has yielded a contradictory picture of the effects of music on athletic performance. While athletes frequently report using music while training or during or before an event, laboratory studies have generally not detected a beneficial effect of music. The influence of music, judged mellow and frenetic, played before exercise was assessed by measuring stationary bicycle mileage. 60 volunteers from three age groups (child, adult, and senior) and with two levels of prior activity (high and low) were subjects. Each participant received three randomized 2-min. exercise trials, each preceded by 1-min. exposure to mellow music, frenetic music, or white noise. Mileage in both music conditions was significantly higher than that during the white-noise control trial except among the senior subjects. No significant differences between frenetic and mellow music were noted.
先前的研究对音乐对运动表现的影响给出了相互矛盾的描述。虽然运动员经常报告在训练期间或赛事期间或之前会听音乐，但实验室研究通常未发现音乐有有益影响。通过测量固定自行车行驶里程来评估运动前播放的舒缓型和狂热型音乐的影响。来自三个年龄组（儿童、成人和老年人）且有两种先前活动水平（高和低）的60名志愿者作为受试者。每位参与者接受三次随机的2分钟运动试验，每次试验前有1分钟接触舒缓型音乐、狂热型音乐或白噪音。除了老年受试者外，在两种音乐条件下的行驶里程均显著高于白噪音对照试验期间的里程。未发现狂热型音乐和舒缓型音乐之间有显著差异。
