Abstract
Listening to music during exercise is a widely used strategy to enhance physical performance and reduce perceived exertion. However, the effects of different music tempos on physiological responses remain varied. This study aimed to investigate and compare heart rate (HR) and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) during treadmill exercise while listening to music at different tempos in working-age women. Twelve working-age women ran on a treadmill for 20 minutes at 60% of their maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Participants completed three conditions using a counterbalanced crossover design: (1) no music, (2) music at 90–120 beats per minute (bpm), and (3) music at 150–180 bpm. HR and RPE were recorded every minute. Data were analyzed using one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that the average heart rate while listening to music at a tempo of 90–120 bpm (161.24 bpm) and 150–180 bpm (162.21 bpm) was significantly higher than in the no-music condition (152.87 bpm) at the 0.05 significance level. Furthermore, RPE during exercise did not differ significantly among the conditions. This study suggests that treadmill running accompanied by music influences heart rate and can be used to increase exercise intensity without altering perceived exertion
