Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of motivational music
during moderate intensity exercise on psycho-physiological measurements
including heart rate, recovery time, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), duration of
exercise and post exercise feeling (EFI). A total of ten healthy male subjects of
Universiti Sains Malaysia students (22.6 ± 0.7 years old) were involved in this
study. Brunel Motivational Rating Inventory-2 (BMRI-2) was used to determine
the list of motivational musics. In pre-experiment, subjects performed two
preliminary test, which are sub-maximal running test and maximal oxygen test
the determination of 65% of VO2 max intensity exercise. Experiment involved
three different exercise conditions were performed by the subjects; exercise
with motivational music, exercise with oudeterous music and exercise with no
music. Measurements on heart rate and RPE were recorded during experiment,
while recovery time, exercise duration and feeling were assessed after
experiment completed. The findings revealed a significant difference (p=.011)
for exercise duration in exercise with motivational music compared to the other
groups. There was also significant result (p=.O29) for feeling (positive
engagement) in exercise with motivational music compared to Control group.
There was no significant difference for recovery time, heart rate, RPE and three
others subscale of EFI (tranquillity, revitalization and physical exhaustion)
among the three exercise conditions. The results supported most of the
previous findings on the positive effect of music especially on physiological
