- Abstract
- In an in vivo laboratory controlled study, 7 healthy male students (age range 23-28years (M = 26 years, SD =2.70 years), height: 167-187 cm (M=177cm, SD= 7.14); weight range 55-100kg (M=79kg, SD= 15.44). performed leg extension and flexion on a cybex NORM isokinetic dynamometer machine. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of listening to different tempo music on lower limb power. This was done by measuring knee extension in newton meters/ sec. Firstly, each subject performed knee extension/flexion under 3 conditions on separate days: while listening to “low tempo music 80-120bpm”, “high tempo music 180-190bpm”, or no music. The order of music (low music, fast music and no music) was selected randomly to prevent an order effect. The only statistical significant difference was between 60deg/sec and 180deg/sec (p= 0.05) On the basis of these results it can be said that the type of music cannot enhance performance. As a conclusion, listening to music and its rhythm cannot enhance performance.
