With the improvement of living standards, more and more people begin to exercise. Judging from the current trend of mass fitness, strength training and aerobic exercise are the choices of most people. It is not difficult to find that quite a few fitness enthusiasts will be accompanied by songs and music when doing fitness exercises. If you are running outdoors, you will listen to it alone with headphones. If you are in the gym, it is often the stereo that plays music in a loop. In any case, there is a concert to make the training less monotonous and more passionate! High-pitched music can improve the strength training effect.

In a study in 20 15 years, Italian scholars recruited 3 1 male subjects with strength training experience and randomly divided them into two groups, one group listened to music and the other group did not listen to music. The content of the test is to test the maximum weight of bench press with Smith frame, and then test the maximum repetition times of bench press with the weight of 60% of the maximum strength.

In the first test, neither group listened to music; After two weeks, in the second test, the group listening to music was tested with self-selected music, and the group not listening to music was tested in a quiet environment. By comparing the two data, it was found that there was no significant difference between the two groups in the maximum strength test, but the maximum repetition times of the music listening group increased by 5.8% on average in the second test, which means that each subject pushed one more on average. What this brings to training is that listening to high-pitched music may bring relatively better results when athletes are engaged in muscle endurance or high-intensity interval training.

Listening to your favorite music can improve the exercise effect. Some scholars believe that listening to music when you are healthy can make your brain release chemicals that make you feel good, such as dopamine and opioids, which will promote your good mood, relieve your pain and reduce your fatigue.

In addition, when we listen to our favorite music, it will distract our attention from external information such as physical discomfort or fatigue, leading to positive adjustment of fatigue and mood, while listening to music we don't like can not promote the change of attention. Another view is that it is related to the level of arousal. Because the arousal level has an inverted U-shaped relationship with the performance of sports ability, that is, too high or too low arousal level is not conducive to sports performance, and choosing appropriate music can help us optimize the arousal level, so it is helpful to improve and improve the sports effect.
