Effects of Self-Selected Music on Strength Endurance and Rate of Perceived Exertion

Abstract

Music is frequently used by individuals who exercise professionally or recreationally. However, the number of studies on the effect of music on performance in different exercise types is limited. This study aimed to examine the effects of Self-Selected Music (SSM) on strength-related performance components, and Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) in a strength endurance test, including 50-repetition knee extension and flexion movements on an isokinetic dynamometer. 34 male participants (Age x̄= 21,26±1,71 years, Height x̄= 179,41±5,79 cm, Body Weight x̄= 77.70±9.03 kg) voluntarily participated in this study. According to a balanced crossover study design, participants completed the test twice at different times, with SSM and without music (WM). Participants' RPE was measured with the Borg Scale immediately after the test. In the study, Strength Endurance (SE), Peak Torque (PT), and Total Work (TW) variables were examined as strength-related performance components for the evaluation of muscular performance. Paired-Samples t-Test and its non-parametric equivalent, Wilcoxon Z-Test, were used for data analysis. The results revealed that there was no significant difference between SSM and WM conditions in terms of knee extension movement measurements; SE [t(33)= 1.102; p= 0.27], PT [t(33)= 1.02; p= 0.31], and TW [t(33)= 0.956; p= 0.34]. Similarly, there was no significant difference in the flexion movement of the knee for the SE (Z= -0.692; p= 0.48), and TW (Z= -1.872; p= 0.06) variables, while the PT values (Z= -2.266; p= 0.02) were significantly different and higher in the SSM condition. Finally, there was no difference between the two conditions in terms of RPE values [t(33)= -0.549; p= 0.58]. In conclusion, the use of SSM did not have a positive effect on muscular performance parameters and RPE during a high-intensity exercise. However, the significant increase in PT in flexion revealed that music created higher intensity work capacity in the hamstring muscle group responsible for this movement. The use of SSM during exercise can have a positive effect on the performance of certain muscle groups.

Öz-Seçim Müziğin Kuvvette Devamlılık ve Algılanan Zorluk Derecesi Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Müzik, profesyonel ya da rekreatif olarak egzersiz yapan bireyler tarafından sıkça kullanılmaktadır. Buna karşın, farklı egzersiz türlerinde müziğin performansa etkisine ilişkin çalışmaların sayısı sınırlıdır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, izokinetik dinamometrede 50 tekrarlı diz ekstansiyon ve fleksiyon hareketlerini içeren bir kuvvette devamlılık testinde, Öz-Seçim Müziğin (ÖSM) kuvvetle ilgili performans bileşenleri ve Algılanan Zorluk Derecesi (AZD) üzerine etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmaya 34 erkek katılımcı (Yaş x̄= 21.26±1.71 yıl, Boy x̄= 179.41±5.79 cm, Vücut Ağırlığı x̄= 77.70±9.03 kg) gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcılar, dengelenmiş çapraz araştırma desenine göre müzikli ve müziksiz olarak farklı zamanlarda iki kez testi tamamlamıştır. Katılımcıların AZD’leri testten hemen sonra Borg Skalası ile ölçülmüştür. Araştırmada kuvvetle ilgili performans bileşenleri olarak; Kuvvette Devamlılık (KD), Zirve Tork (ZT) ve Toplam İş (Tİ) değişkenleri incelenmiştir. Verilerin analizi için Bağımlı Gruplarda t-Testi ve testin parametrik olmayan karşılığı Wilcoxon Z-testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, dizde ekstansiyon hareketinde, KD [t(33)= 1.102; p= 0.27], ZT [t(33)= 1.02; p= 0.31] ve Tİ [t(33)= 0.956; p= 0.34] ölçümleri açısından, müzikli ve müziksiz koşullar arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmadığını ortaya koymuştur. Dizde fleksiyon hareketi için ise, benzer şekilde KD (Z= -0.692; p= 0.48) ve Tİ (Z= -1.872; p= 0.06) değişkenleri için anlamlı fark görülmezken, ZT değerlerinde müzikli koşulda anlamlı fark (Z= -2.266; p= 0.02) olduğu görülmüştür. Son olarak, AZD değerleri açısından iki koşul arasında anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır [t(33)= -0.549; p= 0.58]. Sonuç olarak, ÖSM kullanımının yüksek şiddetli bir egzersiz sırasında kassal performans parametreleri ve AZD üzerinde pozitif bir etkisi görülmemiştir. Ancak, fleksiyonda ZT’deki anlamlı artış, bu hareketten sorumlu hamstring kas grubunda, müziğin daha yüksek şiddette çalışma kapasitesi yarattığını ortaya koymuştur. Egzersiz sırasında ÖSM kullanımı, belirli kas gruplarının performansı üzerinde olumlu bir etki yaratabilir.
