Influência da música no estado de ânimo e no desempenho em exercício

Abstract

The music influence in the performance, in moderate exercise and mood states has already been well elucidated in literature. However, some studies have found improvement in these variables in the intense and severe exercise. Besides, listening to music is enough disseminated among physical activity apprentices, who can select music in accordance to their personal preferences. However, the relation musical preference between the performance and mood state is not explained. Therefore, two goals were proposed. The first study was to analyze the influence of listening preferred and non-preferred music considering the performance, physiologic responses, Rating Perceived Exertion (RPE) and mood states in the severe exercise on ergometer cycle. The second goal was to analyze the influence of listening preferred and non-preferred music according to the same variables of the first goal, but in the intense exercise on the ergometer cycle. The study one determined Critical Power model parameters (CP) in different protocols, Preferred Music (PM), Non- Preferred Music (NP) and Without Music (WM). Four women and six men were submitted to the study. After listening or not to the music the subjects carried out the warm-up and the test. The Heart Rate (HR), Blood Concentration Lactate ([LA]), RPE and mood states were examined. Significant differences were not found in HR, [LA], RPE and CP parameters. However, the data showed that the positive mood states in fatigue moment was higher in PM than in NP and WM. The data also showed that the audition of the preferred music is only able to influence the mood state in severe exercise. Four women and six men were submitted on the second study. CP parameters were determined across the two loads after two tests (Load CP and Load below CP). In this study, the HR, [LA], RPE and mood states were examined during twenty minutes. No significant difference was found in the psychological and physiological variables. Therefore, the performance in PM (9275 m) was higher than WM (7857 m) and NP (7597 m) in load CP. In the same study, two women and four men were submitted until the fatigue. The same variables and time to exhaustion (tlim) to PM, NP and WM were analyzed. The HR, in the load below CP, was higher in PM (155 bpm; 30841m) than in NP (148 bpm; 21265m) and WM (145 bpm, 23556m). The data showed that listen to the preferred music improves the performance in intensive exercise. The results gotten through the studies show the audition influence of the preferred music in the physiological and psychological variables is a dependent intensity.
