28:   Effects of pre-exercise listening to slow and fast rhythm music on
29-   supramaximal cycle performance and selected metabolic variables
--
46-   We examined the effect of listening to two different types of music
47:   (with slow and fast rhythm), prior to supramaximal cycle exercise, on
48-   performance, heart rate, the concentration of lactate and ammonia in
49-   blood, and the concentration of catecholamines in plasma. Six male
50:   students participated in this study. After listening to slow rhythm or
51:   fast rhythm music for 20 min, the subjects performed supramaximal
52-   exercise for 45 s using a cycle ergometer. Listening to slow and fast
53:   rhythm music prior to supramaximal exercise did not significantly
54-   affect the mean power output. The plasma norepinephrine concentration
55:   immediately before the end of listening to slow rhythm music was
56-   significantly lower than before listening (p < 0.05). The plasma
57-   epinephrine concentration immediately before the end of listening to
58:   fast rhythm music was significantly higher than before listening (p <
59-   0.05). The type of music had no effect on blood lactate and ammonia
60-   levels or on plasma catecholamine levels following exercise. In
61:   conclusion, listening to slow rhythm music decreases the plasma
62:   norepinephrine level, and listening to fast rhythm music increases the
63-   plasma epinephrine level. The type of music has no impact on power
