The effect of stimulatory, light, and arbitrary musical on maximum and sub maximum performance of nonathletic men

Music is one of the important and affecting factors on sports performance. Most research investigated the effects of music on the indexes decisive in the exercise. However, the present study was to investigate the effect of music on the maximum and sub maximum performance non-athletic men. In test project with a group of 12 men non-athletes with a frequently participated in this study. During those four weeks, with take a week off from the first to fourth weeks, respectively in different circumstances without music, with stimulating music, light music and arbitrary music, Bruce protocol was performed to the extent of fatigue. We use the ANOVA with repeated measures to analysis the difference of the averages of the various stages. The significance level was (p≤0/05). The results showed playing variety of music during the peak of the Bruce protocol on time to exhaustion, the maximal oxygen uptake and the perceived exertion rate no significant effect. Also, we didn’t observed significant difference on measured indexes in the three type of music. In sub maximal performance in second stage Bruce test, was observed a significant difference in the perceived exertion rate when playing stimulatory and arbitrary music. According to the findings obtained from this study and comparison it with previous research it can be concluded that despite useful effects of music on sub maximal performance, in the maximum activity, the type music no significant effect on the training indexes.
