Refine School Fitness Programmes (eg. NAPFA, PE Lessons)
Cultivate Exercise Habits Since Young
● Regulate emotions and moods ● Induce enjoyable state ● Promote rhythmic movement ● Develop ergogenic effect (enhance physical performance)
Asynchronous music Synchronous music ● ● 120 to 140 bpm No specific bpm ● ● Enhances mood Improve exercise performance ● ● Hinders feeling of pain and fatigue Rhythmic aspects of music allows body movements to sync with ● Does not encourage music synchronisation of body movements and music
Aims and Objectives ● Effects on attentional focus and running enjoyment ● Attain similar study results as caucasians
Research question With the application of music to the students’ run, will there will be a significant effect on the students’ attentional focus and their enjoyment experiences?
Dissociation Association
Research Literature ● Females benefit more from the effects of music [1] ● Participants in the most preferred music condition were shown to have the highest levels of dissociation [2] ● The tempo and volume of the music affects a person’s dissociation and association processes [3]
Hypothesis ● Synchronous music can better aid in the runner’s dissociation process during their run compared to asynchronous music ● Music benefit female youths tremendously, enhancing their running experience through increase of heart rate and enjoyment levels, compared to males
Methodology and Procedure ● Music selection ● Lab tests (15 Females 11 Males) ● Attentional Focus Scale (AFS) ● Interest/Enjoyment scale survey ● Heart rate monitor
Lab test procedure ● 3 music playlists consist of no music, synchronous music and asynchronous music condition ● Music volume is controlled ● Double-blind experiment
Lab test procedure 1. Participants use Brunel Music Rating Inventory-3 to select preferred music with different motivational music qualities 2. Run warm up of 2 minutes on treadmill with warm up playlist and rest 5 minutes after 3. Start running 800m on treadmill with music playlist 1 and rest for 10 minutes after 4. Participants have their heart rate measured, rate AFS and Enjoyment survey 5. Participants to repeat step 3 to 4 with music playlist 2 and music playlist 3
Heart Rate Sensor
Results and Discussions
Table 1 - Highest AF observed in the Asynchronous Music condition - Lowest AF observed in the No Music condition - The AF scores in the three conditions were not different between females and males. - This result indicates that AF scores were not significant across the music conditions.
Discussion ● No significant interaction effect between asynchronous music and synchronous music ● Results were not significant between genders ● Data does not support hypothesis
Table 2 - Highest HR observed in the Asynchronous Music condition - Lowest HR observed in the No Music condition. - The main effect of the genders was not significant Post hoc tests - There were significant HR differences between No Music and Asynchronous Music conditions (p = .002), and between No Music and Synchronous Music (p = .02) HRs between Asynchronous Music and Synchronous Music conditions were not significantly different (p = .35)
Table 3 - Highest enjoyment level observed in the Asynchronous Music condition - Lowest enjoyment level for the entire sample was observed in the No Music condition. - Enjoyment levels were significantly different across the music conditions. - The main effect of genders was not significant such that enjoyment levels in the three conditions were not different between females and males. Post hoc tests- There were significant enjoyment level differences between No music and Asynchronous Music conditions (p = .001), and between No music and Synchronous Music conditions (p = .003). Enjoyment levels between Asynchronous Music and Synchronous Music conditions were not significantly different (p = 1.00).
Discussion ● Results not significant between genders ● Heart rate increase with music application ● Enjoyment levels increase with music application ● Data does not support hypothesis ● Music provides positive influences on runners
Possible flaws and errors ● Running pace was not fixed ● A lag in recording of results may cause the results to be inaccurate ● Small sample size
Conclusion ● Synchronous music does not provide greater positive experiences than asynchronous music Both genders benefit positively from music application ●
