DOES MUSIC ALTER PERFORMANCE AND CHANGE PERCEPTION OF EFFORT DURING EXERCISE?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Listening to music during exercise can produce ergogenic effects. Some studies have reported improved motor performance and increased aerobic endurance. Music can also enhance the exercise experience. One can attribute the psychophysical benefits of music during exercise to a narrowed attention and decreased awareness of internal cues of fatigue. This narrowed attention could lead to lower ratings of perceived exertion. Perception of effort could play a key role in performance or in adherence to a training program. PURPOSE To investigate the role of music on physiological and biomechanical variables and perception of effort in females running at submaximal and maximal intensities on a treadmill. METHODS 9 active females were recruited (22.1±2.4 years; mean±SD). For each participant, pre-tests consisted of anthropometric measures and measurement of VO2peak using the Bruce treadmill protocol (62.5±5.0 kg, 47.9±4.8 ml/kg/min). In a repeated measures counter balanced design, subjects were then assigned to each of the two test conditions: 1) control (no music); 2) music (continuous, 150 beats per minute). Ventilation, oxygen consumption, respiratory exchange ratio, heart rate, blood glucose, blood lactate, stride length, stride frequency and perceived exertion were measured during a 6 min submaximal running test and during a subsequent run to exhaustion. RESULTS Submaximal performance, physiological, biomechanical and psychological variables were not affected by music. However, time to exhaustion was significantly longer in the music condition. Furthermore, during maximal effort, stride length increased while stride frequency decreased with music, thus improving running economy. Respiratory exchange ratio was lower during the music condition. Ratings of perceived exertion were also significantly lower at the end of the run during the music condition. CONCLUSION These data suggest that music can have positive effects on physiological, psychological and biomechanical variables during vigorous exercise in young women.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
