A INFLUÊNCIA DA MÚSICA NO DESEMPENHO DURANTE ATIVIDADES FÍSICAS

Abstract

This study aims to describe evidence of how music preference can mediate exercise responses and performance benefits, identifying which factors may be particularly beneficial for optimizing performance. In addition, the practical implications for practitioners will be highlighted with considerations for strategies to elicit maximum performance through musical preference. The research methodology of this study was based on a literature review study, without the participation of the population or samples. Thus, the articles were extracted for the first time by the authors. The full texts of the relevant articles were then independently evaluated by the authors and advisor. The understandings of each study related to the proposed theme were extracted from all the experiments included. When the data on music and its relationship with physical activity were not explicitly provided, the other significant contents were analyzed to verify which data extraction would be feasible from the works to incorporate this review study. Through the current evidence, it is therefore concluded that an important aspect to increase performance with music is personal choice. In many gyms, locker rooms, and competition environments, music is played over a loudspeaker. The current data available therefore suggests that if music played over the speakers is not preferred by the individual who strives, the performance may suffer from depredations. Thus, coaches and athletes must consider individual musical preferences when trying to optimize performance and training.
