Abstract

The auditory illusion caused when two tones of similar frequencies are heard through stereo sound is called Binaural Beats and has been used in several areas, such as relaxation, attention and memory, mood regulation and more recently in the field of physical exercise. Thus, the aim of the study was to analyze the effects of Binaural Beats and its possible applications in sports and physical exercise. An integrative bibliographic review was carried out in the databases: PubMed, Scielo, Embase and SportDiscus. The descriptors used were Binaural Beats, OR Binaural Beating, OR Binaural Beat Therapy, OR Binaural auditory, OR Binaural frequency combined with Exercise, OR Physical activity, OR Sport. The search totaled 56 scientific studies (articles or abstracts) and four met the eligibility criteria being included and analyzed, showing that the use of Binaural Beats seems to contribute both to the improvement of performance and to recovery from exercise. However, it depends on the exposure time, frequency used and time of intervention.
