The Effect of Music Genres on Power

Performance Tyler W. Golden B.S.

Dr. Rodney Hansen Ph.D.

Introduction

S  Music is a major component of American society and recently has been used in conjunction with exercise

S  Music benefits on anaerobic exercise include RPE, speed, power, and HR (Brooks & Brooks 2010)

S  Music type also has effects on grip strength (Brooks & Brooks 2010)

S  Pre-game music helps create flow states that facilitate better performance. (Pain, Harwood, & Anderson 2011)

Gaps in the Research

S  Despite benefits for aerobic exercise the research involving anaerobic exercise is not as well documented and has produced mixed results (Brooks & Brooks 2010)

S  But studies have shown improvement in Wingate performance with motivational music playing (Brooks & Brooks 2010)

S  Most research has focused more on music tempo and intensity (Bishop 2010)

S  Research has focused on mostly Self-Selected (Biagini et al. 2012) and how it ranks on the Brunel Music Rating Inventory-2 (Pain, Harwood, Anderson 2011).

S  Few studies have looked at lyrical content (Sanchez, Moss, Twist, & Karageroghis 2014) or genre benefits (Baghurst et al. 2014)

Reason for my Research

S  To help identify music effects on anaerobic testing (Torque=Newton-meter, Power=Watts, Work=Joules).

S  To help identify if a specific genre benefits in power performance (regardless of: tempo, intensity, volume, lyrics)

Purpose

S  To conduct additional investigation on the effect of music genre style on power performance with a novel measuring tool (Kin-Com)

S  Hypothesis: We believe the more “aggressive” music genres will lead to better performance. (Widmeyer & Birch 1984, Dane & Sekertekin 2005) Rock>Rap>Techno>Country>No music.

S  Aggressive as defined by Webster Dictionary as: using forceful methods to succeed or to do something medical: very severe.

S  Aggression: angry or violent behavior or feelings

Methods

S  College age student 18-28

S  Signed IRB consent form, with option to drop out if participant believes lyrics are overly offensive

S  Physically active individuals as defined by the ACSM. 20-60 minutes, 3-5 times a week

S  Healthy (no significant musculoskeletal injuries in the past 12 months)

S  Exclusion: If participating in strength experiments

S  Crossover Design (Every participant gets all the conditions. Conditions will be chosen in random order)

S  3 sessions (two interventions per sessions with the first session being a familiarization session, 40 minute rest in between exercise) {Houglum 2010}

Methods continued…

S  Participant will have height and weight measured

S  Power analysis revealed-19 participants needed. Want 20

S  Will begin listening to music 10 minutes before testing while warming up on a stationary cycle at 50% perceived max and continue listening during the testing period on the Kin-Com.

S  3 concentric knee extensions at 180º/sec on the Kin-Com (Isokinetic International. Chattanooga, TN) with 90 seconds of rest between each “kick”. (Lenhart et. Al 2013 & Houglum 2010)

S  Sitting with hip for 85º of flexion and knee starting position at 90º, strapped into the chair

S  Will take the best of the three “kicks” to use.

S  Right leg will be used for all individuals.

S  Variables: Dependent- Power Output, Work, Torque & Independent- Rock, Hip-hop/Rap, Techno/EDM, Country, No music

Methods

Testing layout

S  Session 1 (Familiarization, 40 minute rest, Condition 1#)

S  Session 2 (Condition #2, 40 minute rest, Condition 3#)

S  Session 3 (Condition #4, 40 minute rest, Condition 5#)

Statistical Analysis

S  One-way ANOVA

S  Alpha level p=.05

S  Identify which condition elicited the best performance from the variables collected.

Funding

S  Bose SoundTrue™ in ear headphones $99.95

S  Incentive $5 to Barbocoa (20x5=$100)

S  Total = $200

Unresolved Issues

S  Which specific songs will be in each condition

S  Assumptions- One session of familiarization is enough, Participants will give max effort each time

S  Limitations- Participants able to recreate similar behavior patterns 24 hours before each testing session. Controlling against the use of performance enhancing substances

Audio Samples-Rock

Of Mice & Men- The Depths (BPM-100)

Audio Sample-Hip Hop/Rap

Eminem- Till I Collapse (86-BPM)

Audio Samples-Techno/EDM

David Guetta- She Wolf (Falling to Pieces) BPM-132

Audio Sample-Country

Johnny Cash-God’s Gonna Cut You Down (BPM-82)
