Driving Under the Influence: How Music Listening Affects Driving Behaviors

Interactive effect of listening to music and mid- and post-exercise affective change on exercise intention

Abstract:
In this study, we examined the effects of music on affective changes (mid- and post-exercise) and further investigated the influence of the affective changes on exercise intention. A repeated measures design incorporating counterbalancing techniques was used in the conduction of the study on 80 university students (40 female students). Participants engaged in a stationary cycling exercise at conditions of ventilatory and sub-ventilatory thresholds, and their exercise intention was measured in addition to their affect and attentional focus, mid- and post-exercise. Listening to music mid-exercise helped in improving exercise intention by producing a positive affective experience. Music was found to better predict exercise intention through affective valence in contrast to the activation dimension. Future research may investigate the effects of affective changes due to music on exercise intention and continuation at high exercise intensity exceeding ventilatory threshold (VT).

Exercise and Muscle Performance
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...
Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
Purposes
Factors Influencing Heart Rate
Let us explore the significant factors affecting heart rate, including age, body temperature, posture, acute pain, chemical influences,...
