Lecture 5 - Music and Exercise

Question 1

3 Effects of Music

Answer 1

• Psychological
• Psychophysical
• Ergogenic

Question 2

Whitehead, 2015
Rhythmic Entrainment Definition
Beneficial for…

Brain structures activated…

Answer 2

• 2 rhythmic processes interact with each other and eventually synchronize into a common phase and/or periodicity
• (stroke) movement disorders, motor, speech, cognitive impairments
• caudate nucleus, inferior precuneus

Question 3

Whitehead, 2015
Emotional Induction Definition

Beneficial for…
Depends on…
Brain structures activated…

Answer 3

• reciprocal relationship b/w music-induced emotion, neural circuitry, physiological functions resulting in music restoring patients’ emotional well-being
• depressed patients with stroke
• rhythmic structure and emotional content
• motor areas, ventral striatum, amygdala, midbrain

Question 4

Whitehead, 2015
Neuroplasticity Definition
Beneficial for…
Dependent on…

Brain structures activated…

Answer 4

• brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections
• stroke (motor function, speech)
• musical stimulation, motivation via emotional engagement, attention to musical aspects (rhythm)
• frontal lob, cingulate gyrus, amygdala

Question 5

Raglio, 2015 (Parkinson’s)

Rhythmic influence on kinetic systems

Answer 5

• synchronization and adjustment of muscles to auditory stimuli
• movement synchronization, coordination
• possible production of internal rhythm persisting in absence of stimuli

Question 6

Stork & Ginis, 2017 (Music & Sprint Intervals)

Answer 6

• self-selected music increased enjoyment, physical performance
• enjoyment predicted attitudes towards SIT
• post-exercise attitude mediates PE intentions
